FlorisSluiter03: The Chess Journeyman

Meet FlorisSluiter03, a player who’s been duking it out on the 64 squares since at least 2018. With a rollercoaster rating history that reads like a suspense novel, Floris has experienced the thrilling highs of a 1436 Blitz peak in November 2019, and the humbling lows dipping below 800 in late 2024. Talk about resilience!

Specializing mainly in Blitz chess, Floris is a true speed warrior—having played over 1,400 blitz games with a respectable 710 wins. The data paints a picture of a fierce competitor who doesn’t shy away from the battlefield, often engaging in epic battles of endurance averaging nearly 70 moves per win. That’s longer than some Netflix episodes!

When the clock ticks fast in Bullet, Floris’s win rate teeters just below 50%, proving lightning-fast reflexes aren’t always a guarantee of victory. Rapid and Daily games see some strategic promise too, with a peak Rapid rating over 1400 and a Daily max of 1200—a cautious but steady approach outside the blitz spotlight.

Playing Style & Personality

Known for a low early resignation rate (about 1.2%), Floris fights until the bitter end—because surrender is so last century. Their endgame frequency is impressively high, showing a penchant for grinding down opponents when games drag into the late moves. Comebacks? Nearly 82% success rate after falling behind, proving the tenacity of a true chess fighter.

However, beware the tilt factor of around 8—Floris might get a bit heated after a loss, but who wouldn’t? The best time to catch them at peak form is at midnight, when mysterious forces align and chess magic happens.
