Profile: flummoxed_feline

Meet flummoxed_feline, a chess enthusiast whose journey on the 64 squares is as intriguing as their username suggests.

Flummoxed_feline excels in the Rapid format with a respectable win rate hovering around 55-57%, showing balanced skills and a flair for steady improvement. Blitz and Bullet games reveal a more playful and experimental side, with notable peaks but also lessons learned through more losses than wins.

Style & Strategy

A player who doesn't back down easily — boasting a remarkable 80% comeback rate after falling behind and a solid 44% chance to win even when losing a piece. Expect long, strategic battles: victories take nearly 60 moves on average, losses slightly more, as flummoxed_feline carefully maneuvers through complexities.

Interestingly, the player exhibits a slightly higher success rate when playing Black (49%) versus White (47%), proving that sometimes the cat indeed likes to lurk in the shadows before striking.

Psychology & Playing Times

The best moment for this feline strategist to shine is in the evening around 6 PM, when their winning chances spike to nearly 61%. But beware the “tilt factor” of 7 — the emotional mountains and valleys of competitive chess are felt keenly, though quickly shaken off.

Notable Streaks & Opponents

The longest winning spree was a proud 5 games, yet the toughest lesson came with a 7-game losing streak that surely tested patience and grit. Among frequent foes, surrendrrx stands out, with a battleground of 26 matches and a win rate of nearly 31%. Meanwhile, against opponents like tuxedoanteater, flummoxed_feline has scored a comfortable 80% victory rate — a clear feline domination!

Signature Openings & Tactical Play

Favoring the enigmatic “Unknown Opening” in rapid games, this player prefers to keep rivals guessing. Their approaches often embrace subtle positional skirmishes over flashy tactics, but once the endgame clock ticks (which happens frequently, given the 61% endgame frequency), the cunning of flummoxed_feline comes to the forefront.

Recent Matches Snapshots

In a recent thrilling encounter on April 11, 2023, flummoxed_feline cleverly won on time against alexandrudiacon, exploiting time pressure with precise moves in a Bird's Opening setup. However, even the sharpest claws face setbacks — just moments before, an intense game against fr520 ended in a narrow loss on time despite valiant efforts.

In Summary

Flummoxed_feline is a spirited competitor lovingly tangled in the dance of checkmates and near misses alike. A player who embraces every game as a new adventure, whether it's a calculated poke or a playful swipe at the opponent’s king. Watching this feline’s evolution might leave you exasperated, amused, and always eager for the next move.
