Scott Proctor (aka fuddlemybutt) - Chess Enthusiast Extraordinaire

Meet Scott Proctor, a rapid and blitz chess aficionado whose rating journey resembles a thrilling rollercoaster ride — with peaks at 542 in Rapid and a lightning-fast blitz high of 849 achieved in early 2023. Not your average player, Scott's style is a blend of resilience, tactical wit, and just a dash of whimsical flair that keeps opponents guessing.

Scott’s rapid game is a story of perseverance: with 77 games in January alone, he battled through 39 wins, 29 losses, and 9 draws. This rugged schedule reveals a lover of the grind rather than the quick payday. His longer games see him commit an average of 65 moves to secure victory, proving patience and strategy go hand in hand. His comeback rate stands impressively at nearly 60%, so don’t count him out just because he lost a piece — this player loves the thrilling drama of turning tides.

Opening the gates with daring choices like the Grob Opening (where he boasts a perfect 100% win rate) and the King’s Pawn Opening variations, Scott embraces unconventional strategies with a smile. Even the mysterious “Undefined” category neither confuses nor frightens him; a 50% win rate there speaks volumes of adaptability. His beloved Vienna Game and Queen’s Pawn lines each bring him a respectable 60% success rate, proving he’s no stranger to classical battles.

Opponents beware! Scott has a soft spot for taking on “dinopoo9,” whom he has crushed 85.7% of the time, and “brakin12” who gets hit 100%. But watch out for folks like “jstoeckel,” his nemesis with only a 12.5% win rate. Rivalries like these add spice to his chess tales (and fuel for future revenge matches).

Psychologically speaking, Scott's tilt factor hovers at a humble 6 — which means while occasionally frustrated, he’s mostly zen as he chases the 22:00 “prime time” when his win rate rockets to perfect 100%. And if you thought early resignation was his thing, think again: he quits early only about 7% of the time, favoring to battle it out till the endgame, which he reaches almost 60% of the time.

Looking for proof of his tactical prowess? Check out his most recent dazzling victory, a swift checkmate delivered after a beautifully crafted 30-move strategic ballet against “JLamboJr.” When victory comes, it’s often by checkmate (33 wins) rather than timeout or resignation, showcasing his killer instinct.

All in all, Scott Proctor, alias fuddlemybutt, is a chess player who combines grit, humor, and a flair for the unexpected. Whether he’s juggling tricky openings or clawing back from a losing position with a cheeky grin, this is one player who makes every game an adventure.
