Profile Summary: funeral-1
Meet funeral-1, the chess enthusiast who’s climbed from a humble 227 Rapid rating in 2024 to a more fearsome 328 in 2025 — a meteoric rise powered by 514 Rapid games! Though occasionally befuddled by the Dutch Defense (just 21% wins, ouch!), funeral-1 shines brightest with the Van 't Kruijs Opening and the Englund Gambit, boasting win rates close to 70% and 50%, respectively.
Not one to shy away from gritty battles, this player has logged 237 wins, 227 losses, and 51 draws in Rapid chess, proving that resilience is key. In the Daily format? A perfect 1-for-1 start with a flawless 400 rating—talk about a debut to remember!
Funeral-1’s style is a patient one: averaging 47 moves per victory but a punishing 71 moves per defeat — apparently sticking to the board until the bitter end (or timeout). With a tilt factor of 7, they occasionally let passion get the best of them, but their comeback rate is nearly 49%, showing a tenacity that refuses to quit.
This player has a quirky sense of timing too, performing best around late evening hours (22:00 and 23:00) with win rates close to 60%, possibly fueled by nighttime snacks and caffeine. And when losing a piece, don’t count funeral-1 out — the comeback rate after setbacks is a perfect 100%, like a chess phoenix rising from captured pawns.
Memorable moments:
- Victory by winning on time over Euthanasya in a tense 56-move Rapid duel.
- Checkmating galina2235 in a finely executed Queen’s Pawn Defense game full of tactical flair.
- An unfortunate loss to bonchique, humorously marked by a late-game time defeat — proving even warriors have off days.
Funeral-1 may not be the boss of every game yet (their record vs. theboss0777 stands at a humbling 33% win rate), but with a current winning streak record of 7 and a daily streak set to zero only due to scarcity of games, the future looks bright — or at least wildly entertaining.
All in all, funeral-1 is the kind of player who plays not just to win, but to experience every twist, turn, and dramatic blunder chess can throw at them — reminding us all that it’s never just a game, but a battle of wits, patience, and perseverance... and maybe a little bit of humor.
