GEEK87 - The Chess Enthusiast With a Rollercoaster Rating

Meet GEEK87, a daring rapid and daily chess player who loves the game nearly as much as the thrill of the unpredictable. Starting from a rapid rating high of 662 in late 2020, GEEK87’s journey has been nothing short of a rollercoaster ride — swinging through battles with an average rapid rating fluctuating around the 300 mark in 2025, while still holding on to notable victories and a steadfast passion for the board.

Playing Style and Statistics

GEEK87 has an early resignation rate of about 11%, proving that sometimes it’s better to bow out gracefully than stick around for a painful loss. However, with an endgame frequency of 44%, they do stick around for those crucial late-game moments, averaging nearly 53 moves per win — patience is a virtue, after all.

Win rates hover around 50.63% when playing white and a sturdy 46.58% when playing black, showing a well-rounded ability to handle the game from both sides. Tactical awareness shines through with a comeback rate of nearly 57%, meaning when the chips are down, GEEK87 often fights back fiercely. (Though sometimes, losing a piece still spells doom with a 39.65% win rate afterward.)

Favorite Openings

When it comes to rapid games, GEEK87 is an explorer. The King's Pawn Opening is a classic companion with nearly 186 games under their belt, even if the win rate there leans towards a challenging 45%. The Queen's Pawn Opening, Chigorin Variation, however, shows some love with a positive win rate of just over 51%, proving it's a secret weapon in certain circles.

Other preferred openings include the Vienna Game (62% success rate, not bad for a tricky line) and the Bishop’s Opening Berlin Defense with a solid 52% win rate. Clearly, GEEK87 is not afraid to get creative and experiment across the board.

Recent Battles & Memorable Games

The latest triumph for GEEK87 was a dazzling checkmate against reds-liverpool on May 30, 2025. The thrilling final position showed GEEK87’s keen eye for tactics and patience, culminating with a rook delivering the knockout punch at move 40. Checkmate indeed!

On the flip side, tough losses like the one against MiguelCaravina remind us that even the best stumble – sometimes resignation is the noble choice when up against relentless pressure.

The Chess Personality

With a tilt factor of 13, GEEK87 has moments of frustration but manages to keep composure better than many. The best time of day to challenge them? Around 10 AM, when their win rate peaks near 60% — so if you want to catch GEEK87 at their best, set your alarm early!

Against equally matched rivals, it’s a nail-biting contest with a decent win rate of 53%, but facing stronger opponents proves challenging, resulting in an 83% loss rate — the classic underdog story. Still, GEEK87’s persistent spirit makes every game an adventure.
