Meet geobberthe, the rapid chess enthusiast whose rating rollercoaster could rival a theme park ride! With a peak rapid rating of 665 in April 2025, they've demonstrated flashes of brilliance, but also have a knack for keeping fans on the edge of their seats with unexpected twists.

A Career of Battles & Brilliance

Across nearly 1,000 rapid games, geobberthe has secured 442 wins, but also tasted defeat 462 times, with a sprinkle of 42 hard-fought draws. Their longest winning streak extended to 9 games, proudly showing that when on fire, they can blaze a trail. Yet, the losing streaks (up to 8 in a row) reveal a player unafraid of embracing challenges and learning the painful art of bouncing back.

Opening Moves: The Gambit of Choices

Geobberthe’s preferred battleground? The King's Pawn Opening, King's Knight Variation, with 47 games played there and a respectable 40% win rate. However, the real star appears to be the Nimzowitsch Defense, Kennedy Linksspringer Variation, where they have a remarkable 76.5% win rate across 17 games—a secret weapon worthy of a spy movie!

Style & Strategy

Known for a slightly impatient streak, with a 2.6% early resignation rate, geobberthe tends to drag battles into the endgame (~58% frequency), where their true mettle shows. Winning games typically last 53 moves, while losses stretch longer to around 64 moves—maybe an indication they know how to make their opponents sweat.
White pieces bring slightly better fortunes (50.11% win rate) than black (43.37% win rate), but the difference isn’t huge—this player embraces both sides of the board with equal enthusiasm (and occasional frustration).

Tactical Awareness & Resilience

If you ever believe it’s over, remember: geobberthe’s comeback rate is an astonishing 86.43%. Even after losing a piece, their chances of victory stand at a gritty 44.37%. A true fighter, they occasionally suffer one-sided losses (5.41%), but that just fuels their next comeback.

Psychological Quirks & Playing Patterns

Beware the tilt factor of 8—it’s not a warning, just a hint that emotions do play a role. Their best time to strike is at 9 AM, where their win rate peaks impressively. So, if you plan to challenge geobberthe, consider the early morning sessions as an uphill climb!
