Profile Summary: gkrgkrg
Meet gkrgkrg, a warrior of the 64 squares who battles chess opponents with relentless spirit and a penchant for surprising gambits. Rated just shy of 1400 in Rapid chess with a peak rating of 1363, this player proves that passion and perseverance often outshine pure Elo numbers. Though the statistics suggest a few more losses than wins (36 wins to 67 losses in Rapid), gkrgkrg embraces the struggle, learning from each game, and often coming back stronger—boasting an impressive comeback rate of over 80% in Rapid games. This is the kind of player who doesn’t quit easily!
Playing Style
Always ready to shake things up, gkrgkrg enjoys openings like the Alekhine’s Defense and Englund Gambit, where the tactical fireworks often leave spectators breathless—and sometimes confused. With a 40% win rate playing Black compared to a more modest 25% with White, it’s clear that gkrgkrg prefers the thrill of counterattacking, inviting opponents to slip up while striking back with vigor. Notably, the Scandinavian Defense Mieses Kotrc Variation holds a personal best win rate of nearly 43%, proving that a little known variation can turn tides in their favor.
Battle Scars and Glory
It's not all smooth sailing—anyone can see a longest losing streak of 9 games. Yet, the current losing streak is only 3, so bounce-back potential is high! Resilience is key for gkrgkrg, who also demonstrates practical wisdom by resigning early just 2.9% of the time, showing respect for the opponent's skill and battle conditions.
Strengths & Quirks
- Tactical Awareness: 31.87% win rate after losing a piece, and a surprisingly low 11.59% rate of one-sided losses.
- Timing is Everything: Best time to play is mornings around 9 AM, but beware: evening hours from 21:00 to 23:00 bring mixed results.
- Psychology: Slight tilt factor of 9 hints at some frustration under fire, but the love of the game always prevails.
Recent Memorable Victory
The latest triumph came by resignation after a fiery battle in the Bishop’s Opening against fuzzzy6. After a daring bishop sacrifice on move 5 (Bxf7+), gkrgkrg demonstrated both bravery and calculation, culminating in a complex endgame where opponents wisely threw in the towel.
Off The Board
Although the bullet rating lags behind at just 398, and wins there have been elusive, gkrgkrg remains unshaken. After all, quality over speed—sometimes moving slowly like a knight rather than sprinting like a rook is the real art! Amongst regular opponents, some like fuzzzy6 suffer a perfect 0% win rate against gkrgkrg, while others earn a chance at redemption.
In sum, gkrgkrg might not yet be a grandmaster, but is undoubtedly a master of grit, unpredictability, and chess fun. After all, every chess hero started with humble beginnings and a few lost games before their royal ascendance.
