Profile Summary: gladius2020
From humble beginnings in 2019 with a rapid rating just shy of 1100, gladius2020 has been on a rollercoaster chess journey worthy of a dramatic novel—or at least a tense thriller. Known for resilience and a knack for comebacks (with a comeback rate of 62.43% and a perfect 100% win rate after losing a piece), this player refuses to go down without a fight.
Despite a moderate early resignation rate of 4.8% (hey, you’ve got to know when to fold 'em, right?), gladius2020 loves the endgame, engaging in them nearly 56% of the time. Interestingly, they tend to stretch out their games longer in defeat (average 60.9 moves) than in victory (about 57.8 moves), proving that even losses come with a solid fight to the last pawn.
Gladius2020’s rapid ratings have seen fluctuating highs and lows, peaking around 1030 in 2024, but dipping to the mid-600s in early 2025—only adding to their tale of chess conquest and occasional setbacks. Blitz is a less traveled battleground, with fewer games but enough drama to note: a maximum blitz rating of 965 marks quick thinking when it counts.
Playing style is balanced, with almost equal success as White and Black (~49.3% and 49.5% win rates respectively). Their psychological toughness shows through a tilt factor of 15, standing firm without letting frustration derail their focus. Notably, their win rate jumps significantly during the evening hours (7pm presents a near 59% win rate), so catch them before dinner for the best fight!
In the great fight against famed opponents, gladius2020 has charmingly mixed fortunes: total domination over some (100% against many), but zero wins against others—because, let’s face it, even gladiators have nemeses.
With a staggering 4,762 rapid wins and nearly as many losses, gladius2020 keeps the chessboards sizzling with thousands of moves, a long-standing warrior not afraid to embrace each challenge, blunder, or brilliant tactic. Dark horses beware—this gladiator's battle cry echoes loud and clear: “The game is never over until the last move!”
