Known not just for skill, but also for resilience, gmpacman holds an impressive 82.2% comeback rate after blundering a piece, and a near-indestructible psychological fortitude with a tilt factor of only 6 (translation: they rarely throw their mouse at the screen).

Victory patterns? Oh yes. This GM once launched a 29-game winning streak, the kind of run that would make even Magnus Magnusson dizzy. And while their longest losing streak is a mere 6 games, their current streak remains optimistically undefeated, with three fresh wins in the kitty.
