Profile Summary: goovygoober

Meet goovygoober, a chess enthusiast with a tale full of tactical twists and comebacks worthy of a movie script. With a peak rapid rating soaring to 1109 back in 2021, this player has danced a relentless tango on the 64 squares, demonstrating a stubborn spirit that refuses to throw in the towel easily.

Goovygoober's journey is a rollercoaster of triumphs and trials: boasting a nearly even split across rapid games with 204 wins, 210 losses, and squeaking out 23 draws. In blitz, although sparse with only a couple of games, they've tasted victory and defeat equally. Their longest winning streak stands at an impressive 8 games, perfectly balanced by a gritty 13-game losing streak that they managed to shake off.

This player’s opening repertoire is as colorful as their username. The Van 't Kruijs Opening is their go-to battle start, contested in 90 games, with a modest 42.2% win rate. They also dabble in classics like the King's Pawn Opening and the Scandinavian Defense Closed, where they sparkle a bit more—winning over half their 11 games in that line.

Never one to give up, goovygoober's tactical awareness shines with a comeback rate of 81%, proving that falling down on the chessboard doesn't mean staying down. Their resilience is legendary, bouncing back more often than not after losing a piece.

Timing matters too! Goovygoober thrives in the midnight hour, boasting a perfect 100% win rate at 12 AM (or maybe they've just played one perfect game then). Early mornings and late nights are when their grooviest plays appear, with a staggering 73% win rate at 7 AM and a solid 66% at 11 PM.

Their style? Patient and enduring, with an average of about 56 moves per win, suggesting they savor long, strategic battles rather than quick smashes. Though they resign early about 7% of the time—which might be their way of keeping the drama minimal.

Notably, goovygoober shines against opponents like madug, firebackflip, and numerous others, scoring crushing 100% win rates, while their most frequent sparring partner, ikkonayafirmansyah, is a slightly tougher rival with a near-even 54% win rate.
