GothamChessFan8: The Unpredictable Chess Aficionado
Meet GothamChessFan8, a chess enthusiast who dances gracefully between hope and reality on the online 64-square battlefield. With a penchant for blitz, rapid, and bullet, this player has navigated the tumultuous waves of chess ratings with a flair that’s part heroic, part “let’s try again.”
Rating Rollercoaster
Starting in 2023 with blitz ratings flirting around the mid-700s, GothamChessFan8’s journey saw a hopeful peak in early 2024 hitting an 853 max, only to tumble down to 534 by 2025 in blitz. But don't be fooled—rapid games tell a brighter story with a current rating soaring at a respectable 902, and bullet shots landing solidly at 689.
Playing Style & Strengths
With a sturdy 53% (and climbing) win rate in rapid games and over 56% in bullet, GothamChessFan8 clearly prefers lightning-fast decisions. An early resignation rate of just over 8% reveals a stubborn streak; this player doesn’t bow out without a fight! The average winning game length (~65 moves) hints at patience and endurance, while the shorter average loss (~42 moves) might mean when things go south, they go south quickly.
Tactical Brilliance & Psychological Profile
Known for a jaw-dropping 100% win rate after losing a piece, GothamChessFan8 refuses to quit and thrives in comeback scenarios, boasting an 83% comeback rate. Even when the chips are down, the tenacity shines. However, a tilt factor of 8 means sometimes the emotions get the best of them—but hey, who doesn’t get a little salty when the queen takes a surprise vacation?
Favorite Openings & Opponents
A mysterious “Top Secret” opening is GothamChessFan8’s weapon of choice across all time controls, delivering win rates ranging from 49% to an impressive 56%. In the unofficial “most-played” opponent league, the player edges out victories against frequent sparring partners with moderate success—55.56% against botli1 and a mixed bag vs. others.
When the Clock Ticks
Our hero’s best performance hours seem surprisingly early morning and late evening, clocking peak win rates above 60% from 6 AM to 9 AM, and an evening high at 9 PM reaching nearly 69%. Clearly, GothamChessFan8 is both a sunrise strategist and a night owl tactician.
