Granisimo

Player Profile: Granisimo

Meet Granisimo, a tenacious chess warrior whose rating graph looks like a roller coaster at a theme park – thrilling ups to a peak Rapid rating of 562 back in October 2024, followed by daring descents, and steady climbs. With a blitz peak rating of 274, Granisimo proves that rapid-fire decisions are possible, but not always perfect.

Playing largely in Rapid games, Granisimo has played over 110 matches, winning 50 and losing 62, occasionally embracing draws (just 4 so far). The player’s resilience shines through a comeback rate of nearly 55%, often finding creative ways to bounce back even after losing a piece or two, though the tilt factor indicates a modest 6% chance of frustration setting in – understandable when the queen is lurking ominously nearby.

Granisimo's favorite openings reveal a personality: the Bishop's Opening is their shining jewel, boasting an impressive 80% win rate in Rapid – clearly this is where tricks and traps abound to delight both player and spectators. The King's Pawn Opening, somewhat like a trusty old friend, is employed frequently with mixed success (win rate around 37%). The player also isn’t afraid to dive into the wild territory of the Undefined openings, winning all 3 games tried there – mystery is their playground.

Known for quick, decisive finishes, Granisimo’s games typically end after about 34 moves when victorious, but can drag up to nearly 47 moves before loss – suggesting a fighting spirit that refuses to quit early. Early resignations happen about 20% of the time, a polite way of saying, “I see when the ship is sinking!”

Time-wise, Granisimo performs best around 4 PM, with a particularly fierce win rate of over 83% at that hour – apparently, the afternoon tea brings more than just caffeine. Sundays and Thursdays are also highlight days with win rates above 50%. Evenings at 9 PM are solidly above 50%, perfect for late-night brain battles.

Granisimo's recent triumphs include a swift checkmate victory against lvdb68, brilliantly concluding a Queen’s Pawn Opening Chigorin Variation with a neat checkmate. But not all days end in glory; their toughest recent defeat came at the hands of dkyroner16, who outmaneuvered Granisimo in a chess duel full of twists and tactical turns.

When facing opponents, Granisimo seems to have an uncanny knack for dominating many rivals – boasting 100% win records against several challengers including "cujoxulu777" and "tassiecat". Though not invincible, Granisimo battles on with style, willingness to experiment, and a contagious fighting spirit.

Always ready to take risks and embrace both the sweet victories and the bitter defeats, Granisimo reminds us that chess is not just about ratings but about the adventure on 64 squares. Whether in rapid or blitz, the next game promises to be anything but boring.
