Profile: gregskooo
The Enigmatic Gambit Enthusiast: gregskooo is a chess player who dances on the 64 squares as unpredictably as a cat chasing a laser pointer. With a peak blitz rating of 279 and a rapid zenith at 636 (achieved in April 2025), gregskooo is an adventurous tactician who isn’t afraid to experiment — sometimes with spectacular success, and other times… well, let’s just say the pieces have their own plans.
Playing Style & Tendencies
Dubbed the "Comeback Kid," gregskooo boasts an impressive comeback rate of nearly 64%, proving that patience and resilience are the true kings of their game. Losing a piece isn’t the end but an exciting plot twist, with a 32% win rate even after material setbacks. On the flip side, their tilt factor of 9 hints at moments where the chessboard emotions spill over — maybe a coffee needed between games?
Early resignation is rare (only about 5%), showing they prefer to fight hard until the bitter end. Their average game length is telling: about 43 moves to victory and 58 when losing, proving gregskooo knows how to stretch a fight or savor a winning advantage.
Opening Quirks
Always ready to surprise, gregskooo’s blitz repertoire includes the Van 't Kruijs Opening, where they are undefeated (100% win rate!). Other openings like the King's Pawn and Bishop’s Opening see more modest results, but hey, who said beginners can’t have fun experimenting? In rapid games, the Queens Pawn Opening’s Chigorin Variation and Undefined openings are favorites, with win rates up to 70% — mystery and strategy live here together.
Battle Record & Rivals
Across blitz and rapid, gregskooo plays with heart: 69 wins, 95 losses, and 11 draws overall. Not afraid of tough competition, they have faced a variety of opponents multiple times, including “robsko02” seven times (with a tough 0% win rate against them — apparently a rival with a personal chess curse).
Some opponents seem to bring out the best in gregskooo, such as “blakrussian” and “gacha02b,” both met recently with glorious victories. Their battlefield motto might just be: “Onward, with willingness to learn… or lose spectacularly!”
Favorite Time & Day
Night owls take note: gregskooo’s best magic happens around 8 PM, boasting a 64% win rate in that hour. Mondays are surprisingly auspicious too, with a 60% win rate, suggesting the start-of-week focus or maybe just the right amount of caffeine. Thursdays could use a bit of luck, with wins down at 12.5%—cue motivational quotes or perhaps a chess guru’s blessing!
Recent Triumphs and Trials
Recently, gregskooo staged a dramatic checkmate victory in rapid play, delivering a final queen promotion flourish that would make even grandmasters nod. Not every battle ends so well; losses by time management errors show the clock can be a merciless foe. But as every chess player knows, each loss is but a stepping stone to future glory.
In short: gregskooo is a spirited competitor with a flair for comeback stories, a taste for unusual openings, and a stack of games that reflect both the thrill of discovery and the heartbreak of defeat. Watch this space; the next big move could be just around the corner!
