Profile Summary for GretaWasHere460

Meet GretaWasHere460, the chess enthusiast who’s been navigating the 64 squares since at least 2023, steadily climbing the rapid rating ladder from a humble 309 to a sparkling peak of 1364! Starting with a rollercoaster ride in early 2023, this player’s rapid rating quickly skyrocketed past 1200 by the end of 2024, proving that persistence (and maybe a bit of stubbornness) pays off on Chess.com.

Greta excels in the rapid format, where more than 1,600 wins speak louder than words – and nearly as many losses keep the journey exciting and humble. Blitz is another favorite battleground, with an impressive peak rating of 1276 achieved as recently as May 2025. Bullet chess? Well, let’s just say Greta’s giving it a shot with a respectable 1062 peak, despite its notoriously unforgiving speed.

Opening a game with boldness and flair, Greta favors defenses with names that spell strategy: Modern Defense, Pirc Defense (and its many flavors), and the ever-classic Queen's Gambit Declined variations. Win rates hover around the 50% mark here, indicating a balanced player who’s ready to outwit opponents armed with less-typical setups.

What’s Greta’s style? A true endgame warrior with 76% endgame frequency, showing patience in battles that often last over 66 moves on average for wins. Early resignations are rare (<1%), not because Greta gives up easily, but perhaps because losing a piece means a tough fight ahead (though comebacks happen nearly 84% of the time!).

Not just numbers and openings, the psychological landscape paints a player who keeps cool under pressure, with a tilt factor of 10 (low enough to not throw the board, high enough to stay human). Interestingly, playing around 9 AM sharp seems to be the sweet spot for peak performance – so set your alarms if you want to catch Greta at their best.
