GRITC86

Chess Player Profile: GRITC86

Rating Snapshot: GRITC86 reached their peak rapid rating of 1357 in December 2024 but has experienced a bit of a rollercoaster since, settling around the mid-800s in mid-2025. With a career rapid game count pushing over 800, this player is no stranger to the checkered battlefield.

Playing Style & Personality

Known for an early resignation rate of just 1.43%, GRITC86 is a fighter who prefers to battle until the endgame, which they reach in over 60% of their matches. They tend to play solid, longer games, averaging around 52 moves per win and a grueling 75 moves when the luck’s not on their side. White pieces give them a slight edge (47.25% wins), but black is no easy task either (43.33% wins).

Their comeback rate is a respectable 74.8%, always ready to claw back after a setback—though their win rate after losing a piece sits just under 40%. Expect some epic fights where they push through adversity.

Favorite Openings

GRITC86 loves the Bishop's Opening family, with nearly 150 games played combining various lines. Particularly strong in the Bishop's Opening Boi Variation with a solid 56% win rate, and respectable success in the King's Pawn Opening King's Knight Variation (54%). Not so much of a fan of the Van't Kruijs Opening, where victories slip to just 25%.

Time & Tilt

When it comes to their best time of day, GRITC86 truly shines like a chess evening star at 9 PM with a 100% win rate logged at that hour in the available data—though a small number of games, so take with a grain of salt. Sunday seems to be the luckiest day with a 52.17% win rate.

The tilt factor clocks in at a moderate 7, so GRITC86 might just curse the chess gods when a tactic slips, but they’re not throwing the board in rage just yet.

Record & Rivalries

With 246 wins, 279 losses, and 18 draws in rapid games, the username boasts experience over a spectrum of opponents. While some adversaries like "scofyigor" and "susuvanilla" have been defeated consistently, they’ve had a tougher time against some recent foes including "khantmyathein," "szymon2018s," and "jvasquez19-08," against whom they have yet to score a win.

Most Memorable Matches

• One of their freshest victories came against susuvanilla, where GRITC86’s classic Bishop’s Opening Berlin Defense led to a smooth win after some crafty positional play and timely abandonment by the opponent.
• The sting of defeat is felt in a brutal checkmate loss to khantmyathein via the Bird’s Opening, a reminder that even the toughest endure tough losses.

Fun Facts

• GRITC86’s long streaks boast a maximum of 7 wins or 7 losses in a row, proving the highs are just as intense as the lows.
• Despite sometimes getting outplayed early, they often rally back dramatically, making for entertaining matches to watch (or dread playing against!).

In all, GRITC86 exemplifies the tenacity of a true chess battler—sometimes a cliffhanger, sometimes a consolation-prise underdog, but always ready to jump back into the fray with a bishop, a knight, and plenty of grit.
