Meet grossdino, a rapid chess adventurer whose rating journey resembles a thrilling rollercoaster ride through the kingdom of 64 squares! At peak glory in December 2021, grossdino proudly held a rapid rating of 1247 after a dazzling single game victory—talk about starting with a bang.

Opening Repertoire & Style

Grossdino is no one-trick dino! While suffering some tough breaks with openings like the Bishops Opening and King's Pawn Opening (both 0% win rate, ouch), they've shown flashes of brilliance with the Center Game (100% win rate!) and respectable performances in the Queens Pawn and Italian Game lines (50% success rate). So, if you’re facing grossdino, be ready for a diverse and unpredictable opening arsenal.

Fighting Spirit

Known for a stubborn resilience, grossdino boasts an impressive 57.14% comeback rate after losing material — definitely a player who refuses to roll over! Though the longest losing streak currently stands at a challenging 6, remember, even dinosaurs had rough patches before ruling the earth.

Favorite Battles & Rivals

The arch-nemesis is undoubtedly mixi300, the opponent grossdino has faced 16 times, with a win rate of only 12.5% — tough competition, or perhaps just a pesky thorn in the dino’s chess tail! On the flip side, against some less fearsome foes like a_albu, grossdino boasts a perfect 100% win rate. The moral? Every dino has its preferred playground.
