Profile Summary: Guitwo1208

Meet Guitwo1208, a fierce chess enthusiast who dances across the board with a style part mystery, part calculated chaos. Rated impressively in various formats—peaking at a blazing 905 in Daily chess, a respectable 413 in Blitz, and a solid 363 in Bullet—Guitwo1208’s chess journey is nothing short of a thrilling rollercoaster ride.

With nearly 400 bullet games under their belt and a win rate holding just above 50% against all comers, this player balances grit and wit. Their favorite opening? The cryptic Top Secret line—used in over 340 Bullet games—proving that sometimes, keeping your cards close to your chest is the best tactic. Other fan favorites include the Petrovs Defense and the flawless Four Knights Game Spanish Variation, boasting a perfect 100% win record in Bullet!

Not afraid to play the clock game, Guitwo1208 has racked up a whopping 255 wins via timeout, a true testament to their patience and endurance when the heat is on. Their longest winning streak is a solid 7 games, though they've also endured some tough stretches with an equally long losing streak—proof that even the best have off days (or weeks).

Style and Psychology

A calculated risk-taker, Guitwo1208 averages around 52 moves per game, never rushing to early resignation, opting instead to squeeze every last drop of juice from the endgame. They have an impressive comeback rate of over 80%, showing resilience when the tide turns against them, and a low tilt factor, meaning they keep calm and carry on even after brutal losses.

Morning birds rejoice! This player’s best time to crush opponents is unexpectedly early—around 5 AM—when the chess gods favor their moves. Fun fact: they even hold perfect win rates at the odd "5 AM" and "midnight" hours, proving that sleep is overrated when checkmates await.

Recent Highlights

Some of Guitwo1208’s freshest victories include a brutal checkmate against FRFireFly using the Bishops Opening, where a sneaky knight fork sealed the deal, and a resignation win against Big10777 in a Three Knights Opening tussle. Losses, of course, come with the territory, but Guitwo1208 fights hard until the last move, often taking games deep into the endgame.

Overall, whether it’s a lightning bullet game or a drawn-out daily battle, Guitwo1208’s blend of secret weapons and relentless spirit makes them a memorable and formidable opponent on any board.

Hi Guitwo1208 — keep up the fighting spirit!

What you’re already doing well

  • Aggressive play-style. You aren’t afraid to push pawns or sacrifice material to open lines (see your wins vs tammistaja and Bronc08).
  • Spotting tactical shots. 20…Qxf2# against tammistaja and 11…Qf6! in the Italian show you can pounce on loose kings.
  • End-game willingness. Against Popov2024 you converted a rook ending by trading into a won pawn race — excellent practical decision-making.

Main improvement areas

  1. King safety comes first. In several defeats (Helens1973, prosaprisa) your own pawn storms left your king exposed. Castle by move 10 whenever possible and avoid advancing the f-, g- and h-pawns until your pieces are developed.
  2. Follow opening basics.
    • Develop minor pieces before moving the queen.
    • Occupy the centre with pawns (e4/d4 or …e5/…d5) not side pawns like …a6, …h5 unless you have a reason.
    • Only launch pawn attacks once your rooks are connected.
    Sticking to these rules would have prevented 2…Qf6?! and early …g5 in the quick loss to Helens1973.
  3. Blunder check habit. Losses to RunAway1996 and prosaprisa featured unprotected pieces. Before every move run through “Checks, Captures, Threats” for both sides.
  4. Time management. Two recent games were lost on the clock. Try a slower time-control (10 | 5) for training. Spend extra time on critical positions, but make all recaptures quickly.
  5. Basic end-game technique. Drill king-and-rook/queen mates until you can finish them in under 40 seconds; this saves time and confidence when you’re winning.

One-week training plan

ThemeDaily task
Opening principlesWatch one short video or article and summarise the 3 key points in a notebook.
Tactics20 rated puzzles; pause 30 sec to understand every miss.
End-gamesPlay K+Q vs K, then K+R vs K against the computer until you can mate within 40 sec.
Game reviewRight after each game, spend 5 minutes marking the turning point.

Simple opening repertoire to stabilise

  • As White: London System — 1.d4 2.Nf3 3.Bf4. Minimal theory, solid king safety.
  • As Black vs 1.e4: the Caro-Kann (1…c6). You already beat Giannier with it; learn the first six moves so you reach a comfortable middlegame.

Illustrative moment

From your daily win vs Popov2024:


You correctly simplified into a winning rook-and-pawn ending. Keep looking for such transitions when you’re ahead.
