Profile Summary: gupi28
Meet gupi28, a plucky chess warrior whose journey through the realms of rapid, blitz, bullet, and daily chess is nothing short of a rollercoaster with a dash of tactical wizardry and a pinch of amusing missteps.
Since 2020, gupi28 has battled fiercely across the board, showcasing a peak rapid rating of 1121 in late 2021, with notable flashes of brilliance in blitz (peaking at 955) and bullet (peaking at 979) formats. Although rating graphs resemble a sine wave more than a climb to Grandmaster status, this player exemplifies the heart of chess: relentless effort.
What stands out is gupi28's comeback rate of 72.19% — a true phoenix rising from seemingly lost positions, often turning despair into hope. Yet beware: the tilt factor of 9 suggests some emotions might bubble up when the pressure mounts. The best time to challenge gupi28 is around 3 AM, when their tactical senses apparently sharpen under moonlight or perhaps insomnia.

Matches tend to be epic affairs, averaging about 48 moves whether in victory or defeat, hinting at an endurance-based style rather than quick-fire blitzkrieg tactics.
Opening Repertoire Highlights
- Favorite battlegrounds include the King’s Pawn Opening and the Scotch Game, although the Top Secret variation boasts an undefeated 100% win record – quite the mysterious weapon!
- In bullet games, the reliable King’s Pawn Opening combines with the tricky Scandinavian Defense, demonstrating versatility and love for both attack and defense.
- The Philidor Defense and Petrov’s Defense in rapid play reveal a flair for solid, classical setups that lead to sharp, complex battles.
