Profile: HabitsItIs

Meet HabitsItIs, a blitz and rapid chess enthusiast who battles opponents relentlessly and embraces every twist and turn of the game with a mix of grit and a dash of humor. This player isn’t just about flashy openings but rather the nine-to-five hustle of chess: moderate peaks, scrappy games, and a never-give-up attitude that’s worthy of admiration.

Playing Overview

HabitsItIs boasts a peak blitz rating of 851 (achieved in April 2025) and an even more impressive rapid rating peak at 1095 from the same month – proving quick thinking and fast moves are definitely their thing. While the rating numbers might not scream "grandmaster" (yet), there’s undeniable passion in those 236 blitz games played in May 2025 alone, showing a true love for competition.

Style & Strategy

Known for an average of 66 moves to victory and a solid 56.5% endgame frequency, HabitsItIs clearly enjoys the marathon of chess, grinding down opponents patiently. Their early resignation rate is a humble 6.4%, which means they rarely give up early—unless maybe it’s to make time for a snack break or to fetch coffee.

Among favorite openings, the Italian Game reigns supreme, yielding a respectable 58.6% win rate in blitz, and the King’s Pawn Opening, Kings Knight Variation delivers over 81% wins. Opponents beware: HabitsItIs is more than happy to capitalize on classical lines and grind out wins by smart tactical play.

Tactical Insights & Psychological Prowess

With a striking 79% comeback rate after losing a position, this player embodies the spirit of "never say die" in chess. Even when losing a piece, HabitsItIs manages to come back to win almost half of the time, showing uncanny resilience and the ability to keep opponents on their toes.

While the occasional tilt strikes (rated at a modest 5), it’s nothing dramatic and hasn’t stopped them from performing best in the evenings – their peak hour being 6 PM when the caffeine hits and the brain gears fully engage.

Performance Patterns

Fascinatingly, HabitsItIs tends to hold their own better against lower-rated opponents, boasting nearly an 80% win rate against below-rating rivals. However, the story is different when facing higher-rated adversaries, where winning becomes a tougher quest (only 16.7% victories). Equal-rated battles are a toss-up at exactly 50% win rate, showing the excitement of chess is never far away.

Recent Battles

The most recent win was a masterpiece of patience and forceful checkmate, executed against DIDUKH21 in a rapid game where HabitsItIs’s careful maneuvering left no room for escape. Losses, such as the one to bargbikerness, remind us that even the best have off days—chess is a humbling sport, after all.

Fun Fact

Despite a mixed record, HabitsItIs has a peculiar knack for turning games around and surprises many by clawing back from near defeat, making every game an edge-of-the-seat thriller. It's like watching someone punch above their weight while simultaneously brewing the perfect cup of tea.

In summary, HabitsItIs is a dedicated chess warrior with a playful spirit, steadily improving through countless battles and ready to turn the next game into a legendary saga (or at least, a fun story to tell).
