Aaron Sun - A Chess Odyssey

Meet Aaron Sun, or as he's known on the battlefield of 64 squares, heydoctorlemmegetaheal. Aaron is not just your everyday chess player; he's a relentless strategist with a penchant for dramatic swings in fortune and an uncanny ability to keep opponents guessing. With a peak blitz rating soaring to 1809 (on a good day, that's practically Grandmaster material in some parallel universe), Aaron is a dash of chaos wrapped in calm calculation.

The Stats Tell The Story

• Peak Ratings: Daily - 1651; Rapid - 1703; Blitz - 1809.
• Total Wins: Daily - 1; Rapid - 14; Blitz - 32.
• Total Losses: Daily - 1; Rapid - 18; Blitz - 52.
• Draws: Daily - 0; Rapid - 2; Blitz - 5.

His playing style might be politely described as “determinedly unpredictable.” He isn't afraid of the long haul — his average moves per win clock in at around 60, showing stamina and patience. But don't be fooled; his comeback rate is a solid 70%, which means even if you think you’ve got him pinned down, Aaron has a few tricks up his sleeve (or perhaps under his hat) to bounce back.

Openings & Secrets

Much like a magician reveals only some of the secrets, Aaron keeps things mysterious with notable performances in "Top Secret" openings, boasting a respectable 57.14% rapid win rate and nearly 44.19% in blitz. Against “Unknown” openings? Well, let’s just say the surprise is mutual, and the win rates hover between 28% and 37%. A true connoisseur of the unexpected.

Good Times, Bad Times

While he has celebrated a glorious 6-game winning streak, Aaron also survived a brutal 8-game losing streak — talk about emotional roller coasters. His tilt factor sits at a modest 8, so when the chips (or pawns) are down, he might mutter something about “chess gods” or perhaps just reach for a coffee before jumping back into the fray.

Time Is On His Side

Preferring the dawn’s early light, Aaron hits his stride best at 7 AM (yes, the crack of dawn), boasting 100% win rates in the early morning hours of 6 and 7 o'clock — proving it’s not just the rooks that wake up early. However, at 11 PM, his win rate dips to zero, possibly because that’s when the cookie jar is most tempting.

Notable Battles

One of Aaron’s most recent memorable victories came against Falkentyne, a tough opponent rated over 2200, where he seized victory by resignation in a tense positional struggle (see the game here). Not bad for a player hovering around the 1600s! Naturally, losses happen too, like his latest defeat by timeout and resignation against various opponents — all part of the growth journey.

Signature Traits

Aaron resigns early about 3% of the time, reflecting a touch of pragmatism. He enjoys endings, playing more than half his games into the endgame, showing an appetite for strategic complexity over quick tactical fireworks. And if he loses a piece, don’t count him out; he fights back with a 33% win rate thereafter, an admirable refusal to yield quietly.

All in all, Aaron Sun is that charming underdog who keeps the chess world interesting — not just because of the winning, but because he plays with fire, flair, and an infectious love for the game. Here’s to many more games, blunders, and brilliant checkmates!
