Profile: honestgirll – The Chess Warrior With a Spirited Heart
Meet honestgirll, a relentless chess enthusiast whose journey through the 64 squares is full of thrilling highs, tough losses, and stubborn comebacks. With a peak Rapid rating of 964 achieved in November 2023, they've proven time and time again that patience and strategy can punch above any rating point.
From humble beginnings at a Rapid rating as low as 554 in September 2023 to climbing almost 400 points in just a couple of months, honestgirll’s trajectory resembles a rollercoaster — exhilarating for onlookers and nerve-wracking for opponents! They boast a Longest Winning Streak of 11 games, showing moments of unstoppable momentum, though they’ve also experienced the sting of a 9-game losing streak. (Everyone needs a little drama, right?)
Not just about rating numbers, honestgirll’s style reflects a fighter who values the endgame, reaching it in nearly half their matches (47.12% endgame frequency). Known for an impressive 70.52% comeback rate, if you think they’re down and out after losing a piece, think again — resilience is their middle name. Of course, like any mortal, they sometimes succumb to tilt (9 on the tilt factor scale), but it only adds to the charm.
Opening Arsenal
Adaptability is key in chess, and honestgirll’s choice of openings demonstrates both versatility and a hint of boldness. Their favorite Rapid choice is the Sicilian Defense, where they hold a decent 58.33% win rate over 12 games — not bad for challenging the Dragon’s lair! English Openings in their many flavors are also a specialty, often leading to sweet victories with win rates hovering above 60%.
Blitz and Bullet games reveal a somewhat different personality: lightning-fast decisions with a love for the English Opening Kings English Variation, where they shine with a 90.91% win rate in Blitz. Surprisingly, some openings like the Nimzowitsch Larsen Attack Modern Variation remain Kryptonite with zero wins in Rapid and Bullet — but hey, even the best players have their nemeses.
