Meet HossSome: The Rollercoaster Rapid Ruler
HossSome is a chess enthusiast whose journey through the 64 squares is nothing short of an adventure — complete with thrilling peaks, puzzling valleys, and moments that will leave you chuckling.
Rating Rollercoaster 🎢
Starting 2024 with a blazing Rapid rating high of 438, HossSome’s rapid games have seen a swinging pendulum of results, averaging around 280-ish as of mid-2025. While not your typical grandmaster number, these ratings reflect a player who's never shy of a challenge — or a comeback. Speaking of which, a remarkable 54.27% comeback rate means HossSome refuses to throw in the towel easily.
The Opening Gambit 🏁
With a fondness for eclectic and sometimes quirky openings, HossSome’s rapid repertoire features gems like the Mieses Opening (win rate ~37%) and the Reti Opening, where HossSome shines bright with a win rate north of 61%. It’s a style that says, “Why stick to boring when you can surprise?”
Playing Style: Brave and Slightly Moody
Expect long battles here — average games tend to stretch over 50 moves for wins, and almost 47 moves in losses. HossSome has a penchant for the endgame, featuring there almost half of their games, but beware: early resignations creep in about 11.4% of the time. The psychological mood swings are real too, with a moderate tilt factor of 12, meaning mistakes can sneak in when the nerves hit.
Moments to Remember
- Longest Winning Streak: 7 games — impressive for keeping the chess gods pleased!
- Toughest Losing Streak: 12 games — because every hero needs a training montage.
- Best time to play: Noon sharp! Evidenced by a perfect 100% win rate at 10 AM and 12 PM. Who said chess players don’t like lunch breaks?
On the Battlefield
HossSome’s most recent victory came on May 25, 2025, against “withoutfame”, ending with a slick win after a tense French Defense skirmish. Sadly, the day after, the mighty “TonytheGreatt” delivered a checkmate, reminding us all that even HossSome isn’t immune to the wrath of the chess titans.
Opponent Highlights
HossSome has a love-hate relationship with opponents — winning 100% against some like “withoutfame” and “marco244777”, while others such as “drlemon44” are still a mystery (0% win rate!). This selective triumph suggests a ninja-like focus against favorite rivals, but perhaps a touch of overconfidence or distraction against some others.
Daily and Blitz Adventures
In the daily format, HossSome once reached an impressive 688 rating, showing their deep strategic patience. Blitz and bullet may be less kind though; with only 3 rapid blitz games logged and a tough 0 wins, it appears HossSome prefers to take the scenic, slower route over a furious sprint.
In Summary
HossSome is a resilient rapid player with a quirky style, capable of dazzling strategic coups and sometimes surprise losses. Whether pulling off a late comeback or bowing out early (sometimes at their own discretion), they play chess with passion — and a hint of humor that keeps the game exciting for all spectators.
Keep an eye on HossSome; the rollercoaster ride is far from over.
