Player Profile: HoundStylin
Meet HoundStylin, a relentless Rapid player whose rating has been on a rollercoaster ride but always manages to keep things interesting! Starting around 564 in 2024 and climbing up to a max of 1171, HoundStylin has fought through over 1,900 rapid games, proving that persistence (and maybe a sprinkle of stubbornness) is key in the chess world.
With a nearly 50% win rate in rapid and a penchant for the mysterious "Top Secret" opening (which might just be "pawn to surprise"), HoundStylin keeps opponents guessing and on their toes. Bullet and Blitz games are more like a cameo appearance, with just a handful under their belt, but even there, every move counts!
Not one to give up easily, HoundStylin boasts an impressive 71.69% comeback rate, turning losing positions into wins with the grace of a cat (or maybe a hound?). Even after losing a piece, victory is assured—100% win rate in such desperate situations. Clearly, giving up is not in their vocabulary, even if the occasional early resignation sneaks in (4.08% rate—hey, everyone has those "not today" moments).
When it comes to endgames, HoundStylin shines, engaging in long, strategic battles that average about 67 moves to a win—this is not a quick checkmate kind of player! The tilt factor is moderate at 17, suggesting any frustration is fleeting and probably expressed by an extra loud bark or two.
Time-wise, HoundStylin prefers late-night skirmishes with a fairly solid win rate around 51% between 11 PM and midnight. Early mornings? Not so much (8 AM win rate sits stubbornly at 0%), probably because beauty sleep is more important than waking up to castle early.
Facing many opponents multiple times, including top rivals like sebastianbellingham and hectorgilmartin3gmailco, HoundStylin keeps the scoreboard mixed but competitive, a true testament to endurance and adaptability.
A Player Who's More Than Just Numbers
Underneath all the stats is someone who plays chess not just to win, but to have fun—because sometimes a hound has to stylin' on the board just to remind everyone that chess is as much about personality as it is about pawns. Whether it’s shocking a favorite opponent or grinding out a lengthy endgame, HoundStylin is definitely a player to watch.
