Chess Player Profile: hubbriard

Meet hubbriard, a relentless chess warrior with a knack for turning the tide and a stubborn streak that refuses to quit. Known for an impressive comeback rate of over 67%, this player has mastered the art of clawing back from the brink of defeat—because losing gracefully is simply not their style.

Starting from humble beginnings with a Blitz rating barely escaping the "beginner" territory in late 2022, hubbriard skyrocketed to a peak Blitz rating of 851 in November 2024. Their Daily rating reached a stunning 1003 at the start of October 2024, proving that they are a force to be reckoned with even in long, contemplative games.

Not one to be pigeonholed, hubbriard prefers the rapid pace of Rapid time controls, where tactical prowess and quick thinking shine. With an average of 56 moves to victory, opponent games can be a drawn-out drama or a sudden checkmate shock—they never quite know which until it's too late.

When it comes to openings, hubbriard favors a variety of classic and tricky lines. From the King's Pawn Opening with the King's Knight Variation (just shy of a 50% win rate in Blitz) to the trusty Berlin Defense and the delightfully unpredictable Scandinavian Defense, this player's repertoire is as eclectic as their game count is large. Oh, and beware their Englund Gambit in Bullet games—an unexpected weapon with a scary 50%+ success rate!
