Chess Journey & Ratings
Honing his craft since at least 2021, Христофор has shown consistent improvement, especially in Rapid and Blitz chess. Starting Rapid with a humble 998 rating, he pushed it up to a max of 1679 in 2022, settling near 1485 in 2023. Blitz is where he shines brightest — from a 812 rating in 2021, he climbed to an impressive peak of 1257 in 2023, playing thousands of games with almost equal wins and losses, showing that he loves a good fight.
Playing Style & Strengths
Despite an occasional early surrender (a low 1.48% early resignation rate), Христофор thrives in the endgame with a remarkable frequency of 73.53%, proving that patience and precision are his allies. With an average of 60 moves per win, he enjoys lengthy strategic battles rather than quick finishes.
His psychological resilience is notable: a comeback rate of 78.33% and an extraordinary 100% win rate after losing a piece. Clearly, Христофор never throws in the towel—and opponents beware: he's got a tilt factor of only 16%, so he's unlikely to crumble under pressure!
Chess Personality
Playing mostly as White gives him a slight edge with a 51.35% win rate, though his Black performance is respectable at 46.01%. He’s the kind of player who, after losing a piece, probably mutters something like, “You think that’s all? Watch this comeback!” And often, he delivers.
Off-the-board, one can imagine Христофор as the witty chess warrior who treats the 64 squares like a playground, occasionally shaking his head at a miscalculation but quickly plotting the next ingenious trap. An infamous longest winning streak of 10 games speaks volumes—he's capable of heating up the board like a grandmaster on caffeine.
