Player Profile: ibsthe13
Meet ibsthe13, a chess enthusiast whose journey on the 64 squares is as thrilling as a rollercoaster ride — with all the ups, downs, and occasional loop-de-loops. Starting from humble beginnings with a Rapid rating barely tipping over 100 in late 2021, ibsthe13 has seen a fair share of battles, amassing over 1300 wins in Rapid games alone. If persistence was a piece on the board, they'd have promoted a queen by now!
This player’s Rapid rating peaked impressively at 703 in December 2022, showing a sharp climb through the ranks before settling into a strategic groove around the 500s to 600s. The Blitz and Bullet ratings tell a tale of quick wit and nimble fingers, peaking near 700 and 330 respectively—a clear sign that speed chess is a part of their arsenal, even if Bullet remains their less traveled highway.
Playing Style & Preferences:
With an early resignation rate just shy of 19%, ibsthe13 knows when to fold 'em and when to roll the dice. Their average winning games stretch over 45 moves—patience and endurance clearly in their playbook. The King’s Pawn Opening is their favorite battleground, with nearly 800 games played and a win rate flirting just below 50%. Defensive openings like the Scandinavian Defense seem to bring out their most successful tactical strikes, boasting over 53% win rate.
Strategic moments in endgames happen often enough, with an endgame frequency over 35%, so don’t be surprised if this player likes to drag you into a marathon rather than a sprint. They show remarkable tenacity with a comeback rate of 48%, meaning losing a piece doesn’t mean the game is over—it's merely the opening move in the pursuit of redemption.
Psychological Notes: With a tilt factor of 20, ibsthe13 might have the occasional grumble when the board doesn’t go their way, but hey, even grandmasters aren’t perfect. Their best time to strike is at 11 PM (23:00), so if you get matched up against them late at night, expect a battle full of cunning and possibly little sleep after.
Recent Drama on the Board: In their latest victory, ibsthe13 executed a beautiful checkmate after a strategic assault employing the Pirc Defense, wrapping up a game caught on camera at chess.com with a queen and rook combo that would make any chess fan smile. Unfortunately, not every game ends in glory; a recent loss to Edu10_123 came by a swift checkmate, reminding us that even the boldest warriors meet their match sometimes.
In short, ibsthe13 isn’t just a username but a force on the board—resilient, thoughtful, and occasionally a little bit sassy. An adventure every time they log in, their profile is a testament to the beautiful chaos of chess: a game of king, queen, pawns, and an unquenchable thirst to win.
