Meet infantriman: The Tactical Gladiator of the Chessboard

Infantriman is a rapidly rising chess player in the realm of rapid chess, charming opponents and confounding spectators all in one go. With a peak rapid rating of 974 reached in March 2025, this player is no stranger to the thrilling rollercoaster of wins and losses that competitive chess brings.

Stats That Tell a Story

Over 524 rapid games, infantriman has battled fiercely to amass 251 wins, endured 259 losses, and drawn 14 with unmatched grit. Known for an exceptional comeback rate of 83.27%, infantriman is the embodiment of persistence—once knocked down, expect a vengeful comeback!

Opening Moves & Strategies

Ever the strategist, infantriman’s favorite battlegrounds are openings like the Reti Opening and Scotch Game, boasting win rates above 55%. The King's Pawn Opening is another reliable weapon with nearly 60% wins.

Not all experiments pay off though—defenses like the Scandinavian and gambits such as the Englund can be a bit more challenging, with win rates dipping below 40%. But hey, even geniuses learn by trial and error!

Psychological Warfare & Playing Style

Psychologically, infantriman’s tilt factor is a modest 9, keeping cool when the pressure mounts. Early resignation is rare (only 2.7%), showing a stubborn refusal to surrender unless all hope is lost. Average moves per win hover around 47, indicating battles that are tactical marathons rather than sprints.

Interestingly, games played at 6 PM are infantriman’s sweet spot, where the winning percentage rockets—possibly fueled by a strategic dinner and mental caffeine.

Epic Tales from the Board

One of infantriman’s recent shining victories was against DragonGod3487, where a brilliant Queen promotion on move 38 sealed a win on time after a hard-fought tussle. Checkmates are their specialty, with 128 wins by checkmate recorded!

While losses feel bitter, the player’s resilience is brilliant. Even after losing key pieces, the win rate after loss of material is a respectable 44.75%, a testament to their tactical awareness and tenacity.

Opponents Beware!

Infantriman has an eclectic mix of rivals—from the perennial gano-siempre and clock_tick to fresh challengers like nabilooo10 (who has yet to witness infantriman’s winning smile).

Beware the comeback kid: infantriman holds a 100% win rate against several opponents and can turn a losing position into a checkmate celebration like a master tactician from a military regiment with infinite reinforcements.

In Summary

Infantriman is not just a player, but a force to reckon with—combining strategic depth, psychological resilience, and a dash of cheeky humor to survive and thrive in the chaotic battlefield of rapid chess. The only question is: when’s the next game? Opponents will want to bring their best, and possibly a spare coffee for what’s bound to be a thrilling ride.

“When the going gets tough, infantriman starts plotting the next queen promotion.”
