inssmo: The Blitz Battler and Rapid Raconteur

Meet inssmo, a chess player who embodies the rollercoaster spirit of the game with a rating journey that’s a bit like a suspense thriller. With a peak rapid rating of 528 achieved in February 2025, and a top blitz score of 297, they’re no stranger to both dazzling wins and humbling defeats.

Playing Style & Strengths

Known for an endgame frequency of 68.33%, inssmo is a patient strategist who’s willing to battle it out long rather than quake in early resignations (only 6.45% early quits).

Games tend to be protracted affairs — average moves per win hover around 67, proving their endurance and tactical persistence on the board.

Opening Repertoire

Opening vault reveals a fondness for classical and tricky lines alike:

• Dutch Defense: Their secret weapon in rapid games — rocking a smashing 75% win rate out of 4 attempts.
• Alekhine's Defense: A perfect 100% win rate in a defensive masterclass.
• King's Pawn Opening (Leonardis Variation): A reliable friend with two-thirds victories.
• Occasional flair with the Englund Gambit and Birds Opening suggest a player who loves to mix it up and surprise opponents.

On blitz chess, however, the Sicilian Defense seems to be a nemesis, marred by a 0% win rate—maybe some barriers are just speed bumps for future improvement.

Competitive Record & Rivalries

With 24 wins, 31 losses, and 5 draws in rapid, and a blitz struggle showing (2 wins, 10 losses), the chess battlefield is one of fierce resolve and learning curves. The longest winning streak is a neat 4 games, matched equally by a challenging 4-game losing streak, indicating a player who knows both sweet taste of victory and the bitter sting of defeat.

The top rival has been benharden26 with 18 encounters — battle tested with a 33% win rate, so it’s safe to say their rivalry is a tug-of-war worthy of chess legends... or at least friendly banter.

Tactical and Psychological Traits

Combacks? Absolutely — a stellar 79.17% comeback rate proves that inssmo is not a quitter and rarely stays down even after losing a piece. Still, winning after material loss is a modest 35.85% — a reminder that chess is a game as much about resilience as about material wizardry.

With a tilt factor of 4 (on an unspecified scale), inssmo keeps calm enough not to be a keyboard-smashing menace. Best time to face this gladiator? Around 9 AM, when their win rate hits 100% — early birds really do catch the chess worm!

Recent Memorable Battles

inssmo’s last victories have been dramatic checkmate finishes, often squeezing the final point in under 30 moves. For example, a crushing win using the Sicilian Defense saw white’s relentless pressure seal the deal with a fiery Rd7#.

Losses occasionally come by game abandonments or timeouts but also reveal a player experimenting and pushing boundaries. With all the grit and persistence shown, inssmo’s story is one of a resilient player with a flair for the dramatic finish.

Summary

All in all, inssmo is a dynamic and spirited competitor, blending solid strategic foundations with moments of pure tactical genius. Not afraid to take risks, sometimes it pays off handsomely, sometimes it results in a spectacular crash, but hey — that’s what makes watching (and playing) with inssmo so entertaining!
