Profile Summary: listen-to

Meet listen-to, a chess warrior navigating the battlefield one bullet and rapid game at a time. With a peak bullet rating of 473 achieved in April 2025 and a rapid highlight of 701 back in March 2025, listen-to shows flashes of brilliance even if the rating graph looks like a rollercoaster designed by a chaotic chess muse.

Always in motion with over a thousand bullet games played recently, this player fights fiercely — winning roughly as much as losing, with a current bullet record hovering near balance at 756 wins against 836 losses. Their rapid stats tell a similar story, with moments of glory among 203 wins and 228 losses. But let’s be honest: It’s not about the numbers, it’s about the heart — and listen-to’s heart beats for chess.

Playing Style & Personality

Ever the strategist, listen-to isn’t shy about early resignations (kick the losses to the curb!) with a 15.88% early resignation rate, but when the endgame arrives, they're ready for about 40% of their games. Precision counts with an average of nearly 55 moves per win— patience is a virtue, after all.

Favorite openings? The Scandinavian Defense and its variations seem to be their trusty companions, fought in hundreds of games with a win rate just shy of 45% to 61% depending on the variation— not bad for a daring approach! Also admired are the Queen’s Pawn and some less trodden roads like the Nimzowitsch Defense Kennedy Linksspringer Variation, boasting over 59% wins in bullet games. Clearly, listen-to loves a challenge and a bit of variety.

Tactical Brilliance & Psychological Facets

Comback kid alert! Listen-to has flipped the tables with an impressive 64.23% comeback rate after losing — Houdini would be proud. Though dropping pieces is never fun, they manage to win about 42.42% of those scrappy battles. However, sometimes the loss is one-sided (about 25% of the time), reminding us that even heroes have off days.

A tilt factor of 15% means listen-to gets a little frustrated here and there—nothing wrong with passionate battle cries over the board. The best time to catch them channeling their inner grandmaster? Midnight, where the stars align and the mind sharpens to a winning edge.

Recent Chess Adventures

Just in: listen-to defeated Kappi97 with a classic Center Game where resignation sealed the victory after a well-fought skirmish on June 2, 2025. The game was a rollercoaster of moves and counterattacks, showcasing listen-to’s knack for slowly squeezing the opponent into submission. Yet, not every battle was won; a recent loss came at the hands of MuhammedDemir2306, who capitalized on time pressure in a Nimzowitsch Defense clash.

Social & Opponent Insights

listen-to’s opponent list reads like a who’s who of online challengers. Some opponents like kappi97, gama234sui, and resaabas bear the brunt of listen-to's triumphs, boasting a clean 100% win rate against them. Others, however, are their kryptonite— don’t tell muhammeddemir2306 — currently owning a 0% win rate for listen-to.

The Verdict

Far from being a grandmaster prodigy, listen-to is the relatable underdog of online chess. With fiery passion, unpredictable swings, and a touch of tactical magic, this player brings enthusiasm and dedication to every match. Whether sacrificing pawns or making desperate comebacks, listen-to reminds us that chess is as much about heart as it is about skill — and hey, sometimes you gotta resign early just to avoid further embarrassment!
