Profile of Lob5tarBear: The Unpredictable Chess Warrior
Meet Lob5tarBear, a chess player whose style can best be described as a thrilling rollercoaster ride through the 64 squares. With a peak rapid rating of 382 (achieved in May 2025) and a daily rating cresting at 645, Lob5tarBear has carved out a name as a formidable opponent in online arenas.
His games are anything but boring. Known for employing the mysteriously named "Top Secret" opening more than 200 times, Lob5tarBear keeps adversaries guessing with a competitive ~51% win rate in rapid games. He’s also a fan of the Accelerated London System, boasting a perfect 3/3 record there—clearly a secret weapon.
Although origins are a mystery, Lob5tarBear fights fiercely regardless of color: he slightly edges out better results playing Black (46.52% wins) compared to White (43.17%). His games last around 46 moves per win on average, suggesting a patient, strategic outlook with plenty of endgame action (he reaches endgames almost half the time!).
Psychologically, Lob5tarBear has a tilt factor of 9—just enough to keep games spicy but not too fragile under pressure. His greatest superpower? An incredible 71.7% comeback rate after being down, proving he's no quitter and a tenacious fighter to the bitter end.
However, every hero has their kryptonite. His bullet and blitz performances show a bit of a wild side, with win rates under 40%, and an unfortunate 9-game losing streak lurking in recent history. Still, rapid remains his fortress, with almost as many wins as losses (142 wins against 136 losses).
Lob5tarBear’s opponents beware: he’s played against "sirwattman" 7 times and "fauxkie" 5 times, with mixed results, but his victory rate against a long tail of challengers is impressively varied—ranging from perfect wins to some puzzling zeroes. He’s not afraid to experiment and challenge all comers.
