Player Profile: maki047

Meet maki047, a rapid chess enthusiast whose journey on the board resembles a rollercoaster ride — full of thrilling ups, unexpected downs, and entertaining detours. With a peak rapid rating that once soared to an impressive 333 in September 2024, maki047 is certainly no stranger to dazzling tactical fireworks, even if the rating graph sometimes looks like a game of snakes and ladders.

This player has a penchant for rapid games, having engaged in nearly 300 battles with a win-loss-draw record of 207-252-48 — proof that persistence is key, and that sometimes you're the pawn, sometimes the queen! Daily games add some spice too, including a perfect 1-0 peak rating moment at 776 peppered by the occasional tough loss.

Playing Style & Tendencies

  • Comeback Artist: maki047 is not one to give up easily, boasting a remarkable 67.31% comeback rate after facing adversity.
  • Tactical Mojo: Even when losing a piece, this player keeps fighting with a 33.65% win rate after such setbacks — reminding foes that resilience trumps material.
  • Early Resignations: Only about 10% of games end early, suggesting maki047 prefers to battle it out rather than throw in the towel prematurely.
  • Endgame Engagement: Over half the games (about 51%) reach the endgame, where maki047 shines (or struggles) in those critical moments.

Favorite Openings

Experimental and diverse describe maki047’s opening repertoire:

  • Queen’s Pawn Opening: A solid choice with about 56.25% win rate — clearly a comfort zone where maki047 flexes creativity.
  • King’s Pawn Opening: The classic with a twist, though the win rate here dips to a modest 34.33%. Clearly, a battleground for learning and adventure.
  • Alekhine’s Defense and Englund Gambit: Both yielding nearly even records around 50-55% win rates — the perfect mix of tricky and unpredictable!

Performance by Day & Hour

Turns out, maki047’s chess prowess is not just about pieces and pawns but when and how they play:

  • Best Days: Fridays are magic, with a solid 48.65% win rate — the perfect pre-weekend form!
  • Best Hour: The crack of dawn genius emerges at 7:00 AM, where maki047 boasts a perfect 100% win rate. Early bird definitely catches the rook!

Recent Battles

The latest epic victory came on June 5th, 2025, where maki047 skillfully forced sreddy1103 to resign after a tactical melee in the King's Pawn Opening, Kings Knight Variation. Solid patience and tactical sharpness were on full display — you can almost hear the pieces whisper: “Checkmate is near!”
On the other hand, losses to opponents like WantedmanOwl remind us that even the best of us can get skittled early — this time by a quick strike in the King's Pawn Opening, leaving maki047 hungry for revenge.

Quirky Stats & Fun Facts

  • Longest Winning Streak: 5 games — enough to believe “Today’s the day!”
  • Longest Losing Streak: 8 games — proof of the patience to bounce back after even the darkest storm.
  • Favorite Weapon: The Queen’s Pawn Opening, controlling the board and hearts with their elegant pawn pushes.
  • Psychological Tilt Factor: A modest 8 — maki047 keeps calm like a Zen master, unless the coffee kicks in too late.

Hi maki047! 👋 Great job playing lots of games and collecting wins – practice is the fastest way to improve. Here are some observations and suggestions drawn from your most recent results.

1. Opening Phase ‑ stick to the fundamentals

  • Early-queen adventures hurt more than they help. In both recent losses (Qg4? vs WantedmanOwl and Qh5/Qxe5+ vs ccchebrec) your queen was chased and finally trapped or cost huge tempo. Try delaying your first queen move until after you have developed two minor pieces and castled.
  • Develop pieces, then pawn storms. You clearly enjoy pawn thrusts like h4–h5 or g-pawns to open lines. That works best after your king is safe. Aim for this move order in most games:
    1. Control the centre with e4/d4 or …e5/…d5.
    2. Develop knights before bishops.
    3. Castle.
    4. Only then launch flank pawns.
  • Pick one “study” opening each side.
    • As White: Try the simple Italian Game (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4) – it teaches classical piece placement.
    • As Black vs 1.e4: Start with the Scotch Four Knights set-up (…e5, …Nc6, …Nf6, …Bc5/Bb4).
    • Commit to them for 50-100 games to build pattern memory.

2. Tactical Awareness – “no hanging pieces” drill

All six quick losses in the sample came from an unprotected major piece or simple fork.

  • Blunder-check habit: Before every move, ask “What is my opponent threatening? What will be left en prise after my move?” Make it a verbal routine.
  • Daily puzzles: 10–15 minutes of tactics per day will raise your calculation speed. Focus on Basic Pins, Forks, Double-Attack.
  • Try the “two-move look-ahead” exercise: each turn, force yourself to visualise at least two plies deep.

3. King Safety & Endings

  • Several opponents resigned against you because their king was caught in the centre after your pawn storms (see last win below). Great instinct! Now apply the same pressure to your own king – castle early so you don’t become the target.
  • When queens come off, shift mindset: activate king, improve remaining pieces, push passed pawns. In the loss to Tahitimahori, you stayed in “attack mode” instead of consolidating; Black reached a winning endgame.

4. Annotated snapshot – what went well

Here’s the critical stretch from your latest win against sreddy1103:

  • You seized the g-file and kept forcing moves – excellent.
  • Notice how every tempo counted. The rook lift ...Rh3 and later ...Bxf1 removed defenders before you grabbed material.

Try to reproduce this forcing-move chain mindset in quieter positions too.

6. Quick reference goals for the next 30 games

  1. Zero games where your queen moves before move 5.
  2. Castle by move 10 in ≥80 % of games.
  3. Average ≤1 blunder (piece given away) per game – review each game until you understand every blunder.

Keep enjoying the game and experimenting, but anchor your creativity on solid fundamentals. Good luck, and see you at your next peak: 333 (2024-09-06)!
