About marcounzu
Meet marcounzu, a chess adventurer navigating the battlefield with a blend of grit, occasional brilliance, and a touch of chaos.

Rating Rollercoaster & Playing Style
From a peak blitz rating of 624 to some bruising battles that brought it down near 100, marcounzu’s ratings scream “never a dull moment.” Rapid peaked a solid 618, while bullet play reached a respectable 503. With a longest winning streak and losing streak both at 6, marcounzu is no stranger to both the ecstasy of victory and the agony of defeat.
Known for an early resignation rate of 7.3%, perhaps marcounzu is a believer in “choose your battles wisely.” Endgames are not shied away from, with a 37.5% frequency, and wins usually take around 52 moves—plenty of tactical skirmishing. White and black sides are fairly well balanced in success rates, with a slight edge when playing black.
Tactical Awareness & Mindset
With a comeback rate close to 50%, marcounzu loves a good underdog story, often clawing back even after piece losses. However, winning after losing material still hovers just under 30%. A tilt factor of 6 hints at a player who can occasionally get a little frustrated, but never lets it ruin the excitement.
Playing peaks at 11AM, with some surprisingly high win rates at noon and mid-afternoon, it seems mornings are the prime time to challenge marcounzu’s mental fortress. Afternoon battles can bring plenty of excitement—be ready for a fight!
