Player Biography: maricalll
Meet maricalll, a spirited chess enthusiast whose journey through the 64 squares is as colorful as it is unpredictable. With a peak blitz rating soaring to 1782, maricalll has experienced the rollercoaster of online chess — from nail-biting victories to epic losing streaks (apparently, the longest one reached 20 games... yikes!).
Playing Style & Strengths
Known for an adventurous approach, maricalll shows a penchant for openings like the French Defense Steinitz Attack where they boast a mighty 75% win rate. A fan of the Scandinavian Defense and its quirky Mieses-Kotrc Variation, maricalll isn't afraid to dive into the deep end — although those battles are surely fought with mixed results (22.58% win rate there). It's safe to say they embrace complexity and don’t shy away from unpredictability.
Tactical awareness is strong with a comeback rate near 75%, meaning when the going gets tough, maricalll gets tougher. A 9.9% early resignation rate suggests they're not scared to cut their losses and try again — probably to come back stronger next time.

Bullet might be the initial love, but the heart truly beats for blitz where maricalll has played over 300 games this year alone. Their rapid games are fewer but fought with similar intensity.

Ladies and Gentlemen, The Opponents
Facing a colorful cast of challengers — from friends fatih-gne-s (a slightly favorable 57% win rate) to the unlucky p00pmania who seems to have cracked maricalll’s code (0% win rate). Interestingly, maricalll's record against headhunchski and kswia0 is a perfect 100% — maybe they have a lucky cookie for those clashes.
Best Moments & Recent Drama
Among the latest triumphs is a beautifully executed checkmate using the French Defense Steinitz Attack (the kind of game where you can literally hear the crowd roar). But beware, for every sweet victory, there's a sharp loss, like the brutal beatdown at the hands of p00pmania with a Scandinavian Defense Closed — a reminder that chess is a cruel mistress.
