Rating Rollercoaster 🎢

Opening Gambits and Favorite Battles ⚔️

Marifin96 likes to keep opponents guessing but clearly has favorites. In Blitz, the French Defense is their shining star with an impressive win rate of over 84%, proving that when this opening comes out, opponents better brace for a tough fight. Their Van ’t Kruijs Opening also brings home wins more than half the time.

Rapid games tell a slightly different story. The King's Pawn Opening Tortoise Variation is a secret weapon boasting an astounding 87.5% win rate. Opponents beware: slow and steady sometimes wins the race, especially if it’s tortoises on chessboards!

Psychological Warfare and Playing Style 🧠

With a tilt factor of 8%, marifin96 keeps their cool fairly well – they don’t rage quit at every loss, but do possess a healthy competitive fire. The best time to challenge them is around 17:00, when their winning streaks and concentration hit a peak. They tend to resign early in about 7% of games, which might be interpreted as polite manners or strategic mercy.

Their average moves per win hover close to 49, meaning marifin96 enjoys a good, thoughtful game rather than lightning-fast finales. This player is no stranger to thrilling comebacks either, crediting a comeback rate near 68% – proving that giving up is not in their vocabulary.

Fun Fact

While marifin96’s tactical awareness is solid – winning over a third of the time even after losing a piece – the true magic is their resilience and willingness to tangle in the endgame, which happens nearly half the time.
