Profile Summary: marios1123
Meet marios1123, a rapid-fire chess aficionado who prefers the adrenaline rush of the Rapid time control but dabbles cautiously in Blitz, Bullet, and the occasional Daily game (because who doesn’t need variety?). With a peak Rapid rating of 497 and a Blitz peak matching that number, marios1123 shows flashes of brilliance on the 64 squares—especially when the clock ticks down!
Born out of countless battles on Chess.com, marios1123 has logged a hefty 233 wins in Rapid games, navigating an aggressive style that sometimes leads to early resignations (30.63% resignation rate, to be exact). But hey, it's all part of the charm! With an average of around 47 moves per win, these are fights that tend to stretch out—strategic slugfests that require patience, nerves of steel, and maybe a little coffee (or three).
Opening enthusiasts please take note: marios1123 loves the King’s Pawn Opening, with nearly 85 games on record and a respectable 52.94% win rate. The Van 't Kruijs Opening is a hidden gem in the repertoire, boasting an impressive 70% success rate—clearly a move to watch out for. On the flipside, the Scandinavian Defense isn’t where marios1123 shines, struggling to catch a break with only a 33.33% win rate in Rapid.
Psychologically, marios1123’s tactical resilience is admirable — a comeback rate of 64.45% shows a fighter who refuses to quit, even after losing key pieces. The toughest days are Mondays, when this player hits a nice 64% win rate, so beware scheduling challenges then. Peak concentration strikes around 14:00 hours, perfect timing to challenge for victory while others are just waking up.
When it comes to rivals, nikosmitrokostas has shared many intense games—43 encounters in total with marios1123 winning nearly 63%. But don’t let that fool you, marios1123 humbly acknowledges good challenges and holds a near-perfect 100% win record against plenty of players with less than a handful of games.
