Chess Player Profile: Mark-WB

Meet Mark-WB, a spirited chess enthusiast navigating the battlefields of rapid and daily chess with a humble yet tenacious grip on the 700-1300 rating range. Mark’s journey through 2025 has been a rollercoaster of wins, losses, and the occasional stalemate, showing off a fighting spirit as persistent as a knight on a crowded board.

Rating & Performance

April 2025 marked the peak of Mark's rapid rating at 1282, a sign of his potential when inspiration strikes. Daily rating peaked just shy at 1277, proving he’s no stranger to consistent, tactical gameplay. Sure, the numbers could use a little polish, but every loss is just a sneaky fork waiting to happen.

Playing Style & Strategy

Mark is not your run-of-the-mill chess player. With an 80% comeback rate and an average of 68 moves per win, endurance is key to his game, like a chess marathon runner fueled by sheer stubbornness and caffeine. Early resignation is rare (a mere 3.33% rate), proving he prefers battle to surrender.

Preferring openings like the Three Knights Opening with a respectable 55.56% win rate and cutting teeth in the Four Knights Game (Spanish Variation), Mark clearly enjoys classical setups but also isn’t afraid to tango with less forgiving defenses, even if the Scandinavian likes to hand him a few losses.

Psychological Quirks

Mark’s tilt factor sits at a modest 10%, so when the going gets tough, the tough mostly keep their cool—most of the time. His best tactical window is surprisingly early in the morning around 4 AM, when the world is quiet and pawns seem to obey his every command.

Notable Stats & Highlights

• Longest winning streak: 4 games, proving Mark can go on a casual tear when the stars align.
• Longest losing streak: 10 games, reminding us all that even champions have their off days (or weeks).
• Win rates shine on Tuesdays at an impressive 50%, and good luck facing him at 5 PM or 4 AM hours — these are when Mark’s tactical awareness spikes.
• Tends to perform better when rated below his opponents, snagging wins 72.73% of the time — the underdog story in every game.
• White pieces wield a slightly better success rate (40.82%) compared to black (30.61%).

Recent Battles & Victories

Mark-WB's most recent triumph was no mere check, but a deft checkmate victory over KonstantinosZacharia using the Four Knights Game with a stylish execution of tactical pressure and pinning down the king. It was a game that eloquently showcased Mark’s ability to bounce back and finish strong.

His defeats, while numerous, are a testament to a player fearlessly testing various openings — from the Italian Game Knight Attack to the Scandinavian Defense — with a hero’s heart, knowing every loss is an investment in future victory.

In Conclusion

Mark-WB might not be the chess world's next grandmaster (yet), but with a quirky knack for comebacks and a liking for classical openings, he’s an entertaining and determined competitor. Whether it’s early hours or prime time, Mark is ready to put his knights and bishops on the line — and maybe, just maybe, catch you in a trap you never saw coming.
