Marc Campeau - The Tactical Wizard (aka Marky91)
Marc Campeau, fondly known in the chess circles as Marky91, is a player who's shown both resilience and quirks on the 64 squares. His chess journey is sprinkled with moments of brilliance, a dash of early resignations (about 3.5%, because even wizards know when to quit), and a penchant for epic endgames—over 61% of his battles stretch into the late stages where nerve meets skill.
With a peak daily rating of 1372 in 2021, Marc has danced through the ranks, riding a rollercoaster from humble 400s up to respectable 1200s. His blitz and bullet games reveal a spirited competitor with max blitz ratings around 1150 and a bullet peak of 1070—proof that when time ticks down, Marky91’s brain gears up.
Speaking of speed, Marc's average game length shows patience: nearly 59 moves to victory but closer to 64 moves in defeat, demonstrating his fighting spirit even against tough opponents. Truly a comeback artist, he boasts an astonishing 73% comeback rate after falling behind, and a flawless 100% win rate after losing a piece—making him the nightmare opponent who never gives up.
Marc's opening choice is a top secret weapon — literally named “Top Secret” — under which he’s played over 350 games across all time controls with a solid win rate north of 45%. Whether it's daily, blitz, or bullet, Marky91 knows how to unlock mysteries on the board.
His social chess life is colorful, with favorite rivals like “joris_ca” (16 clashes!) and “vietkonga” keeping him on his toes. Notably, Marc has a remarkable 85% win rate against “curkenzi”—perhaps a nemesis-turned-favorite opponent duo. He’s certainly better than his loss count would suggest and takes pride in occasional streaks like his longest winning streak of 7 games.
When it comes to timing, Marc shines brightest in the evenings—his best win rate hits a glowing 80% at 10 PM, and a fantastic 64% at 6 PM—proof that this grandmaster of casual play loves burning the midnight oil. But don't let those stats fool you; he occasionally falls victim to the tilt monster, with a tilt factor of 6 (we all have our days).
Marc Campeau might not be the next world chess champion (yet), but his blend of tactical awareness, tenacity, and a dash of humor makes every game with him a thrilling story. So next time you face Marky91, beware: he may just come back from the brink and give you a run for your money.
