Profile Summary: matinplay

Meet matinplay, a Rapid lover and chess adventurer whose rating tells a tale of both heroic victories and humbling defeats. With a peak Rapid rating soaring up to 630 in May 2025, matinplay has proven that persistence and tactical bravado can lead to dazzling highs.

Specializing in Rapid chess, matinplay has battled through nearly 300 Rapid games this year alone, clinching 139 wins out of 265 decisions. Not bad for a player who occasionally enjoys the thrill of a comeback (a whopping 69.41% comeback rate!) or gracefully accepting defeat (hint: 13.97% early resignations might be a secret weapon to conserve time and sanity).

If you think matinplay is just a one-trick pony, think again. Blitz and Bullet games are also part of this player’s arsenal, with blitz peak ratings at 431 and a bullet peak of 507. But the daily grind has true patience on display – steady and almost stoic with a max rating of 400.

Opening Repertoires & Chess Flavor

An aficionado of the King's Pawn Opening, matinplay showcases solid attacking prowess, highlighted by a respectable 65.22% win rate in Rapid with the opening. The Vienna Game and Scotch Game also make regular appearances, as does the intriguing Scandinavian Defense which seems to be a "love-hate" relationship with a 45% win rate.

Faster time controls reveal an adventurous streak towards the Pirc Defense and the ever-mischievous Van't Kruijs Opening. Even the "Undefined" openings in Blitz boast a perfect 100% win rate! We can only imagine the creative chaos brewing on those chessboards.

Battle Stories & Famous Opponents

Matinplay’s combat log reads like a saga: winning by resignation, decisive checkmates, and even games abandoned when victory was clear as day. The most recent gems include a swift resignation victory against Raybersin and a memorable checkmate over kikimgr, proving that matinplay’s tactical wizardry refuses to cool down.

Psychological edge? The best time of day to challenge this warrior is at 22:00, when matinplay’s win rate peaks at a near-mythical 77.78%. But beware—the tilt factor is at an manageable 8, meaning morning coffee before the game is probably recommended.
