Meet Maxou_2108: The Rapid Riddler of the Chessboard
In the vast kingdom of chess warriors, few march to the beat of their own pawn like Maxou_2108. Specializing in the speedy and strategic Rapid time control, Maxou blends swift strikes with crafty defense — though with a penchant for the slightly chaotic, as their win rate suggests a rollercoaster ride of emotions and tactics.
Rating Ride and Rollercoaster
Maxou's peak Rapid rating soared to an impressive 434 in early June 2025, a testament to their rapid-fire skills. But beware — just days later, the rollercoaster dips and dives! Their chess journey reads like a thrilling novel: 65 wins, 50 losses, and 23 draws in Rapid, and occasional ventures into Blitz, Bullet, and Daily chess styles. Spoiler alert: daily chess is their fortress, boasting a peak rating of 532 with a perfect win on record.
Openings: A Mix of Bold and Classic
From the sturdy King's Pawn Opening (sometimes with a splash of Leonardis flavor) to the sneaky and often victorious Scandinavian Defense Mieses Kotrc Variation with an 80% win rate, Maxou’s opening repertoire reads like a chess buffet. They also favor the ever-dashing Vienna Game, which has yielded an 80% win rate — that’s some serious pawn push power! Less successful, but still explored with gusto, is the enigmatic King's Knight Variation, where victory remains elusive.
Playing Style: Patience Meets Panic (Sometimes)
Maxou plays with an intriguing blend of tenacity and occasional surrender: an early resignation rate near 19%, hinting at a healthy respect for the clock and maybe a dash of frustration when things head south. On average, wins last about 55 moves, while losses wrap up slightly faster, showcasing battles fought until the last knight falls.
Their comeback rate after falling behind is a commendable 56%, proving they hate giving up — unless the coffee runs out.
Tactics & Time Preferences
Prepare to challenge Maxou in the afternoon or evening! Their best chess hours slide between 13:00 and 21:00 with a special charm at 21:00, scoring a sparkling 100% win rate (perhaps fueled by late-night snacks and cunning coffees). Mornings can be rough, with a win rate dropping to 0-14% around dawn, suggesting midnight puzzles might be a better idea.
Most Recent Triumph
Recently, Maxou toppled llamaquellama in a gripping game of the Giuoco Piano, proving that classical openings still hold secrets and victories for them. Checkmate sealed the deal after a grueling 25-move battle filled with well-timed captures and morale-boosting rook maneuvers.
Opponent Highlights
Maxou_2108 seems to have their opponents' number — with an impressive 100% win record against a slew of challengers like rvn422, fonzalooon, and jujujul84. However, tough nuts like syzoom and saboxliz remain elusive conquests. But hey, every hero needs a worthy rival!
Final Thoughts
With a playing style mixing strategic depth and a bit of cheeky unpredictability, Maxou_2108 remains a formidable foe and a delightful enigma on the cyber chess battlefield. Whether staging comebacks or gracefully bowing out, they keep the game exciting, reminding us all: in chess, sometimes you win, sometimes you learn... and sometimes you just gotta rage quit early.
