Maxton78

Player Profile: Maxton78

Meet Maxton78, a spirited chess enthusiast whose journey through the 64 squares is anything but boring. With a rapid rating that once soared to a peak of 938 in early 2024 and a blitz high of 988, Maxton78 shows flashes of tactical brilliance that could make even Magnus pause.

A Rollercoaster of Ratings

Starting 2024 with a modest rapid rating in the mid-400s, Maxton78 quickly climbed to flirting with the 900 mark by March, proving that slow and steady isn't their style—it's more like "surge and swerve." While recent months show a bit of a rating rollercoaster dipping back into the 700s, the spirit to bounce back remains strong. Bullet and daily ratings are humble, but hey, not everyone can be a speed demon!

Strengths & Style

Known for an aggressive and resilient style, Maxton78 has a comeback rate of over 67% after setbacks and doesn’t shy away from fights even when losing material (winning 41.55% of those games!). A graceful endgame artist, with over half their games featuring endgames, and an average of around 50 moves per win, this player truly appreciates the beauty of a marathon match.

Playing with the black pieces is just as comfy as with white, boasting nearly equal win rates (White 46.88%, Black 47.37%) — proving Maxton78’s versatility. However, frequent early resignations (8.28% rate) suggest that sometimes patience is NOT the name of the game!

Opening Preferences

As white, Maxton78 favors classical charm: King’s Pawn and Bishop’s Opening variations bring the best out of their play, with win rates comfortably above 50%. The French Defense shines as a black opening choice, netting nearly 62% wins — talk about french flair! Scandinavian Defense seems to be a nemesis, though, with a sub-45% win rate; maybe the knights are just too pesky.

Memorable Battles

In a recent thrilling victory, Maxton78 delivered a checkmate with style against hangrybunny in an English Opening Kings English Variation — proving that they're no bunny to mess with. On the flip side, losses versus tricky opponents like 357coltpython have taught valuable lessons, including when to hold 'em and when to resign (sometimes early, apparently).

Fun Facts & Quirks

• Best time to challenge Maxton78? Apparently 6 AM sharp — either a morning brainwave or an early caffeine-fueled blitz!
• Longest winning streak: 6 games in a row — a brief but glorious blitzkrieg.
• Longest losing streak: 8 games — because what’s a hero without a little suffering?
• Monday is their lucky day with a 64.71% win rate, perfect for kicking off the week with a tactical punch.

Opponent Records

Maxton78 has quite the mixed bag of rivalries: undefeated against diogob89, basti_sex, and hangrybunny, but mysteriously less fortunate against 357coltpython and king_arther. Chess is clearly a game of kings and jesters for this contender!

Summary

To sum up, Maxton78 is a passionate, resilient, and sometimes unpredictable chess player who embraces the struggle as much as the triumph. Whether it’s a nail-biting rapid encounter, a lightning blitz, or a bullet sprint, this player brings energy, fight, and a touch of humor to the chessboard. Keep an eye on Maxton78; the best games are yet to come!
