Maxence (aka Maxx-62) - The Rapid Roller

Meet Maxence, better known online as Maxx-62, a rapid chess enthusiast whose rating rollercoaster keeps fans on the edge of their seats. Peaking at a solid 576 in April 2025, Maxence shows both flashes of brilliance and moments of "what just happened?" on the chessboard.

Rapid Fire Record

In the world of rapid chess, Maxx-62 has racked up over 400 games in May 2025 alone, with almost a 50/50 split in wins and losses (207 wins vs. 179 losses), plus a few pesky draws thrown in. With an average game lasting around 60 moves, endurance and patience are clearly part of their game plan. They have a curious tendency to play the Alekhine's Defense with a remarkable 73% win rate, meaning opponents better watch out for cheeky counterattacks!

Favorite Openings — and some surprises

• Alekhine's Defense: Their secret weapon, winning nearly three-quarters of the time.
• Queen's Pawn Opening – Chigorin Variation: A somewhat risky choice that pays off more than half the time.
• Caro-Kann Defense: Another solid favorite with a 60% success rate.
• Also dabbling in the quirky Englund Gambit – because sometimes you just want to keep things spicy.

Playing Style: The Long Game

Maxence likes to play it long and strategic, averaging 62 moves in their victories. Early resignation? Nah, that's for quitters — with an early resignation rate under 5%, Maxx-62 sticks around to the bitter end. Black pieces or white, the solid win rate around 50% speaks to a balanced and patient player who refuses to be rushed.

Psychology and Timing

Maxence wins best in the morning around 10 AM, with a surprising 100% win rate at 10 o'clock sharp — clearly a master of breakfast chess! They shine brightest on Mondays and Sundays, with over 56% wins on Sundays, possibly because the coffee is stronger or the opponents are just slower waking up.

Recent Battles: Triumphs and Trials

Maxx-62 recently clinched a hard-fought victory in a Caro-Kann Defense - Spike Variation, forcing resignation from a stubborn opponent in May 2025. But no hero’s journey is complete without a few setbacks — Maxence also faced a checkmate loss in a Queens Gambit Declined:
Remember, every checkmate is just a setup for the ultimate comeback!
