Milo Bolton: The Cautious Chess Warrior
Meet Milo Bolton, also known in the chess circles as milobolton, a player who has experienced
the full emotional rollercoaster that Rapid and Bullet games can offer. With a journey marked by peaks, valleys,
and some notable checkmates, Milo’s chess story is one of persistence, tact, and wry humor.
A Rating Tale Worth Telling
Once hitting a Rapid peak rating of 1000 in early 2021, Milo’s ratings have had their ups and downs, much like a
queen zig-zagging across the board. Recent Rapid ratings hover around the mid-300s to 400s, showing steady battles
fought with passion. Blitz and Bullet stats are shorter but spirited: a Blitz max at 1059 and a Bullet top rating of 435.
A Game Record with Character
Across Rapid games alone, Milo has played over 800 duels, winning 364, losing 403, and drawing 57 — proving
that chess is not just about winning, but about enjoying the struggle. A nearly 14% early resignation rate shows
Milo’s practical mindset: why prolong the agony when a better battle awaits? Yet, his comeback rate of 69.4% sings to
a resilient spirit that refuses to quit after setbacks.
Style on and off the Board
Milo’s average of roughly 52 moves per win and 48 per loss suggests games packed with thoughtful maneuvering —
no flashy snap decisions here. The balance between White (45.5% wins) and Black (42.3% wins) performance shows versatility.
But perhaps the quirkiest fact is Milo’s best time to play: 2 AM, when the chess brain switches to nocturnal mode.
Memorable Moments & Opponents
The recent highlight reel includes a checkmate victory as Black against LENHOX wielding the Queen’s Pawn Opening,
finishing the job elegantly with a neat Re1#. Defeating familiar foes like "fatmick66" eight times, Milo often proves
that persistence beats repetition.
A Few Fun Facts
- Longest winning streak: 7 games (because chunks of brilliance count!)
- Longest losing streak: 11 games (proof that even champions have off days)
- A tilt factor of 11 – yes, Milo occasionally curses the chess gods, but bounces back stronger.
- Prefers to resign early rather than drag out a losing game; save time for pizza and analysis.
