Profile: mistoBs

Meet mistoBs, a rapid chess player whose journey more closely resembles an epic rollercoaster than a serene chessboard. With a peak rapid rating of 571 achieved in May 2025, mistoBs is a fearless competitor who thrives on swinging between thrilling highs and humbling lows.

Playing Style & Strengths

Known for a moderate early resignation rate (16.13%)—because sometimes you gotta save time for pizza—mistoBs prefers battles that stretch the brain with an average of around 49 moves per win. Endgames appear in roughly 37% of their matches, proving patience is part of the game plan. Interestingly, playing as Black yields a better win rate (59.38%) than White (44.44%), showing off some sneaky counterattacking flair.

Tactical Grit

Never one to surrender easily, mistoBs boasts a remarkable comeback rate of 74.29%, turning near-defeats into roaring victories. If a piece is lost, don’t count them out—their win rate after losing material is nearly 50%. However, about a quarter of losses are one-sided, reminding us even the toughest have their off-days.

Opening Repertoire

A connoisseur of the Queen's Pawn Opening family, especially the Chigorin Variation, this player has logged 15 battles there, winning 40% of the time. Other favored openings include the Englund Gambit and the impressively undefeated Van't Kruijs Opening, where they’ve scored a perfect 100% win rate in 3 games. Mixing it up with the King's Pawn Opening and thematic defenses like the Petrov's family, mistoBs knows how to keep opponents guessing… and occasionally scratching their heads.

Competitive Stats

Over 66 rapid games have been fought with a nearly balanced record of 35 wins, 31 losses, and 2 draws. Their longest streaks tell a story too: a seven-game winning tear was matched by an equally daunting seven-game losing slump, followed by a recent five-game skid. Yet, resilience shines through.

Signature Victories & Memorable Moments

Among recent highlights, mistoBs delivered a dazzling checkmate against aurelepaw with the Queen’s Pawn Chigorin Variation, and skillfully secured multiple wins by resignation. While some losses came via timeouts or unexpected resignations—you know, those “wait, what just happened?” moments—mistoBs’ spirit remains unbroken.

Personality & Quirks

Tilt factor stands modest at 7, but the best time to take on the chess world is undeniably around 2 pm, when focus and caffeine presumably click. Opponents beware: mistoBs shines particularly on Fridays and Thursdays, with win rates above 75% on those days—weekend vibes, maybe?

Verdict

Whether you're rooting for the underdog or a comeback artist, mistoBs is a player who embraces the chaos and charm of rapid chess. Expect sharp tactics, resilient turns, and the occasional “oops” move that keeps the game human. Follow mistoBs for a spirited ride across the 64 squares—where every win feels sweet, every loss builds character, and every game is a story.
