Profile: Modest_Butter

Meet Modest_Butter, a rapid chess player whose rating journey in 2025 resembles a roller coaster more than a smooth ascent. With a peak rating of 627, Modest_Butter has experienced both the sting of defeat and the glory of victory across 37 rapid games.

Playing Style & Strategy

A master of the early game, Modest_Butter boasts a peculiar fondness for the Alekhine’s Defense, where they shine with a 66.67% win rate. The Reti Opening is their secret weapon, delivering an impeccable 100% success mark. Other openings, like the Three Knights or Indian Game variations, are hit-or-miss, proving Modest_Butter enjoys experimenting and keeps opponents on their toes.

Strengths and Quirks

• Known for the unusual combination of early resignations (about 19% of losses) — Modest_Butter isn’t afraid to call it quits when the chips are down, saving energy for the next battle.
• Enjoys grinding out endgames, appearing in roughly 32% of matches, often lasting around 38 moves per win.
• White pieces yield a slightly better winning edge (42%) than Black (39%), so the player probably dreams of opening with White and plotting their next move in the chess night.
• Has a respectable comeback rate of 40%, proving resilience when down, although the win rate after losing a piece drops to about 26%—because losing pieces is frowned upon in chess.

Competitive Highlights

While Modest_Butter dominates opponents rated below them with near-perfect success (94% wins!), it’s clear tougher players turn the tables with a 100% loss record against higher-rated opponents—like trying to butter toast with a spoon.

Favorite opponents include mtabak18, yuqu472, and teddy97133, all beaten with admirable consistency. Some rivals, like haringbaliw and aisheee, still hold the upper hand. Rivalries are just part of the fun in this grand game!
