mookbaz

Profile Summary: mookbaz

Once upon a chessboard, there emerged a player known only as mookbaz, whose journey through the twists and turns of rapid chess is as thrilling as a rollercoaster ride with a few loop-de-loops thrown in. With a peak rating of 777 earned in December 2024, mookbaz has shown flashes of brilliance amidst a sea of pawns, knights, and occasional blunders.

Known for a quirky obsession with the Bird’s Opening Dutch Variation, mookbaz has played over 70 games with this line, boasting a win rate north of 53%. Not a fan of predictable openings, mookbaz also dabbles in top-secret strategies, Kings Pawn variations, and even the mysterious Scotch Game (though the opponents seem to like it a bit more than he does).

Playing style-wise, mookbaz prefers to keep things lengthy, with an average of 54 moves per win and about 63 moves per loss, proving that patience is a virtue—sometimes even when it’s hard to hold onto it (hello, 8-game losing streak).

What truly sets mookbaz apart is the resilience reminiscent of a chess phoenix: a comeback rate of a whopping 73% means when the chips are down (or the queen is missing), there’s still hope... or at least a stubborn refusal to resign early, as indicated by his modest 2.86% early resignation rate.

If you’re wondering when this enigmatic player is at their sharpest, mark your clocks for 9 AM, where they reportedly hit a peak win-rate slot—probably after coffee and a motivational speech to the chess pieces.

Despite an almost equal tally of wins (789) and losses (769) in rapid games, mookbaz’s spirit shines brightest in those nail-biting moments ending in checkmate, like the recent elegant finishing sequence against BlissfulWitness, where a precise Ra1# sealed a hard-fought victory.

All in all, mookbaz is a chess adventurer: sometimes winning, sometimes learning, always playing. If underdog stories had a poster child, mookbaz would be the knight who occasionally stumbles but ultimately gallops into the sunset — preferably with a well-timed checkmate.
