Brian Coudert (aka OneTrick39)

Brian Coudert is a chess warrior who prefers the rapid-fire thrill of blitz and the calculated tactics of rapid games, all while sometimes bewildering opponents with his “Top Secret” openings—because who needs to share their secrets, right?

Chess Journey

Starting with modest ratings in 2023, Brian’s blitz rating climbed from a humble 140 to a jaw-dropping peak of 348 in October 2024, proving that slow and steady sometimes wins the race... but fast and furious wins even faster. His rapid chess performance dazzled with an all-time high rating of 590 back in October 2023, while bullet chess showcased his sudden-death sharpness, hitting a peak rating of 414.

Style and Strategy

With an early resignation rate of just 6.25%, Brian is no quitter—except maybe when Netflix calls. His endgame appearances are almost half of his games (49.54%), reflecting his stamina and love for the long haul battles. Expect games averaging around 53 moves, meaning Brian enjoys the full dramatic arc before closing the curtain, checkmate or timeout!

His tactical awareness is nothing to sneeze at: a remarkable 71.67% comeback rate means Brian never truly gives up, and even when losing material, he manages to win over 40% of those grim battles.

Wrecking Ball Record

Brian plays a lot of games against mmao372—275 times to be exact—with a respectable 38.55% win rate there, proving persistence pays (even if it involves a bit of growing pains). Fascinatingly, he boasts a perfect 100% win rate against many opponents such as aaastraa, poststarburst, and jozebo, which must leave those rivals checking their openings twice.

The Human Clock

When should you challenge Brian? Avoid Monday to Tuesday afternoons if you want to win, since his best time to play is apparently around 6 AM — a time when many are wishing their chess clock was a coffee maker. Also, his wins spike at 16:00 hours, where he enjoys a 75% success rate. Night owls beware: Brian tends to keep his cool, with a tilt factor of only 8, so he won’t crumble under pressure easily.

Most Memorable Moment

On January 17, 2025, Brian smashed through defenses using the daring Center Game (ECO C21), wrapping up a quick win against sebastianyolo by abandoning the game in style after a tactical storm. Sometimes, it’s not just winning but making an entrance that counts!

Summary

Brian Coudert aka OneTrick39 is the kind of player who blends grit, strategy, and a touch of mystery. Armed with “Top Secret” openings and a never-give-up attitude, he’s a relentless challenger on the board and an entertaining character off it. Whether you love long endgames or blistering bullet matches, Brian proves chess is a game best enjoyed with equal parts skill and panache.
