Sean Cooper - The Chess Warrior
Known online as ordernchaos, Sean Cooper is a dedicated chess enthusiast who has plied his skills across various time controls with relentless passion and an almost scientific persistence. Though not yet a grandmaster, Sean's journey through the ranks—from a humble rapid rating of 939 in 2022 up to a rapid high of 1420 in 2024—proves that steady improvement beats instant brilliance every time.
Playing Style and Personality
Sean tends to dive deep into endgames, showing off a preference for long battles with an endgame frequency exceeding 60%. With an average of about 60 moves per game, patience is clearly one of his virtues—even if his tilt factor hits 11, suggesting that sometimes the pressure does get to him. Despite this, his ability to bounce back from setbacks is remarkable, boasting a comeback rate of over 73% and an unbelievable 100% win rate after losing a piece. That’s right: lose a piece, and Sean will show you how to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat like a chess ninja.
Strengths and Highlights
- Rapid Chess: Sean’s bread and butter, with over 4,600 rapid games played and a nearly balanced win/loss record (1706 wins to 1686 losses). His peak rapid rating recently touched 1420.
- Blitz and Bullet: With close to 1000 blitz games and steady performances, Sean manages solid wins even under time pressure, though bullet chess sometimes tests his nerves a bit.
- Daily Chess: Small sample but impressive results—an 80% win rate, proving that when given time to think, Sean makes the right moves.
Opening Repertoire
Mysterious as always, Sean prefers to keep his openings "Top Secret." Despite this cloak-and-dagger approach, his win rates hover close to 48-49% in rapid, blitz, and bullet formats. Whatever he's playing, it works well enough to keep opponents guessing (and grimacing).
Notable Opponent Records
Sean's opponent list reads like a who's who of online challengers. While some players have gotten the better of him, others have fallen victim time and time again—with some 100% win rates against certain opponents. On occasion, he even engages in long-standing rivalries, such as with gimmicki, whom he has faced 17 times with a competitive win rate hovering around 59%.
The Human Side
Behind all the numbers and stats is a player who’s not afraid to laugh at his own mistakes (or rage-quit early on occasion, with an early resignation rate of just 2.33%). In many ways, Sean embodies the spirit of chess: constantly learning, occasionally raging, but always moving forward—with a current winning streak waiting patiently for the next game to ignite it again.
So next time you face ordernchaos online, remember: this warrior plays the long game.
