Meet Ottbucket, a rapid-fire chess enthusiast whose rating and resilience have ebbed and flowed much like the tides of evolution. Although not yet a grandmaster, Ottbucket's games are anything but mundane — filled with unexpected gambits and a hearty dose of biological vigor.

Rating Evolution

In 2024, Ottbucket's rapid rating peaked at a respectable 830 but more often existed in the range of 499 to 627. By 2025, the rating took a dive closer to 350, proving that even the hardiest of chess organisms must adapt to survive. Despite a recent dip, Ottbucket has played over 400 rapid games this year, showing a tenacity that would make any chessboard cell proud.

A Colony of Opening Moves

Ottbucket shows a particular fondness for the Caro-Kann Defense — a strategy they’ve employed 76 times with a win rate of over 52%. Other favored openings include the Italian Game (boasting a robust 66% win rate), and various variations of the King's and Queen’s Pawn openings. Clearly, Ottbucket enjoys seeding complexity early in the game, much like a clever fungus spreading spores.

Predator or Prey?

With an overall win-loss-draw record of 215-247-7, Ottbucket comfortably stalks the chess ecosystem's rank and file, occasionally launching a ten-win streak that dazzles opponents. Their come-back rate is an impressive 53%, with a perfect 100% win rate after losing a piece — truly showing an uncanny ability to regenerate and turn the tables, like a starfish regrowing lost limbs.

Playing Style & Psychological Traits

Despite a tilt factor of 11 (because nobody is immune to a bad day on the board), Ottbucket demonstrates remarkable psychological resilience — turning losses into future wins with a creative flair resembling evolutionary adaptation. Slightly more victorious as White, but no stranger to mixing it up as Black.
