Pac0_57

Player Profile: Pac0_57

Meet Pac0_57, a spirited and determined chess enthusiast navigating the thrilling battlefield of online blitz and rapid chess. With a peak blitz rating flirting just shy of 300 (296 to be exact, achieved on a memorable April day in 2025) and a rapid best soaring to 368, Pac0_57 is no casual player—though they may occasionally resemble one when caught mid-tilt (a tilt factor of 5 keeps things interesting!).

Playing Style & Tendencies

Known for embracing endgames (nearly 60% of their games head there), Pac0_57's approach is patient and strategic—averaging about 56 moves for wins and around 60 moves in losses. White pieces seem to be their favored color with a slightly better win rate (just over 41%) compared to black’s 36%. And while early resignation happens about 12% of the time, it’s a tactic often used to preserve that precious mental energy for the next thrilling round.

Interestingly, Pac0_57 has a knack for comebacks, winning about 60% of games after falling behind. However, losing a piece tends to temper the winning chances to roughly 30%, a reminder that even the best warriors sometimes need to regroup.

Opening Preferences

The King’s Pawn Opening is the battlefield where Pac0_57 wields their queen with zeal, playing it in blitz and rapid with mixed results—holding roughly a 27% win rate in blitz but slightly better (35%) in rapid. The Alekhine’s Defense Maroczy Variation is a favorite blitz trap, boasting a respectable 67% win rate in limited attempts. Other openings like the Van 't Kruijs and Reti also get some love with even win-loss splits.

Performance & Records

Over recent months, Pac0_57 has played a total of nearly 130 games across blitz and rapid with a combined win count of approximately 60 games and a nearly symmetrical loss tally—a classic chess rollercoaster. The journey is peppered with fierce rivalries and surprising twists: they've managed convincing wins against opponents like onibhau and vheee06, securing 100% win rates, while others like dsunm remain elusive foes.

Their games occasionally end in dramatic fashion—with wins by resignation (44), and though losses by checkmate (59) might sound grim, it's all part of the adventurous journey on the 64 squares. Timed wins and losses are sprinkled in as well, keeping everyone on their toes until the very last second.

Best Time to Play

If you want to catch Pac0_57 at their peak performance, set your alarm for around 9 AM. That’s prime time for this player, with morning hours generally yielding more victories. Saturdays shine brightest with a win rate exceeding 50%, making weekends a great time to challenge them or cheer from the sidelines.

Memorable Game Highlight

One of the latest triumphs featured a sharp attack against onibhau, where Pac0_57’s queen danced aggressively early on, forcing a resignation by the 22nd move. The detailed dance began with a cheeky 2.Qh5, signaling their readiness to surprise and conquer.

In Summary

Pac0_57 is a proud gladiator of the chess world—a player who balances tactical risks with deep endgame knowledge, occasionally tipping into the hilarious and harrowing world of time trouble and tilt, but always eager to push pawns, hatch plans, and prove that rating is just a number waiting to be improved.
