Playing Style & Strengths

What does pak_su bring to the board? A delightfully unpredictable tactical mind with a 75% comeback rate after setbacks — clearly not one to throw in the towel easily. Endgames are a specialty too, appearing in nearly 70% of games, indicating a player who loves the grind and can outmaneuver opponents in the late phases. However, average losses tend to run a bit longer than wins, probably reflecting the many “cliffhanger” encounters pak_su drags out (think: “to resign or not to resign” moments, with only a 5.5% early resignation rate).

Opening Repertoire: Favoring Familiar Paths

• King’s Pawn Opening: The bread and butter with 68 games and a solid 65% win rate — a dependable route to tactical skirmishes.
• Italian Game: A classic choice, balancing risks and rewards to maintain a 50% win rate.
• Nimzowitsch Larsen Attack Modern Variation: A sneaky surprise with a commendable 60% win rate, perfect for catching opponents off guard.
• Some experiments yield mixed results, like the Owen’s Defense with a modest 39% success, proving every grandmaster’s path includes a few “learning opportunities.”

Daily Chess: A Tough Crowd

Daily games are a different beast for pak_su, with a top rating of 578 and more losses than wins. Facing mysterious "Top Secret" openings remains a challenge (0 wins out of 8), but the player shows grit, claiming victories with aggressive Danish Gambits and Queens Pawn Opening Horwitz Defense variations when the moment arises.

Time & Mood

pak_su shines brightest during the magical early hours — a perfect 100% win rate at 5 AM and midnight! Clearly a night owl or a dawn strategist. Saturdays are also favorable, with nearly 66% wins, suggesting weekends are for conquering pawns and kings alike. However, beware the 21:00 hour — a lowly 25% win rate that might benefit from a snack or two.

Psychological Note

Even the best have their off days; pak_su’s tilt factor is moderate at 8, indicating occasional frustration but primarily a steadfast spirit. The player thrives after losing a piece nearly half the time — proving once again that setbacks are mere preludes to comebacks.
