StanTheGorilla - The Chess Jungle Beast

Known to some as Pandzior6, StanTheGorilla has stomped his way through the online chess jungle with a hearty mix of grit, guts, and a splash of cheeky tactics. His chess journey is nothing short of a rollercoaster, climbing from rapid rating lows to some fierce peaks that make opponents think twice before entering the arena.

Rating Roar

• Bullet: The true speed king, hitting a ferocious 701 in April 2025, showing lightning-fast reflexes and razor-sharp intuition.
• Blitz: Not to be outdone, a peak of 521 in April 2025 marks a solid balance between speed and strategy.
• Daily: When there’s time to think, StanTheGorilla shines brightest with a peak 751 rating, proving patience can be a deadly weapon.

Playing Style & Personality

StanTheGorilla might be harsh on himself—his tilt factor is 16, which means after a frustrating loss, he might growl a little louder—but he is a serious comeback artist with an incredible 88% comeback rate after setbacks. Don’t count him out just because things look grim, he’s got that gorilla grip on the game.

He’s not one to quit early either, with a low 4.12% early resignation rate. Stan fights to the very end, pushing on average over 50 moves per game, with losses dragging slightly longer than wins—clearly a stubborn contender who gives his all! White squares hold a slight edge in his victories (49.32%) over black (43.81%), so if you face him, beware his opening surprise!

Signature Openings

StanTheGorilla keeps many cards close to his chest (his opening named “Top Secret” is actually quite popular, with over 395 rapid and 1364 bullet games!), but some fan favorites include:

• Ponziani Opening Jaenisch Counterattack in bullet with a fierce 72.73% win rate.
• Ponziani Opening itself, boasting a solid 64.1% win rate in bullet.
• And a dash of the Scandinavian Defense, French Defense Knight Variation, and Englund Gambit to keep opponents guessing.

Notable Records & Stats

With over 1,700 bullet games logged recently, Stan has an almost even split of wins (861) and losses (821), with 41 draws—a true veteran in fast chess battles. His rapid games, though featuring more losses than wins (127 wins vs. 241 losses), still display fierce tenacity and strategic depth.

Checkmates are his preferred way to win (242 wins by checkmate), but he also snatches victories on time frequently (676 wins by timeout—time pressure is a weapon and a foe!). With a longest winning streak of 13 and a losing streak of 16, his journey is a testament to the wild swings in competitive chess.

Memorable Games

In his latest recorded masterpieces, StanTheGorilla delivered a stunning checkmate using the Ponziani Opening just this May 29, 2025, forcing opponents into submission with elegant precision. And though he's been checkmated before, like the recent loss to Kolorzielony, there’s no denying the jungle beast keeps rising back for more.

Daily Chess - The Zen Master Mode

When in slow, thoughtful mode, StanTheGorilla is a bonafide titan, reaching his highest daily rating of 751. That’s when the gorilla goes full zen mode—careful, calculated, and downright unbeatable.

Fun Fact

Stan’s best hour to throw down some serious moves? 1 PM sharp. So if you're planning to catch him napping, it's best to avoid midday — that's when the beast really wakes up.

Overall, StanTheGorilla is a formidable competitor with a fierce fighting spirit and a personality as big as his username suggests. Whether sprinting through bullet or strategizing in daily games, he’s a force hard to tame in the wild world of chess.
