pat-90: The Tenacious Tactician of the Rapid Realm

Meet pat-90, a relentless force on the rapid chess battlefield, whose journey reads like a thrilling saga of climbs, slips, and fiery comebacks. With a career peak rating of 908 achieved in July 2024, pat-90’s rapid rating chart looks like a rollercoaster that keeps fans on the edge of their seats. Starting from a humble 590 early in 2024, this player boldly soared, pushing through 900 territory before facing some fierce challenges - but hey, every hero needs a good struggle, right?

With over 585 rapid games under their belt, pat-90 sports a near-even win/loss record (275 wins vs. 282 losses) with a sprinkle of draws. This shows a player who never pulls back - they fight it out until the final tick of the clock. Speaking of clocks, their best time to shine is after midnight, boasting an impressive 80% win rate at 00:00 hours. Midnight oil and chessboards are clearly best friends here!

Playing Style: Known for an adventurous opening repertoire, pat-90 is a bit of a connoisseur. From the King's Pawn Opening to the Scotch Game, and a particular fondness for the Van 't Kruijs Opening (where a dazzling 72.73% win rate is maintained), they mix classical tactics with unorthodox surprises. This player’s games average about 56 moves when winning – clearly, patience is a virtue.

Their psychological game is equally fascinating: a 9% tilt factor suggests they’re human after all, but a stellar 77% comeback rate proves pat-90 holds the heart of a fighter. Early resignations are rare (just over 5%), showing the spirit to battle hard, often playing through tricky endgames (endgame frequency over 51%).

off the board, pat-90’s win rates fluctuate slightly by day, but Saturday is their lucky day with a strong 56% success rate. Interestingly, this strategizing warrior encounters a mixed bag of opponents: some they’ve crushed repeatedly, others who’ve seen them falter—in true sportsmanlike fashion.
