Profile Summary: paulasse

Meet paulasse, a fiery blitz battler who treats every game like a rollercoaster ride — thrilling, fast-paced, and occasionally a little bit wild! With a peak blitz rating soaring to 768 in April 2025, paulasse has proven to be a formidable opponent on the clock, earning wins and losses almost neck and neck, but always ready for the next battle.

Starting from a humble 354 rating in early 2025, paulasse skyrocketed to nearly double that, demonstrating an impressive ability to learn and adapt in rapid-fire matches. Few openings are sacred — from the Scotch Game to the King’s Pawn Opening (Kings Knight Variation), paulasse experiments boldly, favoring aggressive and sharp lines. Their favorite victories often come from sharp, tactical duels, as shown by a remarkable comeback rate above 83%, meaning paulasse never truly surrenders until the last piece falls.

If you catch paulasse playing around 3 AM, you might just witness the magic: their “best time of day to play” according to stats! Interestingly, despite a slightly notorious tilt factor of 9 (because who doesn’t get a bit salty after a string of losses?), paulasse is also known for being a “rage-fueled” fighter — bouncing back with resilience and a tactical mindset that keeps opponents guessing.

Playing Style

  • Avg Moves per Win: about 58 — they like to let the battle simmer before striking.
  • Endgame Frequency: Over 70% of games go down to the wire, proving paulasse isn’t scared of a late fight.
  • Early Resignation Rate: Low at only 2.26% — a true warrior at heart!
  • White Pieces Win Rate: 52.65% — a slight edge when they have the first move.

Notable Openings

Paulasse favors the Scotch Game with almost 47% win rate and shows special fondness for fighting sharp battles in the King’s Pawn Opening (Kings Knight Variation) that yields an impressive 62.5% win rate. Defensive lines like the Philidor Defense and the Nimzowitsch Defense Declined also feature prominently, revealing a player comfortable shifting gears between attack and defense.

Sparkling Highlights

The longest winning streak clocks in at a solid 10 games, where paulasse undoubtedly showcased their blitz mastery. But beware: like all warriors, paulasse has faced a rough patch too, enduring a 9-game losing skid. Still, the return to top form is what makes the tale worth following.

Psychological Edge & Quirks

Paulasse's win rate against opponents rated lower is a striking 82.6%, showing they don’t just toy with casuals but actually dominate them. However, against similar or higher-rated players, the battles get tenser, with win rates dropping to 59% on average – it’s where the real challenge (and drama!) unfolds. Fun fact: paulasse sometimes suffers from a “tilt factor” of 9, meaning there’s a 9% chance you’ll see moments of frustration—probably best not to stumble into a banter session right after a tough loss!

Whether you're here to cheer a blitz artisan or just enjoy the spectacle of rapid chess drama, paulasse delivers excitement, tactical bravery, and a generous helping of heart. Watch their games for beautiful rebounds, clever openings, and maybe a strategic blunder or two — after all, even legends fall before rising again.

Keep an eye on paulasse, the blitz maestro who turns the chessboard into their personal fireworks display.
