Profile Summary: P M (aka phiphim)

Meet P M, a chess player whose online alias "phiphim" strikes like a stealthy knight—unexpected, cunning, and occasionally accompanied by the faint sound of a rook marching boldly forward. Starting modestly around 2013 with rapid ratings in the 900s, P M has steadily climbed the ranks, soaring to impressive peaks of 2113 in bullet, 2042 in blitz, and a solid 1549 in rapid by mid-2010s. Even the Daily format couldn’t escape their charm, reaching a strong 1831 rating.

P M’s style? Tactical wizardry blended with resilience. With a comeback rate sailing near 80%, this player thrives even after setbacks—often turning a lost piece into a strategic opportunity. Don’t be fooled by the moderate early resignations (only about 2%), because when the endgame comes knocking, P M is all in, with nearly 75% endgame frequency and a knack for squeezing out victories in long, tense battles averaging close to 70 moves per win.

On the opening battlefield, P M enjoys variety and flair. Favorites include the classic Kings Pawn Opening in rapid games with a 100% win rate, the aggressive Danish Gambit with a 75% success in rapid and over 70% in daily games, and the Scandinavian Defense shining in blitz with nearly 62% wins. Notably, P M has schooled opponents with less popular lines like the Vienna Game Max Lange Vienna Gambit and even ventured into the Philidor Defense.

When asked about their strongest time, P M slyly points to late evenings—22:00 is their prime hour, where the king marches confidently and tactics catch unwary opponents off-guard. Though psychological highs and lows exist (a tilt factor of 20 lets us know even grandmasters have their off days), this player’s persistence shines through.

P M’s game record is extensive: over 1800 wins in Bullet alone, supplemented by hundreds more in Blitz and Daily formats. Battles against familiar foes show remarkable dominance, like a 95% win rate against "gillespuydt" or flawless success against "supersilentspace" and "mpichon." Yet, for all the victories, the journey includes losses—like a recent bout where time slipped away against “harsheyboy,” reminding us all that even champions occasionally stumble.

Fun fact: P M has a penchant for winning in unusual fashions, from checkmate in elegant moves to time victories when the clock ticks mercilessly. Their longest winning streak reached a formidable 24 consecutive games—proof that when the pieces align, phiphim becomes unstoppable.

In summary, P M (phiphim) is a dedicated tactician, a resilient competitor, and occasionally a time-wrangling wizard who loves mixing classic chess principles with a dash of unpredictable flair. Whether fighting in bullet lightning storms or thoughtful daily duels, this player embodies the chessboard’s eternal dance of strategy, madness, and triumph.

Watch your knight, or it might just become P M's dinner.
