Pol Con - The Calculated Maverick of the Chessboard
Meet Pol Con, a chess enthusiast whose rapid rating journey resembles a rollercoaster with a few loop-the-loops, but thankfully no vomiting. Since emerging onto the scene in early 2021 with a modest rapid rating hovering around 600, Pol's tenacity saw their rating soar past the 1000 mark by mid-2023, peaking impressively at 1122! Think chess meets rocket science, but with a sprinkle of caffeine-fueled calculating prowess.
Playing Style & Preferences
Pol is not just about numbers; their style is an intriguing blend of patience and daring. With an endgame frequency of nearly 63%, they love to grind it out and make those late-stage maneuvers count. Victory tends to come after an average of 55 moves – because, hey, why rush when you can torment your opponents? However, when the losses hit, they often drag on to about 66 moves – a testament to Pol's resilient refusal to surrender easily.
Early resignations are rare, around 2%, proving that Pol is certainly not one to quit mid-battle. Their comeback rate? A jaw-dropping 66%, meaning if they lose a piece, don’t count them out – their survival instincts kick in like a boss. And they win almost 42% of the time after losing a piece, making them that delightfully annoying adversary who just keeps fighting.
Opening Repertoire
Pol’s favorite opening for rapid and blitz isn't a secret weapon but a trusty old friend: the Bishop’s Opening. With a solid win rate hovering above 50% in rapid games and an aggressive approach in blitz, this opening perfectly complements their style – balanced yet aggressive.
Psychological Profile & Timing
A quirky detail: Pol’s best time of day to play is around 3 AM. Apparently, the early morning hours fuel the best tactical awareness – or maybe it’s just the quiet, when no one’s around to disturb that brilliant train of thought. With a tilt factor of 11 (which means they keep a cool head most of the time), their psychological resilience is strong, except when playing at 7 AM, where their win-rate dips – possibly because the coffee hasn't kicked in yet.
Recent Adventures on the Board
Pol’s latest rapid game was nothing short of a masterclass in "don't blink or you'll miss it." Rocking the Bishop's Opening, Pol won via some clever sacrifices and timely attacks – checkmate in under 12 moves! Not to mention a gritty victory over obitomaheshwaria with a stylish queen outing, proving that Pol’s time at the board is as entertaining as it is effective.
