The Opening Buffet
True to their name, Potato_chips08 crunches through openings with a favored diet of Caro-Kann Defense, with a savory win rate of 62.7% in Rapid and a crispy 54.3% in Bullet games. One of their secret recipes? The Scandinavian Defense Mieses Kotrc Variation, boasting a flawless 100% win record. It’s clear they don’t just dip their toes; they fully dive into the potato chip bag of the chess opening cookbook.

Playing Time Preferences
This player’s peak mental potatoes pop best at strange hours, particularly at 8 AM and between 6 PM and 9 PM, achieving win rates as high as 74% around 9 PM. And although the "tilt factor" is a modest 8, they still keep their cool even when the chess kitchen heats up.
The Human Behind the Snacks
Potato_chips08 isn’t just about the numbers. They have a playful side, regularly resigning early only 4% of the time—a sign of sportsmanship or perhaps a polite nod to quicker matches. Their average game length suggests a patient, strategic player who enjoys a good chip-tasting session rather than rushing to finish.
Memorable Moments
Just recently, on June 4th, 2025, Potato_chips08 clinched a brilliant victory against “menegons” by resignation in a well-fought Rapid encounter featuring the classy Alapin Sicilian Defense. Not to mention a crushing checkmate against “Nixal2” in the Caro-Kann Fantasy Variation, showcasing a taste for surprise and tactical flair.
