Player Profile: Potcs

Potcs, a mysterious chess warrior known only by that moniker, has been navigating the thrilling battlefield of online chess with a mix of passion, persistence, and occasional bewilderment. Rising through the ranks primarily in Rapid and Blitz formats, Potcs’s journey is one of steady improvement sprinkled with the charm of a player who refuses to quit—even if it means sometimes throwing in the towel early (just 19% early resignations, so they clearly know when to fight and when to pity themselves).

Rating Rollercoaster

  • Rapid Peak: 1775 (2025) – Potcs’s high-water mark, achieved after hundreds of Rapid games, shows a solid grip on strategic play.
  • Blitz Peak: 1598 (2021) – Quick thinking and nimble fingers have served Potcs well in the lightning-fast Blitz arena.

On the Board

With an average of around 76 moves played per game regardless of the outcome, Potcs embraces every game like a dramatic saga rather than a quick skirmish. Winning white games 51.74% of the time and managing nearly 47% victories playing as black, Potcs is the sort who makes every pawn, knight, and rook sweat.

Style and Strategy

Endgames are Potcs’s playground, featuring in nearly 80% of games. Their tactical awareness is almost uncanny—every time they lose a piece, they bounce back to win 100% of those games. A comeback artist worthy of applause with an 88% comeback rate, Potcs keeps opponents guessing till the final checkmate.

Winning Streaks & Rivalries

Potcs once achieved a 13-game winning streak—a testament to their ability to channel focus and maybe, just maybe, to benefit from a lucky streak. Their most played opponents reflect a community of fierce competition, where Potcs sometimes prevails and other times… well, the battle continues. Interestingly, Potcs has a perfect winning record against “r4ndommer” but seems to have a tough time when facing "magno0728" or "tomson_xxx".

When & How Potcs Wins

Look out if you're playing Potcs around 21:00 or 20:00 hours — their win rates peak close to 58%! They apparently haven’t yet mastered the art of early morning wins (only 25% win rate at 2 AM), so late nights might not be their forte.

Psychological Quirks

With a tilt factor of 10, Potcs keeps a cool head—mostly. They also enjoy the satisfaction of winning 49% more rated games compared to casual ones, proving they bring their A-game when it really counts.

A Quirky Champion

In summary, Potcs is that unpredictable chess friend who might silently plot a comeback while casually chatting or resign a bit early to grab a snack—part tactician, part human. If you cross swords with Potcs, expect a marathon with twists, turns, and an opponent who simply never gives up.
