About pothadoss

Meet pothadoss, a chess warrior who dances on the chessboard mostly in rapid time control — where every second counts and every move can mean glory or defeat! With a peak Rapid rating of 322 achieved in May 2025, pothadoss has battled through nearly 160 Rapid matches, maintaining a perfectly balanced overall record with 79 wins, 79 losses, and just 3 draws.

Playing Style & Personality

A blend of daring tactics and persistent comebacks defines pothadoss's game. Tackling opponents with an average of 44 moves to claim victory, their endgame frequency sits at about 33%, proving they don't shy away from the late fight. But beware — early resignation is their quirky sidekick, clocking in around 23% of the games. Maybe that’s just the dramatic flair kicking in? Despite a few tough losses, pothadoss picks themselves up with a stellar comeback rate of over 62%.

Opening Repertoire

Opening enthusiasts, take note: pothadoss favors the classic King’s Pawn Opening but with a twist. They boast a solid near 47% win rate in the King’s Knight Variation and have a shining 100% record in the Petrovs Defense Classical Variation—a rare jewel! Scandinavian Defense is another playground, where pothadoss's 80% win rate tells tales of fierce miniatures. That said, the notorious Petrovs Defense main line has been less kind, with no wins from six battles—proof that everyone has their nemesis.

Favorite Time to Play

If you want to catch pothadoss at their best, set a match around 5 PM. At this magic hour, their win rate peaks at an incredible 100%, perhaps fueled by a perfect cup of coffee or a quick stand-up stretch. Afternoon slots around 14:00 to 16:00 are also lucky times, boasting win percentages well above 80%. Morning and late nights tend to bring mixed fortunes.
