Chess Player Profile: GM (Username: poubas)

Meet GM poubas, the wizard who wrestles with 64 squares for glory and laughs in the face of checkmates—unless it's against them, then it's "technical difficulties." Since beginning their journey in Bullet chess back in 2009 with a modest rating of 1200, poubas catapulted forward with a bibbly-bobbly rise, hitting a blazing peak Bullet rating of 1988 in early 2019. In Blitz, however, things really got spicy, cresting at an impressive 2301 in 2025—a year where poubas apparently made every opponent consider retirement.

With over 58,000 total games spanning Bullet, Blitz, and Rapid formats, poubas blends persistence with strategic cunning. Bullet stats might show a bit of the rollercoaster effect—win rates of about 43%, and a notorious penchant for games that drag on approximately 73 moves per win and even longer when forced into the loss corner—but that only adds to the legend.

Their style? An affinity for endgames (79.5% frequency!), combined with an endearing early resignation rate of just over 0.5%—meaning poubas loves a fight but knows when to bow out gracefully. Plus, the celebrated ability to claw back from the brink boasts a comeback rate near 83%, demonstrating not only grit but some serious tactical wizardry.

Most recent escapades in 2025 show poubas delivering checkmate victories in various theoretical openings including the Kings Indian Attack, Sicilian Variation, Colle System, and Slav Defense Modern Quiet Schallopp Defense. Not to brag, but the current winning streak is going strong at 3 games—because sometimes pizzas aren't the only thing that gets sliced and diced.

Notable Stats & Fun Facts

• Longest Winning Streak: 20 (Yes, a whole tank of games without losing!)
• Longest Losing Streak: 15 (Even champions have their "off" days)
• Favorite Time to Play: 4:00 AM—because inspiration apparently strikes best when you're half-asleep
• Typical Game Length: Around 73 moves per win—endurance is key
• White Pieces Win Rate: 46.3% (Still better than flipping a coin!)
• Black Pieces Win Rate: 40.8% (Shhh... opponents' nightmare)

Recent Triumph

Just take a look at their latest dazzling victory against deki1967 (June 2025) where poubas executed a classic checkmate after maneuvering through a Kings Indian Attack - Sicilian Variation opening. Not just quick fingers, but an artistic finish too.

Playing Philosophy

poubas plays with a mix of relentless endgame battles and tactical awareness sharpened by an 82.99% comeback rate after setbacks. Their psychological tilt factor hovers at a manageable 15%, which means the occasional frustrating blunder is quickly shrugged off and followed by vengeance on the board.

Opponents beware—poubas doesn’t just clock in to churn moves; this player knows when to resign early, knows their openings, and finishes strong with sharp checkmates that would make even the legendary Bobby Fischer nod in approval.

So, whether in blistering Bullet, calculated Blitz, or steady Rapid, poubas is that player who might just turn your flawless win into a legendary tale of struggle and eventual defeat.

All hail the cunning and slightly unpredictable GM poubas!
