Profile Summary: ppsrao
Meet ppsrao, a daring adventurer on the checkered battlefield who prefers the rapid pace of the game like a caffeine-fueled chess ninja. Specializing in Rapid time controls, ppsrao enjoys an exhilarating rollercoaster ride through the rating charts, hitting a peak Rapid rating of 598 in March 2024—proof that even pawns can dream big!
Despite a sometimes fluctuating rating and a rollercoaster win to loss ratio, ppsrao’s love for the game shines through a staggering 2255 wins balanced with 2254 losses and 159 draws in Rapid chess alone. Talk about playing on the edge!
Openings are where ppsrao’s personality truly dazzles. Enthralled by the deceptive charm of the Queens Pawn Opening with almost 710 battles fought, boasting a nail-biting win rate of 48.31%, and the spicy intrigue of the Scandinavian Defense variants. If chess moves were flavors, ppsrao would be the chef’s special of gambits and tactical fireworks.
When things get heated, ppsrao loads up on resilience: with a comeback rate of over 80% when facing adversity, proving that giving up is not in the dictionary. Even when a piece is lost, a decent almost 44% win rate after losing material shows that strategic grit is a core strength.
Playing style? Expect a marathon rather than a sprint: average winning games stretch beyond 51 moves, and losses drag on longer, embracing the grind. Also, earlier resignations are rare, a modest 4.62%, signaling fights until the (clock) death.
Despite the rollercoaster, ppsrao’s psychological tilt factor is relatively low at 13%, and oddly prefers the witching hour (around midnight) to pounce on opponents. Whether fueled by moonlight magic or just quiet focus, ppsrao brings some nocturnal spice to the game.
