Profile: Profylactic
International Master (IM)
Meet Profylactic, a cunning International Master whose chess prowess could easily be mistaken for wizardry. With a peak Blitz rating soaring to an impressive 2600 in April 2025, this player navigates the 64 squares with the precision of a surgeon and the flair of an artist.
Whether it’s Blitz, Bullet, or Rapid, Profylactic plays with a blend of tactical genius and psychological resilience. Known for a remarkable comeback rate of 89.16%, they never throw in the towel easily—even if their opponents think they’ve got the upper hand. The psychological tilt might be at a modest 9, but their endurance in endgames is legendary, with a frequency above 82% and victory often coming after long, grinding battles that test nerves and skill alike.
Famous for opening choices that keep opponents guessing, Profylactic has a special connection with the Top Secret opening (no spoilers, it's their signature!), boasting just under a 50% win rate over nearly 3500 games in Blitz alone. Sicilian Defense enthusiasts beware: a variety of Sicilian variations pepper their repertoire, including the Canal Attack, Open Dragon Fianchetto, and Scheveningen Sozin lines. Against these, they've shown a cheeky 60-75% win rate, proving that leaving opponents scratching their heads is part of their style.
When it comes to Bullet chess, lightning-fast reflexes and sharp instincts have earned Profylactic a respectable peak rating of 2460, while Rapid performance—though less frequent—is glitch-free, with a perfect 100% win rate in recorded games.
Beyond the numbers, what truly defines Profylactic is their humor and fighting spirit. Expect sparks to fly, strategies to twist, and occasional resignations only after demonstrating their unmistakable class. Their latest notable victory? A gritty endgame triumph in a Closed Sicilian Defense game won on time, showcasing both patience and timing worthy of a grandmaster’s applause.
So whether it’s strategic wizardry, dogged defense, or tactical fireworks, Profylactic proves chess is not just a game—it’s an art form, and they are definitely one of its masters.
