Profile Summary: PSepulcre

Once a humble pawn pushing its way on the 64 squares, PSepulcre has carved out a path in the chess world that's equal parts persistence, passion, and a pinch of pizzazz. Since first entering the rapid battleground back in early 2024, this player has surged from a modest rating around the 400s up to an impressive peak of 1021 in June 2025 – that's some serious elevation on the chess ladder!

Rapid is the battleground where PSepulcre truly shines. With over 700 games under the belt and a close to 52% win rate, they've demonstrated a fierce but measured style. The recent climb in rating shows this competitor isn’t just here for participation trophies. In blitz, while less frequent, PSepulcre’s peak rating touched a respectable 357, proving speed-chess is also in the arsenal.

Opener enthusiasts beware: PSepulcre favors classic and versatile openings, especially the Queens Pawn Opening with various tricky Zukertort and Chigorin variations, plus a very respectable Sicilian Defense record boasting a 60%+ win rate. Their tactical acumen should never be underestimated, with a comeback rate of 77.37% after setbacks, they practically dance on the board like there's no tomorrow.

When not rattling opponents’ cages with strategic gambits or solid defenses, PSepulcre’s psychological game is noteworthy. Famously, the best time of day to challenge them is midnight, where their tilt factor is remarkably low at 7 – a zen-like chess monk in the virtual night.

Notable Streaks & Stats

  • Longest winning streak: 9 games in a row (impressive for mortals!)
  • Currently riding a 3-game winning streak – hot off the presses!
  • Known for resilience with an average decisive game length of around 60+ moves, showing a preference for thoughtful endgames.

Recent Highlights

Just a few days ago, PSepulcre clinched a dramatic win by resignation after a grindout in a Queens Pawn Opening - Horwitz Defense battle:


, completing yet another chapter in their rapid ascension.

Playing Style

PSepulcre loves the long game, with an impressive average moves per win of about 56 moves, proving patience is indeed a virtue. Their endgame is a grand theater, featured in nearly two-thirds of their games. While an early resignation rate of just over 1% hints they have a never-give-up attitude, their openings reflect a mix of solid groundwork and occasional surprise attacks.

An anecdote for the chess cafe: if you spot PSepulcre subtly shaking hands at 00:00, beware! That's when the chess zen master unleashes their finest strategies with a near 100% win rate in the "dead of night."

In Conclusion

From humble beginnings to a nearly 1000-point climb in rapid rating, PSepulcre isn’t just playing chess; they’re evolving it. With a balanced style, a hearty dose of tactical resilience, and a taste for classical openings that make opponents sweat, it’s only a matter of time before PSepulcre conquers even greater pinnacles on the chessboard.

Stay tuned, for the best is yet to move!
