Known in the chess community simply as Quinten94, Quinten Ducarmon is a formidable International Master who has spent years sharpening their tactical prowess, whether it’s blitzing out moves in record time or grinding through marathon endgames.
A Journey Through Ratings
Starting from a modest blitz rating of 1417 in 2014, Quinten quickly climbed the ranks, peaking impressively at 2751 in blitz by 2022 - proof that practice, persistence, and possibly a bit of caffeine can work wonders. Along the way, Quinten dabbled in bullet and rapid games, with a rapid rating comfortably teetering around 2480+, showing versatility across different time controls.
Playing Style & Quirks
With an early resignation rate below 1%, Quinten clearly hates giving up, fighting through tough spots and proving their comeback mastery with a stellar 91% comeback rate. Uniquely, they boast a 100% win rate even after losing a piece—clearly, not all heroes wear capes; some just lose material temporarily for dramatic effect.
Endgames are a favorite battleground, with over 76% of their games extending to the late stages, averaging nearly 77 moves in wins—this isn’t your typical quick checkmate kind of player. No, Quinten plays the long game, sniffing out victory while others might have packed up their queens already.
Record & Rivalries
With more than 3100 blitz games played and a win rate hovering around 45% against a vast array of opponents, Quinten’s chess journey is nothing short of epic. They’ve maintained a resilient balance between wins, losses, and draws — all while besting some rivals multiple times. Their longest winning streak: a solid 11 victories, proving they can be a streaky force to be reckoned with.
Quirky Tidbits
- Quinten has a surprising 100% win record against some tricky opponents — maybe they’re psychic, or just exceptionally prepared.
- Awake and calculating even at odd hours, Quinten's worst win rate hour is surprisingly low at 6 AM (only 31%) — perhaps a call for more coffee and fewer alarms?
- Known to keep a cool head, their tilt factor is a low 7, showing they don't let the heat of a lost game easily cloud their genius.
Whether playing under pressure or chilling with daily games (one solitary recorded daily game at 1166 rating, but hey, everyone starts somewhere!), Quinten Ducarmon embodies the spirit of the game: calculated, relentless, and a little bit mysterious. The chessboard is their arena, and their pieces, well… they tend to dance to Quinten’s clever tune.
