Samuel - The Chess Maestro Known as RAZING

In the vibrant world of blitz and bullet chess, Samuel - or as his opponents dreadfully know him, RAZING - has carved a niche for himself as a fierce competitor with a flair for the English Opening and Modern Defense. With a peak blitz rating soaring up to 2457 in April 2020 and a bullet peak of 2284 the day before, this player’s performance graph looks like a rollercoaster designed by a tactical wizard.

Starting from humble beginnings in early 2020, when his blitz rating flitted between the low 1200s and just over 2400, Samuel has racked up an impressive 925 wins in blitz alone out of well over 1800 games, proving that perseverance and staying power are his secret weapons. His longest winning streak of 18 games mysteriously coincides with a period of suspiciously good coffee and an apparent aversion to sleep.

Playing Style and Strategy

Known for a susurration of moves that discombobulate even the most seasoned grandmasters, Samuel prefers the nuanced lines of the Kings Fianchetto Opening and Modern Defense, boasting win rates hovering around 50-60%. His endgame frequency is notable at 78.34%, a testament to his love of long battles where the faint hearted already surrendered. Interestingly, his average moves per win stretch close to 76 moves, so if you enjoy those marathon fights where patience is a virtue, watching Samuel’s games is a delight.

His win rate from the white side edges just above 51%, but watch out if you face him as black—he holds a slightly higher winning percentage there, making him one slippery foe regardless of the pieces you play.

Psychological Resilience

Behind the calculated moves lies a player who can handle pressure with aplomb. His comeback rate from a losing position is a dazzling 83.26%, suggesting that if you think you’ve got him on the ropes, he might just flip the board (figuratively) to your surprise. That 10% tilt factor reassures us all that Samuel is mostly zen, although perhaps a well-timed snack or coffee helps keep him balanced.

Favorite Time to Play

If you ever want to challenge him, plan your battle around 6 PM, his statistically best hour, when his win rate peaks at over 63%. By nightfall, he’s either clairvoyant or caffeinated—or maybe both!

Recent Highlights

In a recent notable victory in July 2021, Samuel displayed mastery in the English Opening - Caro-Kann Defensive System, calmly grinding down MUH4M4T to resignation after 52 grueling moves. Always a tactician, he rarely resigns early himself, boasting an impressive 0.33% early resignation rate, which is fancy talk for “he fights to the bitter end.”

Opponent Facts and Fun

Among his various rivals, Samuel has a perfect record against several opponents including muh4m4t and thatlaim, though some like studentfanda seem to hold his kryptonite, winning every recorded encounter. No worries though, with a longest losing streak of 10 games stacked somewhere in the past, it’s only a matter of time before RAZING reloads and strikes back stronger.

Summary

Samuel is a persistent, hardworking, and strategic chess player who combines deep tactical awareness with a calm competitive spirit. Whether blitzing through 18 wins in a row or clawing back from a tough loss, he epitomizes the modern chess warrior: clever, committed, and with just enough swagger to keep you guessing your next move.
