Profile: ßvnty Ţwø (aka RegretYu)
Meet ßvnty Ţwø, a rapid chess warrior who battles on the 64 squares with a rating rollercoaster that's as thrilling as a knight’s wild hops across the board. Known in the online chess realm as RegretYu, this player might occasionally regret a move or two, but never the passion for the game.
Chess Journey & Stats
Starting their rapid rating journey in 2020 around 542, ßvnty Ţwø climbed the ranks to peak at 707 in mid-2021—a rating that screams “watch out!” albeit with some fluctuations since. Their gritty persistence shines through nearly 1,000 rapid games with an almost even split of wins and losses (477 wins vs 483 losses), sprinkling in 57 draws for good measure.
Blitz and bullet battles tell a similar tale: blitz peak at 623 and bullet at a sassy 306, showing their blitz skills are sharper than a bishop’s diagonal. Though bullet performance dips lower, the willingness to dive into fast-paced games is nothing short of fearless.
Playing Style & Personality
ßvnty Ţwø plays with a blend of stubborn endurance and tactical awareness. With an average of 52 moves per win in rapid, this player clearly enjoys long, strategic fights—not ones to throw in the towel quickly, as indicated by a modest early resignation rate around 12%. Their comeback skills are impressive, winning nearly 66% of games even after falling behind, showing mental toughness (and perhaps a touch of stubbornness) to bounce back.
White’s slightly better win rate (48%) compared to Black (45%) suggests ßvnty likes to make the first move count, while their overall tilt factor of 13 hints at occasional bouts of frustration—probably when they realize they've blundered a queen in blitz.
Favorite Openings
With thousands of games labeled under the enigmatic “Top Secret” opening, one might speculate ßvnty has a mysterious opening repertoire or just likes to surprise opponents with their own twists. When not shrouded in secrecy, they have dabbled successfully with the Center Game, Indian Game, and Scandinavian Defense—proving versatility is very much their game.
Recent Highlights
In one of the latest victories on May 31, 2025, playing White as RegretYu, ßvnty clinched a checkmate with a clever execution of the Indian Game—a sign their strategic plans often culminate gloriously. Though losses happen, including some checkmates by crafty opponents, it’s just fuel for the next comeback.
Off the Board
When not wrangling knights and queens, ßvnty is probably contemplating the universe’s mysteries or plotting the next time to crush opponents online. Their best time to play? 8 AM sharp, when the mind is fresh, and the coffee is strong.
So whether soaring, stumbling, or methodically plotting for the next win, ßvnty Ţwø embodies the spirit of a dedicated chess enthusiast—sometimes regretting a move, but never the love for the game.
Hi ßvnty Ţwø, here is your personalized feedback!
Quick Snapshot
• Current vibe: sharp tactician who loves dynamic play.
• Peak rating so far: 707 (2021-06-03).
• Activity trends: see
Your Super-Powers
- Killer Instinct – When you smell a mating net you go all-in (e.g. the …Qxe4# finale in your latest win). Keep polishing this tactical eye.
- Piece Activity – You rarely let your pieces nap; bishops and queens often spring out early and look for targets.
- Fighting Spirit – Even positions down material are never “lost” in your head. That resilience earned you several comeback wins.
Most Frequent Hiccups
-
Early Queen Adventures – In multiple games (e.g. 1.e4 d5 2.Qf3?!) your queen lost tempo and invited easy attacks.
Rule of thumb: bring the queen out after knights & bishops are developed. - King Safety – Skipping castling or leaving the king on e8/e1 cost you at least two games. When your rooks finally connect the middlegame is easier.
- Pawn Over-Extension – Repeated double-pawn pushes (g2-g4, h2-h4) before development created weak squares. This is a classic example of overextended structures.
- Endgame Technique – In the loss vs pond77kung you turned a drawable rook ending into mate. Study basic rook endings (Lucena, Philidor).
- Clock Management – Four recent losses were “game abandoned” or flag-outs while playable. Aim to keep ≥30 s for critical endings.
Concrete Illustrations
Good tactical sequence (from your win vs Geronimo_Senior)
Excellent exploitation of an overloaded queen followed by a zwischenzug fork.
Opening trouble (loss vs QuinnWeiss)
The queen shuffle allowed 7…Qd4 hitting everything; instead 7.d4 keeps equality.
Action Plan (Next 2 weeks)
- Solid Repertoire – Pick one response as Black to 1.e4 (suggestion: Pirc since you already dabble) and one main line as White (try the Italian Game). Stick to them for 20 games each.
- Castle by Move 10 – Make it a strict habit; if you haven’t castled by move 10, ask “why not?” before you move.
- Daily Puzzle Rush-Mini – 10-minute tactical workout focusing on forks, pins and discovered attacks to sharpen calculation under time pressure.
- Endgame Flashcards – Study one basic rook ending each day. Use the built-in practice mode on Chess.com or Lichess.
- Post-Game Journaling – After every session, jot down: (a) first critical mistake, (b) time left at that moment, (c) how to avoid it next time.
Friendly Challenges
• Try a thematic match vs ßvnty Ţwø using “castle-by-move-8” rule.
• Blindfold mate-in-2 drills – great for visualization.
• Once you hit +50 rating points, reward yourself with a new opening book!
Final Pep Talk
Your games are already exciting; adding a layer of disciplined fundamentals will push you well beyond the 600-700 range. Small, consistent tweaks beat massive overhauls—one solid opening line, early king safety, and sharper time control usage will translate into instant rating gains. Keep having fun and let me know how the next batch of games goes. Good luck!
