retecton

Profile Summary: retecton

Meet retecton, a rapid-chess tactician whose rating journey resembles the fascinating lifecycle of a chess engine booting up—starting from the humble depths of 478 in early 2024, then evolving steadily to a max rapid rating peaking at 1307, before settling around the 1100s in 2025. With nearly 1,650 rapid games under their belt, retecton shows remarkable resilience in the game’s metabolic pathways, boasting over 800 wins balanced against roughly 787 losses and a sprinkling of peaceful draws.

Like a well-adapted organism, retecton thrives predominantly in the forests of the Scotch Game, where their win rate of almost 58% reveals an infectious enthusiasm for this opening line. Other favorite habitats include the King's Pawn Opening and the Scandinavian Defense, where they display solid, if cautious, success rates—perfect camouflage against tougher opponents.

With a longest winning streak of 10, retecton proves capable of growth spurts that could rival the fastest cellular division. Despite a modest “tilt factor” of 10—a bit of occasional emotional mutation—they maintain a solid comeback rate of 68.4%, and perhaps most impressively, a perfect 100% win rate after losing a piece, a true phoenix among pawns!

Strategically, this player exhibits patience equaled only by certain slow-blooming blooms: average wins stretch over 55 moves, while losses tend to linger even longer, suggesting a preference for marathon matches over quick cellular apoptosis. Their preference for endgames is pronounced, with over 60% of their games weaving through the final phases of the game’s lifecycle.

Whether it’s the crack of dawn or the twilight hours, retecton’s performance cycles indicate peak activity around midday and the mysterious 18:00 hour, channeling the circadian rhythms of a true chess organism optimized for battle. Both white and black pieces witness respectable survival rates in retecton’s ecosystem, with white slightly favored.

Beyond stats and ratings, retecton is an evolutionary marvel in the chess biosphere: a player who adapts, learns, and thrives by turning setbacks into comebacks, proving that in the game of chess, as in biology, survival often goes to the most adaptable.
