S-Cream

Profile: S-Cream

Meet S-Cream, a spirited chess enthusiast who’s been quietly climbing the ranks since 2017. Known for their unpredictable playing style and a solid knack for endgames (about 36% of their games reach this stage), S-Cream enjoys mixing classic theory with a dash of surprise, making every match a mini chess thriller.

Rating Journey

Starting off at a humble rating of 1085 in daily chess back in October 2019, S-Cream quickly made progress, peaking at a respectable 1264 in July 2020 for daily games. Although Blitz remains their most explosive domain, boasting a peak rating of 1526 from 2017, they show steady commitment across all time controls, including Rapid and Daily.

Playing Style & Strengths

S-Cream’s style might be best described as a rollercoaster ride: with a longest winning streak of three games, they’re no stranger to momentum, but also have endured a three-game losing streak — classic signs of a passionate competitor who plays hard and embraces the battlefield. Interestingly, they have a few psychological quirks; for instance, their “tilt factor” scores a modest 3, suggesting they’re fairly resilient under pressure.

Known for a 33% early resignation rate (sometimes admitting defeat before their knight even finishes warming up) and a 75% comeback rate after setbacks, S-Cream embodies the true fighting spirit. A white pieces specialist, their win rate with white stands tall at 83%, while black pieces games look more like experimental labs with a 37% success.

Opening Repertoire

S-Cream adores variety and isn’t shy about experimenting with openings:

• King’s Indian Defense and Queen’s Pawn Opening - Mikenas Defense in Daily games have shown mixed but promising results.
• Favorites in Blitz include gems like the Closed Sicilian and Ruy Lopez Berlin Defense, both boasting 100% win rates.
• Occasionally braves the Petrov’s Defense (hint: not their lucky charm yet).

Memorable Battles

Among their memorable victories, S-Cream’s win against CedrikTbone in July 2020 stands out — a swift daily game ending on a time victory after a clever d4 and d5 pawn push in the Mikenas Defense. Not to mention a dramatic Ruy Lopez win where they coaxed an opponent into resigning after a tense position brimming with tactical fireworks.

Losses? Sure, several. For example, the infamous war against Alfredo-Duro didn’t go in S-Cream’s favor—ending in a painful time loss during a game featuring the Petrovs Defense. But every loss is just a setup for a comeback.

Off The Board

Outside the 64 squares, S-Cream’s high win rates on Thursdays and Saturdays and dominance when playing late at night (especially around 22:00) suggests someone who thrives under the moonlight and possibly fueled by a strong cup of coffee. If chess were a sport of endurance, S-Cream would be that unpredictable underdog who keeps surprising the crowd.

In short, S-Cream is a passionate player who dances gracefully between tactical skirmishes and calculated positional battles, occasionally screaming in delight or frustration, but always ready for the next match!
