Profile of Chess Enthusiast: S0bell
S0bell is a resilient chess battler who has experienced the wild rollercoaster that is competitive online chess ratings. Starting from a bullet rating of 845 in 2021, S0bell has shown a relentless spirit especially in blitz, where after some tough years initially full of losses, the tide turned with over 100 wins in 2025 alone.
Known for a comeback rate of 72% (yes, they make a roaring return almost three-quarters of the time!) and a perfect 100% win rate after losing a piece, S0bell certainly doesn’t go down without a fight. Early resignations happen about 12% of the time, probably the moments they realize a queen sacrifice was a little too adventurous.
S0bell's games tend to be lengthy, averaging around 58 moves per win indicating deep strategic play and a love for endgame battles, which make up 54% of their games. This player shows a fairly balanced performance whether playing as white or black, with win rates sitting around 40% in both colors.
While the win rates in rapid and daily formats leave room for some improvement, blitz chess appears to be S0bell’s battleground, despite a rocky start and a previous zero-win year back in 2022. Their longest winning streak was an impressive 9 games — probably followed by a humble brag.
Interestingly, S0bell’s strongest performances often occur on Thursdays and Tuesdays, with peak winning chances mid-afternoon to early evening. On the flip side, mornings are a bit trickier, with a tilt factor of 15 suggesting some morning coffee might be essential to avoid blunders.
Opponent-wise, S0bell has a mixed bag, holding undefeated records against several players including rogwarous and demonanos13, but some friendly rivalries with sobota32, where they win roughly two-thirds of the encounters.
In short, S0bell is a fighter, a strategist, and occasionally a hilarious blunderer who adds plenty of drama and excitement to every game. Expect a player who battles until the 58th move and then surprises you with a comeback you won’t forget.
