Meet Epi Sousse, the Rapid chess enthusiast whose rating climbed from a modest 312 up to a peak of 1106 in 2025 — not quite evolutionary-scale leaps, but impressive enough to ruffle a few pawns! With a venomous 141 wins out of 226 Rapid games, Epi's style is equal parts calculated strategy and biological adaptation, proving that even the king of the jungle can stumble if underestimated.

Playing Style & Strengths

Epi’s opening repertoire is as diverse as a coral reef's ecosystem, with notable success in the Caro-Kann Defense boasting a flawless 100% win rate. The Bird’s Opening Dutch Variation and English Opening Anglo-Scandinavian Defense both see a two-thirds win rate, demonstrating Epi’s knack for nesting strong positions early on. When it comes to endurance, Epi averages 57 moves per win, showing a preference for tactical skirmishes over quick checkmates — because sometimes, it’s all about the long game among the genes.

Survival of the Fittest

With an impressive comeback rate of over 63% and a perfect 100% victory rate after losing a piece, Epi clearly has the resilience of a cockroach in a chess arena. Early resignation is rare, at just 1.33%, highlighting the player's fighting spirit: they prefer to see the endgame through, evolving their strategy as the match unfolds.

When & How

Timing is everything! Epi thrives in the late afternoon and early evening hours, with perfect daytime win rates at noon, 2 p.m., and 3 p.m.—a prime time for synaptic firing and strategic prowess. Sundays and Tuesdays appear to be Epi’s mating season, where win rates soar to nearly 74% and 67%, respectively. Clearly, Epi's game is harmonized with the circadian rhythms of victory.
