Samuel Augustine (samtine) - The Chess Cell-ebrity
Meet Samuel Augustine, a player whose chess moves are as intricate and fascinating as the finest biological cell! With a rapid rating peaking at an impressive 516 in 2025, Samuel has demonstrated a knack for quick thinking and dynamic play that’s truly "in the DNA" of chess mastery. Whether battling in Blitz or Bullet, Samuel’s games are a fascinating case study in persistence—with nearly as many wins as losses in Blitz, a real Darwinian duel unfolding move by move.
Known for favoring openings with evolutionary advantage, his Nimzowitsch Larsen Attack (Modern Variation) shows about a 61% success rate in Blitz and an even more robust 63% in Rapid—talk about survival of the fittest! He also has a special affinity for the Owens Defense, winning more than half his Blitz games using this line, proving that sometimes the lesser-known pathways are the ones that multiply his victories.
Notable for a longest winning streak of 9 games and currently riding a warm 3-game streak, Samuel’s resilience is clearly embedded in his playstyle — he’s got what you might call “tactical mitochondria,” powering his comeback rate up to nearly 52% and holding an enviable 100% win rate after losing a piece. Truly, this player knows how to regenerate and adapt under pressure.
Samuel’s playing style is a blend of strategic metabolism and thoughtful patience, with an average of 43 moves per win and a penchant for endgame precision demonstrated in over 41% of his games. His psychological tilt factor is reassuringly low at 10%, meaning he keeps his cool even when the game heats up — a steady heartbeat in the heat of battle.
A social connoisseur of the chessboard, he’s faced a diverse ecosystem of opponents, boasting 100% win rates against several rivals including pbsharon, digavor, and roberto78r. However, he’s not immune to some pesky predators, showing 0% success against a few others—proving that even top specimens have their cryptic vulnerabilities.
By day, Samuel thrives best at 9 AM, with a stellar 57% win rate, and oddly enough, he’s quite active in the wee small hours, sporting a perfect 100% at 2 AM — perhaps a real nocturnal strategist, like a chess-playing owl, prowling the board under moonlight.
In summary, Samuel Augustine is a fascinating blend of biological resilience and chess acumen — a player whose moves evolve with the game and whose strategies replicate successes with voracious appetite. Keep an eye on samtine; this chess cell is dividing greatness into every match!
