Profile Summary: samtri2

Meet samtri2, the spirited chess enthusiast navigating the 64 squares with a mix of tactical flair and occasional bewildering gambits. As of 2025, samtri2 has reached peak blitz and rapid ratings just shy of 760, proving they can mix speed with strategic depth (well, sometimes)!

Playing Style & Strengths

Known for a modest early resignation rate of about 9%, samtri2 isn't shy to throw in the towel when the position screams “not my day.” However, with an endgame frequency of 34%, they enjoy the thrill of pawn races and king hunts as much as anyone. Average games can stretch to 36 moves when winning, showing some perseverance, while losses tend to drag on a bit longer—maybe hoping opponent misses a blunder!

White pieces win rate: 49% – almost flipping a coin, but the black pieces see a bit less sunshine at 38%. Samtri2’s famed comeback rate is a resilient 50%, yet a piece lost tends to spell doom with just under 30% win rate afterward.

Opening Preferences

When it comes to openings, samtri2 has a fondness for classic and somewhat cheeky lines:

• Kings Pawn Opening - Kings Knight Variation: A solid 50% win rate in blitz, showing steady performance.
• French Defense (including Knight and Kings Indian Attack Variations): Used often, with mixed success—sometimes victorious, sometimes just surviving.
• Petrov's Defense Classical Variation: Another favorite with a respectable 50% blitz win rate and a stellar 100% rapid win record. Beware the sneaky knight moves!
• Scandinavian Defense: A surprising stronghold with ~67% blitz wins—clearly a weapon in samtri2's arsenal.
• Some adventurous attempts at Van t Kruijs Opening and the Italian Game have yielded solid wins in rapid too.

Performance Patterns & Streaks

Samtri2's journey has highs and lows – a longest winning streak of 5 games balanced by a tough longest losing streak of 8. Luckily, the current streak is positive, with a fresh win adding momentum just in time for the next challenge.

Most wins come when the clock chimes around 7 PM—their declared best time of day to play—and Saturday appears to be their lucky day, rocking a near 60% win rate. Meanwhile, Mondays and Fridays can be a bit gloomy, so maybe avoid snail mail or annoying emails before the game.

Notable Opponents & Rivalries

Among samtri2’s adversaries, some have proven to be nemeses (looking at you, “akmaltrombone” with a 0% win rate for samtri2), while others like “begdou” and “pramodini1234” have tasted nothing but defeats. The rivalry with “piojitogrone” includes a couple of games but sadly no wins yet.

Memorable Games

One of samtri2’s recent victories ended on a dramatic time win against begdou after a tense French Defense battle. Another notable moment was a swift game abandonment win with the King's Pawn Opening versus pramodini1234, proving sometimes it's best to leave when ahead—chess etiquette optional.

Not every day is a winner, though: a recent loss was dealt by AkmalTrombone via a sharp checkmate in Modern Defense, reminding samtri2 that every king can meet an unexpected end.

In Summary

samtri2 is the chess player who combines unpredictability with moments of brilliance, enjoys a good endgame tussle, and knows when to fold. Whether you're here for the tactical skirmishes or entertaining twists, samtri2 promises every game a story worth watching—even if that story sometimes ends with a facepalm.
