Profile Summary: sarumat

Meet sarumat, a tenacious chess warrior navigating the vast battlefield of online chess with a rating rollercoaster that would make even the most daring thrill-seeker jealous. From humble beginnings with a rapid rating hovering in the low 300s at the end of 2020, sarumat quickly proved they're no one-move blunder kind of player. By early 2022, they had cracked a solid rapid peak rating of 795 — no small feat in the world of virtual pawns and knights!

Style and Strategy

Sarumat’s opening repertoire is as eclectic as a buffet, but their greatest successes come from the Polish Opening, boasting nearly 50% win rate over more than 350 rapid games. They also dabble intriguingly in the Queen’s Pawn and Scandinavian Defense, proving they're not afraid to surprise opponents or walk the less beaten path. Their preferred weapon? An average of 51 moves per win suggests a love for long strategic battles rather than quick skirmishes — chess marathons, not sprints.

The Comeback Kid

If there's a trait that defines sarumat, it's their uncanny resilience. With a comeback rate nearing 70%, this player often turns near-defeat into victory, refusing to let a lost piece or a shaky position dampen their spirit. Sure, sometimes the losses sting (an 11.31% early resignation rate reveals a healthy respect for futility), but sarumat never quits the fight without making the opponent sweat.

Peak Moments and Not-So-Peak Moments

Every great story has ups and downs, and sarumat’s ratings graph reads like a gripping novel with surprising twists. After soaring to their peak in early 2022, there’s been a slow but steady descent in rapid rating, currently sitting around mid 500s to low 600s. They clearly know that just like in chess, sometimes you have to sacrifice a pawn to win the game — or at least to keep your sanity.

Playing Times & Peculiar Habits

Intriguingly, sarumat's best time for chess mastery is surprisingly early in the morning around 5 AM — while the rest of us are still blaming our beds for our procrastination. Their win rates spike notably on Sundays (52.7% win rate), with a special knack for afternoon and evening play between 13:00 and 19:00. Also, watch out for their 100% win rate during the mysterious 5 AM hour — some would say they play better as the birds sing.

Recent Battles

Recently, sarumat scored a flashy victory using the Modern Defense against Szymek_1996, winning by an abandoned game after establishing a fortified position. However, no knight’s journey is without bumps; sarumat's latest loss was a rapid game lost on time — clearly, even the best sometimes run out of battery or the clock gets the better of them.

Opponent Rivalry & Performance

Facing opponents multiple times, steno86 has proven a tough nut with only a ~29% win rate over 7 games. Yet, sarumat enjoys impressive 100% records against numerous players – proving that sometimes, the magic happens. And if you ever want to test your mettle, be warned: sarumat’s not just a player, but a psychological rollercoaster for their rivals with a tilt factor of 11 — keep calm and watch your back!

Final Thoughts

In a pixelated world of rooks, bishops, and queen sacrifices, sarumat stands as a persistent strategist and tenacious competitor. Whether they’re storming the board with unorthodox openings or staging epic comebacks, one thing’s clear: this player embodies the spirit of chess — calculated risk, moments of brilliance, and the willingness to push through even a tide of losses with the hope of another winning streak. So next time you face sarumat, bring your best moves — because this player loves a good fight, and they sure love to come back from the brink.
