Profile Summary: Satchmo1770

Meet Satchmo1770, a chess aficionado whose journey on the 64 squares has been nothing short of a rollercoaster ride. From humble beginnings with a blitz rating of 650 in 2021 — yes, just one game that surely involved more guesswork than grandmaster-level strategies — they've evolved into a formidable player competing with ratings peaking at a striking 983 in blitz, almost touching the grandmaster limelight in the rapid format at a peak of 1061.

While Satchmo1770 might still have a love-hate relationship with bullet chess (peaking just shy of 1000 at 995), their daily game performances are definitely where they shine brightest — cracking a remarkable 1124 rating and showing a penchant for steady, strategic play. If chess were a video game, they'd be the player who enjoys the campaign mode but can still nail a crazy speed run when needed.

With an average of 61 moves per winning game and strong endgame skills (engaged in 54% of their games), Satchmo1770 is patient — demanding the utmost respect from those who try to outwait them on the board.
But don't mistake patience for lack of aggression; their comeback rate is a whopping 71.65%, showing resilience when the tides turn, though they admit to an occasional tilt with a "Tilt Factor" of 16 — even chess players have their off days when the pawns rebel!
