Schmitt357: The Chess Adventurer

Schmitt357 is the kind of player who treats chess like an epic journey —with all the ups, downs, and unexpected twists one might expect from an adventure story. Specializing in Rapid, this fearless tactician has battled through nearly 1,700 rapid games, snagging 802 wins with relentless determination and occasionally suffering 798 losses (because hey, every hero has their plot twists).

Starting from humble beginnings, Schmitt357’s rating in Rapid started around 244 in late 2023 and soared impressively to a peak of 497 in June 2024, proving that hard work sometimes (ok, often) pays off. Those peaks offer a glimpse of raw potential, while the valleys remind us all that even heroes face challenges.

In addition to the rapid battleground, Schmitt357 dabbles in Daily, Blitz, and Bullet formats, showcasing a versatile style. Daily games show a peak rating of 648, a rarefied air where only the most patient and strategic thrive, while Blitz and Bullet highlight moments of wild speed and daring—ranging from a bullet peak rating of a spicy 622 to the occasional blunder-fueled loss (we won’t mention those!).

Opening Repertoire: The Playbook of a Grand Schemer

The Kings Pawn Opening is Schmitt357’s trusty steed, galloping through over 430 rapid games with nearly a 50% win rate, while the Queen’s Pawn and the Vienna Game show off a flair for variety and a penchant for multi-dimensional play. The Van ’t Kruijs Opening even brings a surprise factor, boasting the highest win rate in Schmitt357’s repertoire at over 56%.

Moments of Glory

While losses and wins dance a delicate tango, Schmitt357 doesn’t shy away from tactical fireworks, as seen in famous games concluding by checkmate with flair—like the swift 7-move checkmate via the Kings Pawn Opening or complex endgames where patience is key. Currently riding a modest losing streak of two, this warrior is gearing up for the next big comeback with a formidable 66.5% comeback success rate.

Playing Style: A Bit Patient, A Bit Bold

With average winning games lasting around 48 moves, Schmitt357 demonstrates a love for complexity and endurance, capturing the first piece around move 7 and engaging in endgames almost half the time. The win rates for White and Black hang close at around 49% and 48% respectively, showing true chess ambidexterity.

Psychological Profile

Schmitt357 battles more than just opponents—temper is tested, with a tilt factor of 9 out of 10 suggesting chess can sometimes be an emotional rollercoaster. The best time to challenge this grand strategist? Apparently at 8 AM, when the mind is sharpest and the pieces line up like willing soldiers.
