If chess were a soap opera, screeepp's games would be the riveting episodes that keep fans glued.
Playing Style & Strengths
With an average of about 50 moves per win, screeepp enjoys the strategic marathon, preferring to grind out victories through persistence rather than quick knockouts. Their endgame frequency clocks in at 46.5%, showing a comfort in long battles. Fun fact: they're more successful playing as Black (47% win rate) than White (about 46%), proving they don't mind flipping the board's psychological pressure! Known to quit early only 4% of the time, they stick around almost like a chess proverb: “When in doubt, play it out.” However, beware—their tilt factor of 10 warns that losing streaks can sting a bit, but who among us is immune?
Opening Repertoire
The great mystery in screeepp's arsenal is their "Top Secret" opening—a category so expansive it boasts 548 games with a solid 44% win rate. Beyond that enigmatic gateway, they lean on popular staples like the King's Pawn Opening and its Knight Variation, hovering around 47–49% success. And when it comes to surprise weapons, watch out for the Scotch Game and the Accelerated London System, where screeepp shines brightest with win rates over 75%! Clearly, versatility is their game, with an inclination to keep opponents guessing.
Rapid, Blitz & Bullet: The Ratings Saga

- Blitz: Flashy but limited, with only one recorded game but a suave 929 peak—talk about starting with a bang!
- Bullet: A brief affair, just three games so far, with a peek rating near 595. Clearly, screeepp is still warming up to the lightning-fast pace.
