Profile Summary: Sebastianpaul

Meet Sebastianpaul, the chess enthusiast who’s played more blitz games than most have had hot dinners — a staggering 3,523 blitz matches and counting! While his blitz rating has danced between a humble 156 and a peak of 1,200 over the years, Sebastian’s perseverance is truly the stuff of legends. With a nearly even record of 1,751 wins and 1,740 losses (plus a sprinkle of 46 draws), he’s the undisputed master of thrilling see-saw battles that keep his fans on the edge of their seats.

Sebastian’s favorite openings read like a world tour of chess theory: he boasts a solid 51% winning rate with the Van't Kruijs Opening and impresses with over 53% success in both the Queens Pawn Opening and King’s Fianchetto Opening. Clearly, he likes to surprise his opponents in the early game before launching his tactical barrage.

Beyond the openings, Sebastianpaul is a comeback wizard with a spectacular 61% comeback rate after being down, and a perfect 100% win rate after losing a piece — talk about fighting back with style! His endgames also shine brightly, featuring in over half of his games and averaging a patient 45 moves per win (because patience is a virtue, even in blitz).

But life’s not all checkmates and triumphs — Sebastian’s tilted a few times (tilt factor: 15%), and his rated games outperform casual play by nearly 50%, proving he knows how to bring his A-game when it counts. His psychological stamina is as sharp as his tactics, weathering losses and bouncing back stronger.

Recent matches have been a rollercoaster too. Just recently, he delivered a picturesque checkmate with the Bishop’s Opening, showcasing an elegant mating net in just 11 moves. Conversely, his latest loss was a tough one where time ran out, reminding us that even chess gladiators can stumble.

When does Sebastianpaul shine brightest? Turns out, chess magic happens between 2 AM and 5 AM UTC, with a win rate soaring beyond 50%, and his tactical strikes peak mid-afternoon around 2 PM to 4 PM. Clearly, the chessboard respects those quiet, contemplative hours.

In the grand tapestry of online chess, Sebastianpaul is a gritty fighter, a master of resilience, and an ever-curious tactician who reminds us that the game is as much about heart as it is about horsepower. Whether he’s surprising you with an obscure opening or grinding out an endgame dogfight, one thing is certain: Sebastian’s games are never boring.
