Sebastian Foster (aka Sebbiii) - Chess Explorer Extraordinaire

Sebastian Foster, known in the chess realms as Sebbiii, is a rapid and blitz chess enthusiast whose journey through the 64 squares is as colorful as it is competitive. Despite not hitting the grandmaster ceiling just yet, Sebastian's adventure on the board is a thrilling tale of perseverance, unexpected victories, and occasional bruises from the chess battlefield.

About the Player

Since 2021, Sebbiii has been eagerly clicking the clock in many rapid and blitz battles, steadily improving and challenging opponents far and wide. With a peak rapid rating of 1197 achieved back in April 2021, and a blitz peak rating touching 995 in August of the same year, this player knows how to hold his own in fast-paced games — or at least he certainly tries, often with great gusto!

Playing Style

• Average moves per win: 55.1
• Average moves per loss: 62.4 (because endurance counts, even if the result doesn't!)
• Early resignation rate: 2.28% (some fights are just too epic to quit early)
• Prefers rapid games but excels in blitz as well
• White pieces win rate: 51.18%; Black pieces: 45.21% — clearly, Sebastian likes to start with the white pieces for that extra edge.

The Opening Repertoire

Sebbiii has a diverse opening library but shows a special love for the Top Secret line, which is mysteriously *unspecified* but certainly keeps opponents on their toes.

Other favored openings include classic and timeless choices such as the Four Knights Game - Italian Variation, Giuoco Piano variations, and the Scandinavian Defense. While some openings result in more wins than losses (like the Three Knights Opening boasting a 53% win rate), others remain a work in progress — think of it as Sebbiii’s “Zugzwang Zone.”

Record and Rivalries

Sebastian’s chess saga is packed with countless battles—7227 wins, 7247 losses, and 480 draws in blitz alone. Not bad for a player warming up their engines! His adversaries range from seasoned veterans to curious newcomers, with some lucky opponents (or maybe not) managing perfect win records against him, while others have been completely dismantled.

A few notables in his opponent hall of fame include stardrop9 (whom he has faced 4 times) and a special shoutout to malik2301, who seems to have fallen to Sebbiii’s strategic prowess more than once. Whether it’s a nail-biting checkmate or a timely time win, Sebastian’s games deliver excitement.

Memorable Matches

Recent games have shifted between thrilling victories and humbling defeats. One of his latest wins was a fast-paced “won on time” tickler against Sad_Prophet, proving that sometimes, racing the clock is your best gambit.

On the flip side, Sebbiii continues to face tough challenges, showing resilience and promising improvements in every game—after all, every grandmaster was once a beginner with a collection of clumsy moves and daring dreams.
