And then there’s Semih6997, who’s busy juggling a rollercoaster of wins, losses, and occasional stalemates with the flair of a chess juggler. Known for their stubborn defense and knack for sneaky checkmates, Semih6997’s rated chess journey is nothing if not entertaining.

Rating Rollercoaster

Beginning in 2024, Semih6997 started at a humble rapid rating of 562, steadily climbing up to a respectable peak of 755 in November 2024 — a rating that screams “I know what I’m doing... sometimes.” With an average rapid rating hovering around 600-670 over a slew of games, this player shows striking moments of brilliance along with some humbling lessons from the chess battlefield. Daily games hover around the low 390s, proving that practice makes... practice.

Opening Gambit Glory and Grumbles

Semih6997 favors aggressive and varied openings. The Bishop’s Opening is their playground, with a solid 56.25% win rate in 16 games. Kings Pawn Opening is a favorite too, boasting a decent 58.33% victory tally across two dozen duels. However, like any real-life hero, some battles end less victorious; the Scandinavian Defense variations seem to be their kryptonite (0 wins in 7 matches), but hey, failures are just preparation for comebacks.

Psychological Warfare & Playing Style

With an average of 37 moves per win and a lengthy 51 moves per loss, Semih6997 clearly likes playing the long game — dragging opponents through strategic labyrinths before striking. They aren’t afraid to resign early when the going gets tough (approximately 12% early resignations), but they fight fiercely with a healthy 74.5% comeback rate when the odds turn against them. Tilt factor? A modest 8, which means Semih6997 occasionally throws the mouse, but mostly keeps cool.
