Seppe De Vreesse Pieters (aka seppecena)
Meet Seppe De Vreesse Pieters, a bullet chess gladiator whose rating rollercoaster could give any theme park a run for its money! Starting with a modest bullet rating around 985 in 2014, Seppe skyrocketed to a blistering peak of 2714 by 2018. Whether blitzing or bulleting, Seppe does it with an intense passion and a dash of unpredictability.
With over 4,800 wins in bullet chess, and more games played than you'd find in a Netflix binge marathon (5,000+ just in 2017), Seppe is as relentless as they come. Their favorite opening? The Pirc Defense main line, which they wield like a seasoned wizard casting spells, boasting close to a 49% win rate in this tricky battleground.
Seppe is notorious for lengthy, grueling endgames (you can expect an average of 75+ moves per victory), proving that patience isn't just a virtue — it's a deadly weapon on the 64 squares. And don't underestimate their comeback skills: with a smashing 80% rate of bouncing back after setbacks and nearly 88% win rate after losing a piece, Seppe's motto is clearly "never say die!"
While their early resignation rate hovers around 10.75%, Seppe’s psychological resilience might wobble a little with a tilt factor of 19 — hey, nobody's perfect, even chess machines have off days. Playing mostly in the virtual hours of 7 to 9 AM and late evenings, they've been known to bewilder opponents worldwide, juggling an enticing mix of modern and classical defenses.
In the battlefield of blitz, Seppe remains sharp, crafting an impressive 54% win rate in undefined openings and a respectable 51% in the Sicilian Defense Delayed Alapin Variation. Friendly neighbor and fierce rival to many such as stellarchess and michaelq2d5, their online persona seppecena inspires a mix of admiration and healthy dread.
All in all, Seppe is not just a chess player but a chess experience – combining grit, speed, and an almost philosophical approach to chess warfare. Expect the unexpected when facing this grandmaster of the fast and furious!
