Player Profile: Shef1976zapravdu

Meet Shef1976zapravdu, a Rapid chess enthusiast navigating the thrilling rollercoaster of a 2025 chess season with a rating that soared as high as 586 in March and settled to a respectable 420 by May. Known both for their strategic persistence and an almost poetic tendency to resign early about 5.5% of the time — because who wants to drag out inevitable defeat? — Shef1976zapravdu’s style is a perfect blend of dogged endgame determination (appearing in over half their games) and tactical resilience.

While their White pieces have a slightly better luck charm (a 49.35% win rate), playing Black isn’t a bad gig either, with 45.25% wins. Games last on average 44 moves when victorious, but losses tend to linger longer — nearly 63 moves — as if holding out for just that one chance of a comeback, which happens an admirable 57.44% of the time. Even after losing a piece; this player fights on fiercely, claiming nearly 37% wins.

Recent Adventures:

In their latest escapades on the digital battlefield, Shef1976zapravdu scored a knockout mate against 00jaximus00 in a lightning-quick 4-move game, demonstrating a flair for swift tactical punches. Another recent triumph saw a game abandoned with victory over vikramkb79, thanks to an audacious midgame maneuvering — proving that sometimes, a well-timed surrender from the opponent is the best checkmate of all.

However, even the best hit rough patches. Losses have come from seasoned rivals like anuj_104 and lffsouza, reminding us all that in chess, humility keeps the queen on her toes.

Personality and Gameplay Quirks:

Early riser or midnight strategist? If there’s an ideal time to watch out for Shef1976zapravdu, it’s midnight sharp — their prime playing hour with a 75% win rate.

Tending to tilt mildly (a tilt factor of 6), this player knows the struggle of battling through tough losses and bouncing back with an impressive comeback rate. Also, while sometimes facing heavyweight opponents gets tricky (winning only 6.5% against higher-rated foes), games against lower-rated challengers are a definite confidence booster with an 85.85% win rate. Talk about reigning supreme in the underdog zone!
