Profile Summary: Shemar5855
Meet Shemar5855, a rapid and relentless chess warrior whose moves often come faster than you can say “checkmate!” Juggling Bullet, Blitz, and Rapid games like a multi-tasking grandmaster-in-training, Shemar5855 has a playful yet fierce approach to the 64 squares.
Rating Journey & Style
From a humble starting Rapid rating near 232 in early 2025, Shemar5855 skyrocketed to a peak of 433 by May 2025 – not bad for a few months of chess magic! Blitz play is no less exhilarating, peaking at a solid 405, while Bullet battles reached a fiery 390. Daily chess? Well, that’s all about keeping the brain sharp, holding steady at 350.
Preferred time control? Bullet—because if you can’t blitz your opponent, can you really call it chess? With an average game lasting around 48 moves, Shemar5855 enjoys a good battle, rarely rushing to resign early (only about 13.7% of losses by resignation), and is known for a strong endgame presence (43.6% of games reach that stage).
Opening Repertoire: Gambits, Defenses & Surprises
This player loves a good gambit and defense hybrid dance. The Englund Gambit is their playground, boasting a 70% win rate in Rapid. The Caro-Kann Defense and its variations also hold a special place in their opening toolkit—fairly balanced but deadly when properly executed. Meanwhile, the infamous Scandinavian Defense is tackled with mixed success—30% win rate in Rapid but watch out for the “Mieses Kotrc Variation” where things get tricky with zero wins so far!
Battle Record & Psychology
Across all time controls, Shemar5855 maintains a competitive edge, teetering comfortably near a 50% win rate in Rapid games (59 wins to 58 losses) despite facing a ruthless string of losses sometimes (longest losing streak: 8 games). The comeback rate? An impressive 72.3%—these are moves made by a fighter who refuses to throw in the towel.
Timing is everything, and Shemar5855 seems to shine brightest at 18:00 hours (6 PM), where the win rate soars over 66%. Perhaps that’s the magical hour for tactical brilliance or just when opponent alertness dips—either way, it’s Shemar5855’s prime time.
Notable Victories & Opponents
Shemar’s record against opponents shows some fierce rivalries and some sweet victories—absolute domination against users like ladoppiavuh, iraacis, and teguhhhh16 with a 100% win rate. And while some like aimlow7 seem to hold a personal grudge (0% win rate there), every loss is just fuel for the next comeback.
Memorable Game Highlight
In a recent Rapid game on June 4, 2025, Shemar5855 showcased exquisite tactical awareness in the Nimzowitsch Defense - Kennedy Variation: executing a swift and punishing counterattack with brilliant timing, forcing an unexpected resignation from the opponent after just 9 moves. That’s not just chess; that’s poetry in motion on a checkered stage.
In Conclusion
Whether grinding through Bullet chaos or taking a deep Rapid breath, Shemar5855 blends strategic depth with opportunistic tactics and an almost superhero-like resilience. Chess fans should keep an eye on this username; the journey promises thrills, spills, and perhaps a few surprise checkmates.
Hi Shemar5855! Here’s some personalized coaching based on your recent games.
1. Quick snapshot
- Current level: mid-300s blitz/rapid.
- Best recorded peak so far: 405 (2025-04-28).
- Typical style: fast, tactical, very aggressive in the opening.
2. What you’re already doing well
- Open games: You usually start with 1.e4 and steer play into open positions, exactly the right environment to practise tactics.
- Piece activity: You often bring out bishops and knights quickly and aim them at the enemy king (e.g., 5.Bg5 and 8.Bg5 in your wins).
- Quick tactical eye: When a loose piece appears (8…Bxb2? 9.Bxd8!), you spot it instantly.
- Time management: You rarely get into time trouble; most moves are played with > 8 minutes left.
3. Biggest improvement opportunities (highest impact first)
-
Avoid early queen adventures
Loss vs jflores97 shows how 3…Qxd4? became a target and cost you the game after Qe5+.
Key idea: Develop minor pieces first, then the queen. Make at least two minor-piece moves before touching the queen in the Scandinavian.
Illustration: -
Finish development & castle before attacking
Your loss to AimLow7 followed 10…exf3+ 11.gxf3 Nxe5 where Black never castled and the king stayed in the centre.
Rule of thumb: Complete development (all pieces out, king safe) before launching pawn storms or queen sorties. -
Limit “one-piece-twice” moves in the opening
Example: 5…Bb4 6.Nc3 6…Bd7 12…Bb4 (same bishop three times). Each extra move costs a tempo you could spend on development. -
Scan for opponent threats every move – ask “what changed?”
In several resignations you hung pieces to simple forks or pins. Build the habit: after opponent moves, look at all their new captures, checks, and threats. -
Resilience
Three recent games ended by early resignation/abandonment in equal or unclear positions. Play on! You’ll win tons of games at this level by simply staying in and fighting.
4. Two-week training plan
- Day 1-3: 15 minutes/day of basic tactics (mate-in-1, forks, pins). Focus term links: fork, pin.
- Day 4-7: Play 10 games of “castle by move 8” challenge. Force yourself to castle even if you must delay an attack.
- Day 8-10: Pick one black opening versus 1.e4 (either the classical Scandinavian with 2…Qxd5 or the Pirc) and learn the first six moves so you never improvise early queen moves.
- Day 11-14: Post-game routine: after every game replay the first 15 moves and label each move good/bad in your own words. Takes 5 minutes but accelerates learning.
5. Motivation corner
“Great tactics flow from great piece activity.” You already seek tactics; polish the setup (safe king, full development) and your rating will climb quickly.
6. Your progress at a glance
Good luck, have fun, and remember: every move is a new puzzle. 😉
