Sidsudred

Profile Summary: Sidsudred

Meet Sidsudred, a determined chess enthusiast whose journey through the chessboard is nothing short of an epic saga. With a peak Rapid rating just shy of 1000 (988 in November 2021) and a Blitz high of 858, Sidsudred’s rating graph looks a bit like a rollercoaster — thrilling with ups, humbling with downs, and always full of surprises.

Known for a cheeky mix of stubbornness and resilience, Sidsudred’s longest winning streak hit 8 games, and while the longest losing streak stretched to a test-of-patience 10, the spirit remained unbroken. In fact, the comeback rate is a remarkable 67%, proving that giving up is simply not in Sidsudred’s vocabulary — except maybe when the clock’s running out, as early resignations happen about 12.6% of the time (because why suffer, right?).

This player enjoys the Queens Pawn Opening and the Scandinavian Defense almost like comfort food, though results are a modest 45-47% win rate in these battles of strategy. With an endgame frequency around 58%, Sidsudred definitely prefers the long game — probably to milk every last drop of drama from the position.

When not executing sneaky gambits (the Englund Gambit even pops up now and then, winning roughly half the time), Sidsudred shows a fierce psychological edge, having the best time to play near 1 AM — the witching hour when opponents’ blunders are just more delicious. Also, playing with White or Black is practically a coin toss win-wise, hovering just over 45%.

Despite the valiant fighting spirit, the numbers reveal a player who loves to challenge rivals with a 620-669 win/loss record in Rapid and an overall more modest blitz record of 38 wins to 53 losses. Yet, Sidsudred has a selective list of opponents against whom victory is almost guaranteed (looking at you, "parkerpeterchess" and "baklolmirchi" with 100% win rates!).

Here’s the human behind the pieces: a player adjusting to the relentless tides of rating fluctuations, armed with tactical awareness (40% win rate even after losing a piece!) and deep endgame skills, who plays as much for the thrill as for the glory. And occasionally, for the memes.

Recent games illustrate Sidsudred’s fighting spirit: a swift win by resignation, a cheeky queen-side raid, and the occasional brutal checkmate. Losses sting, but they fuel the comeback fire. Whether dismantling opponents in the Queen’s Pawn Horwitz Defense or falling for a reversed Nimzowitsch variation, Sidsudred’s chess journey is a testament to passion over perfection.

In short: Sidsudred is the perfect player to watch if you love unpredictability, spirited comebacks, and the occasional blunder that makes chess both maddening and magical.
