Profile: Simon2704 - The Cunning Chess Enthusiast
Simon2704 is a spirited chess player whose journey on the 64 squares is a rollercoaster of epic wins, some humbling defeats, and a few moments of comedic chess blunders (don’t we all have those?). Starting with blitz ratings peaking at 2051 way back in 2011, Simon’s game matured over years of intense play across all time controls: blitz, bullet, rapid, and daily chess.
Rise Through the Ranks
Simon’s rapid rating climbed steadily, with a spectacular leap in 2024 reaching a max of 1833! Bullet chess showcases his quick reflexes, with a killer high rating of 1880 in 2019, proving that lightning-fast moves and brainpower aren’t mutually exclusive for this player. Blitz play remains a stronghold with highs around 2055, showcasing a love for rapid-fire tactical duels.
Victories, Strategies & Style
Famous for deploying the Alekhine's Defense Scandinavian Variation—winning over 70% of his rapid games with it—Simon clearly has a taste for the unorthodox and sneaky. His favorite openings often leave opponents wondering if he’s playing chess or chess-in-disguise. With an average game lasting roughly 52 moves in wins, and a penchant for endgames (played in over 51% of games), Simon is not just about quick wins but strategic endurance.
Tactical Wizardry & Mental Fortitude
Simon’s comeback rate is an impressive 61.83%—he thrives under pressure! Even after losing a piece, his win rate skyrockets to nearly 97%. This shows that giving up early is obviously not in his playbook. That said, Simon has a tilt factor of 13, meaning like the rest of us, there are moments when chess rage flares up (just maybe not too often). Early resignations are rare, happening less than 10% of the time, which proves he likes to fight till the last pawn falls.
When to Catch Him Playing
If you want to challenge Simon, your best bet is on a Tuesday or Thursday, when his win rates soar above 60%, or during evening hours around 10 pm and later where his win rate hilariously hits 100% (did someone say midnight genius?). Morning games also bring out his best with strong performances between 8 am and 11 am.
Opponent Highlights
Simon has amassed victory after victory against many players, boasting a 97% win rate against “daria2021” and perfect scores against others like “gpkhomyak” and “moplachko.” Alas, even Simon has nemeses—“konrad10schach” punishes him sometimes, holding Simon to just a 37% win rate in their encounters.
Simon in a Nutshell
Whether he’s blitzing through a crazy tactical melee, outsmarting foes in rapid, or carefully thinking through daily games, Simon2704 is the epitome of a dedicated chess player with a splash of flair and dash of stubborn fighting spirit. A player you want on your side or across the board—but never underestimated, because Simon always has a trick up his sleeve.
