Profile Summary: Parthiban M. (smilepar)

Meet Parthiban M., known around the chessboards as smilepar – a player whose journey through the 64 squares is a wild ride filled with thrilling wins, painful losses, and the occasional dramatic resignation.

Early Days and Style

Starting back in 2011, smilepar quickly made a splash with peak blitz ratings soaring to 1404 and daily games peaking at 1200. Though rapid games haven’t always been their best friend, with a peak of 1038, this warrior of the pawn storms hasn’t backed away from a challenge.

Playing Style & Fun Facts

  • Average moves per win hover around 44, proving that smilepar prefers a strategic battle, rather than quick tactical fireworks.
  • Early resignation rate is a spicy 11%, so don’t be surprised if smilepar skips the drawn-out suffering when the position sours.
  • With a comeback rate of 62.4%, this player’s spirit is as unbreakable as a stubborn pawn chain.
  • Black pieces don’t scare smilepar much, with a respectable 42% win rate, which is just shy of their white success.

Favorite Openings

Our hero dances with the King’s Pawn Opening most frequently, sporting a solid 60% win rate in rapid and respectable games in blitz. Other go-to choices include the Alekhine’s Defense (which boasts a mischievous 66.67% rapid win rate) and the Caro-Kann Defense, something for the chess purists out there.

A Tale of Recent Battles

Just recently, smilepar clinched a lightning victory against Hoevan with an aggressive early queen sortie: 1. e4 b6 2. Qh5 g6 3. Qf3 Bg7 4. e5 e6 5. Qxa8!! – a bold queen grab that ended in a swift resignation.

But the struggle is real: a tough loss against gregou1991 slipped away on time, a heartbreaker that demonstrates the high-octane nature of online blitz chess.

Opponents and Rivalries

Amongst frequent foes, sarathy2 stands out with 20 encounters and an impressive ~85% win rate – a rivalry for the ages on the virtual battlefield. For those curious, you can check the profile of sarathy2 to witness this rivalry firsthand.

Feedback for Parthiban M.

You've demonstrated strong tactical awareness and an aggressive playing style, as seen in your recent games where you capitalized on early queen activity and exploited opponent inaccuracies effectively. Your use of early queen maneuvers such as Qh5 and moves like Qxa8 show good initiative and willingness to seize opportunities.

Strengths:

  • Initiative and Tactical Play: You often launch early active threats that unbalance opponents, showcasing sharp tactical vision.
  • Exploiting Opponent Mistakes: You convert inaccuracies into material advantages quickly and decisively.
  • Endgame Technique: Your games reflect a good understanding of finishing strong after gaining an advantage.

Areas to Improve:

  • Opening Variety and Soundness: Many of your games start with early queen checks (e.g., 2.Qh5) which can be double-edged. While effective against less prepared opponents, this approach can backfire against stronger players. Consider expanding your opening repertoire for more solid and flexible play.
  • Positional Understanding: Focus on developing pieces and controlling the center instead of bringing out the queen too early, which sometimes leads to loss of tempo.
  • Time Management: In some games, you won on opponent time, but also lost a few on time. Managing your clock better will allow you to think more deeply in critical moments.
  • Defensive Skills: Observe the losses where you faced checkmate or were overwhelmed in the midgame, and try to identify defensive resources or prophylactic moves to avoid getting into difficult positions.

Next Steps:

  1. Study classic opening principles and practice developing minor pieces and castling early before launching queen attacks.
  2. Analyze your losses to recognize patterns where your position deteriorates, and learn how to reinforce weak squares and improve your pawn structure.
  3. Train with puzzles focused on defense and calculation under time pressure to enhance your resourcefulness during tough positions.
  4. Review some of your most successful games and identify critical moments where you gained a decisive advantage, aiming to replicate that pattern.

Overall, your tactical sharpness is a strong foundation. Strengthening your opening strategy and defensive resilience will greatly enhance your consistency and confidence in longer, more challenging games.
