Profile Summary: sofbw
Meet sofbw, a chess warrior whose journey through the 64 squares is as spirited as it is unpredictable! With an eclectic blend of blitz, bullet, rapid, and daily games under their belt, sofbw refuses to be pigeonholed into one style, embracing the chaos of chess in all time controls.
Rating Rollercoaster
Their peak rapid rating boasts an impressive 921, achieved in August 2024—clearly the realm where their strategic wizardry shines brightest. Bullet and blitz ratings hover around the mid-600s and 600s, respectively, suggesting a quick thinker who thrives under pressure but occasionally finds the knight on their doorstep! Daily rating, a modest 357, hints that sometimes short games are the name of the game for sofbw.
Playing Style & Personality
Known for a comeback rate of nearly 63%, sofbw rarely throws in the towel without a fight. Their average winning game stretches close to 49 moves, a testament to their endurance, while losses tend to be slightly quicker – perhaps they like to keep things spicy. The early resignation rate of about 5.5% shows that if sofbw senses trouble early, they’re not shy about bowing out gracefully to save their energy for the next battle.
Interestingly, the psychological tilt factor stays relatively low at 11, which means sofbw keeps their cool even when pawns start flying and kings are under siege. Their best chess comes around 9 PM, so maybe they’re secretly a nocturnal grandmaster in disguise?
Favorite Openings
A fan of classical theory with a twist, sofbw’s preferred weapons in blitz include the King’s Pawn Opening and the Italian Game, where they maintain win rates above 50%. The Petrov’s Defense Classical Variation is a notable highlight, boasting a stellar win rate of nearly 65%—a move that says, "I play solid, but I play to win." Their bullet play shows a love for daring and swift tactics like the Giuoco Piano Center Attack, undefeated in their brief 2-game sample, and the Mieses Opening Reversed Rat Variation — because who doesn’t love a chess opening with a name that sounds like a mythical creature?
Memorable Battles
sofbw does have a penchant for dramatic finishes. Take their recent triumph over Tcrip, where a sharp sequence involving a sneaky pawn sacrifice led to a swift and elegant checkmate in less than 20 moves. But the road isn’t always smooth; losses to opponents like Agnyeel illustrate that sofbw is not immune to the wily traps of the Pirc Defense.
