Profile Summary: Somo Danus
Somo Danus, also known in the chess circles simply as Somo, is a resilient and unpredictable chess adventurer whose journey across the 64 squares could be best described as a rollercoaster with more ups and downs than a rook on a mission. Starting out in 2008 with a modest daily rating hovering around 1172, Somo quickly climbed the ranks, peaking at a solid 1619 in 2009 and dazzling opponents with a bullet rating spike of 1400 by 2010. Though the ratings sometimes dipped (a reminder that chess, like life, isn’t always a smooth ride), Somo never lost the spark — boasting a longest winning streak of 12 games that would make any chess engine blink twice.
When it comes to playing style, Somo is not one to give up without a fight, resigning early only about 17% of the time, and showing considerable endurance with an average of 42 moves per win and nearly 60 moves per loss. This signals a player who battles deep into the endgame, a phase they reach over half the time they play. White or black, Somo maintains a steady winning rate near 37%, revealing a steady hand on both sides of the board.
True tactical prowess shines through Somo's fearless comebacks — boasting a 50% comeback rate and a jaw-dropping 100% win rate after losing a piece, turning what looks like disaster into triumph with the swagger of a true chess gladiator. Psychological resilience is noticeable, despite a tilt factor of 28, suggesting that even when the chips fall, Somo is ready to reload and fight another round.
Opening Repertoire Highlights
- Daily Games: Loves the classic King’s Pawn Opening with a respectable 35% win rate, dipping into the tricky Leonardis Variation where the win rate notably improves to 50%.
- Bullet Games: Somo’s favorite is again the King’s Pawn Opening, carving out a superb 58% win rate – lightning-fast decision making seems to be their forte.
- Surprise Choice: Who knew? A perfect score with the Englund Gambit in blitz shows a flair for the unorthodox and keeping opponents on their toes.
Somo plays their best chess mostly on Fridays and mornings around 9 and 10 AM, claiming win rates above 45%, proving that whether night owl or early bird, timing is everything. Facing familiar foes like matmar and gfour, Somo holds steady, often tipping the scales in their favor – particularly shining against long-standing rivals like roweboatdr with a 93% win rate.
In sum, Somo Danus is a chess player who embodies grit, unpredictable brilliance, and enough comic relief in their highs and lows to remind us all that chess is a journey full of surprises — sometimes you’re the king, sometimes you’re just another pawn, but it’s the game that counts. Somo’s next move? Probably a cheeky gambit or an unexpected queen sacrifice – only the board knows!
