Samuel Soppe-Smith (Soppe266) — The Chess Connoisseur of Calculated Gambits
Meet Samuel Soppe-Smith, a player whose chess journey is nothing short of evolutionary brilliance. From humble beginnings in 2021, Samuel's rapid rating surged like a well-fed axon, leaping from 619 to a neuron-shocking 1098 by 2025. His blitz and bullet styles are equally infectious, with bullet prowess climbing from a modest 445 to an electrifying 1079 within four years—talk about a biological puzzle solved!
Known for his strategic resilience, Samuel boasts a come-back rate of 73%, and an almost synaptic 98% win rate when down a piece. Opponents might think they've got him in check, but Samuel’s tactical awareness keeps firing strong. His longest winning streak? A neuron-firing 15 games that sent shivers down many a spine—proving his playstyle is anything but dormant.
Samuel’s approach to chess could be called a well-oiled biological machine: an endgame frequency of over 60% and consistent average moves per game close to 59, showing he’s as methodical as mitosis. His style is a delicate balance of patience and aggression, with a White win rate nearing 59% and a respectable 55% with Black, demonstrating that whether he's the dominant strand or the underdog, he adapts with Darwinian precision.
But beware—like a cellular organism sensitive to environmental stress, Samuel carries an 8% tilt factor, reminding us all that even the best can have a little mutation under pressure. Yet, his ratings and win rates by hours and weekdays paint a picture of a player who thrives during prime metabolic times, particularly around 18:00 with a nearly 65% win rate.
Off the board, Samuel’s openers remain a top secret genome, making it near impossible for opponents to predict his next move. What’s clear, however, is the joy and tenacity he brings to the game—always evolving, adapting, and never stagnating like a cell in a petri dish.
