Christophe Claverie - International Master of Chess

Meet Christophe Claverie, a chess warrior with the prestigious title of International Master bestowed by FIDE. Known in the online world as soupeOchoux, Christophe’s chess journey is a fascinating adventure of tactical prowess, blundering less than usual, and a rather stubborn refusal to resign early (only 0.66% early resignations – perfectionists would be proud!).

From Novice to Blitz Beast

Christophe's blitz rating skyrocketed over the years, starting humbly at 1391 in 2013 and then swiftly ascending to a peak blitz rating of 2635 in 2022. Not one to shy away from fast-paced, adrenaline-filled games, he amassed over 3,000 blitz games with a solid win rate hovering around 57%. Quick decisions? Check. A strategic mind? Double check.

The Rapid and Bullet Maestro

When it comes to rapid chess, Christophe dazzled the board with a high win rate of 75%, reaching a max rating of 2554 in 2022. Bullet chess? Oh yes, he’s there too with a respectable max rating of 2530 and a fighting 76% win rate. This guy doesn’t just play chess; he blitzes through defenses like a tactical hurricane.

Style and Substance

With an average game length of about 70+ moves in victories, Christophe clearly loves a good battle that tests endurance and deep endgame knowledge. In fact, he reaches endgames in nearly 80% of his games – because why rush to checkmate when you can savor the sweet pain of a long fight? His comeback rate is an astonishing 87.43%, and if he loses a piece, don’t bet against him – his win rate after losing a piece is a perfect 100%. Talk about turning the tables!

The Opponent Whisperer

Facing thousands of challengers from “esp-918” to “deepfear,” Christophe has notable rivalries and wins against many, including an impressive 100% win rate against some frequently faced opponents. Whether they're slow and steady or aggressively tricky, he always finds a way to outmaneuver them.

Chess and Humor

Outside the battlefield of 64 squares, Christophe’s tilt factor of 7 suggests he keeps his cool most of the time – with a little flair for dramatic frustration here and there (hey, even grandmasters are humans!). Though his winning streak maxed at an epic 18 games, currently he might be strategizing his next big run while laughing at his own blunders.

In Summary

Christophe Claverie – International Master, tactical genius, blitz warrior, and occasional cheeky tactician – embodies the true spirit of chess: strategy, patience, and a touch of madness. Whether you catch him playing bullet at lightning speed or grinding through a marathon endgame, one thing’s for sure: this player doesn’t just move pieces, he tells stories.
