Rating & Playstyle
Reaching a peak Rapid rating of 760 in August 2024, sparking1128 has shown their skill fluctuates like a well-timed gambit — sometimes brilliant, sometimes... let’s say experimental. The player tends to favor the Rapid time control, showing a fondness for thoughtful, but paced gameplay.
With a 64.62% comeback rate, they have a knack for clawing back from tough spots. However, about 8.27% of games see an early resignation, proving that even the best sometimes know when to cut losses and plan a dazzling return in the next match.
Average moves per game hover around 55, showcasing a preference for substantial battles that test endurance and positional understanding.
Opening Preferences
Fierce and flexible, sparking1128 enjoys a broad opening repertoire. Favorites include:
- King's Pawn Opening – a reliable classic with a nearly 50% win rate.
- Modern Defense – where bold counter-attacks keep opponents guessing.
- Queen's Pawn Opening – showing strategic patience and depth.
- Van't Kruijs Opening – a somewhat rare weapon with an impressive 55% win rate.
Less successful adventures include the tricky Scandinavian Defense Mieses-Kotrc Variation, proving even grandmasters-in-the-making sometimes meet their nemesis.
Notable Records & Rivalries
Sparking1128 has tangled with numerous foes, holding a nearly balanced Rapid record of 618 wins, 629 losses, and 74 draws. Yet, a charming quirk is their perfect recent record against many opponents like webocosido, jspnoushk, and plmko18 — a true streak of dominance worth noting!
On the flip side, opponents such as arianagrande2343 and doghattrick remind us that every chess hero has their Achilles' heel.
Play Patterns & Quirks
Surprisingly, sparking1128’s best hour to steamroll opponents is around 8 AM — an early bird with a sharp mind! Beware trying to catch them yawning at 11 AM, where their win rate humorously dips to zero.
This player loves endgames (~54% frequency) and isn’t shy about forcing resignations—433 times they’ve successfully pushed opponents to surrender before the final checkmate. But when the kill comes, it comes: over 239 checkmate wins showcase the knack for finishing with flair.
The Last Battles
Recent triumphs include a strategic masterpiece against webocosido, where sparking1128 expertly navigated the Queens Gambit Accepted - Accelerated Mannheim Variation to victory through a tense endgame.
And while not invincible, even the best have their off days—recent losses against fierce competitors like arianagrande2343 demonstrate that in chess, every game is a new adventure.
Summary
Whether you’re looking for a worthy adversary or a study in persistence, sparking1128 embodies the spirit of a true chess warrior. A blend of risk-taking, resilience, and occasional early quits make this player your friendly neighborhood unpredictability on the board.
