Profile Summary: S Poulis (spoulis1)
Meet S Poulis, a chess player whose rating graphs look a little like a roller coaster – thrilling ups, mysterious downs, and a few hair-raising loops in between. Known online as spoulis1, they’ve been battling it out across Blitz, Rapid, and even Bullet games with unmatched tenacity and just a hint of unpredictability.
Chess Journey
Starting from a respectable Blitz rating of 1350 in 2021, Poulis plunged dramatically before finding a more modest but consistent groove around 700–800 these past years. Think of it as mastering the art of humility and surprise – keeping opponents on their toes with every move.
Speed Demon on the Board
Blitz and Rapid are Poulis's playgrounds. While Blitz features a nearly even win-to-loss record (930 wins vs. 962 losses), it’s their “Top Secret” opening that keeps fans guessing – used in nearly 2,000 games with a solid 48% win rate, making it the strategic equivalent of a magician’s hat.
In Rapid games, Poulis shines slightly brighter, maintaining over a 51% win rate and even breaking a personal max rating of 1064. And if Bullet was a neighborhood sprint race, Poulis’s 40% win rate with a maximum of 1196 shows they’ve got speed, but maybe not always the stamina to finish first.
Style & Stamina
Known for patience and persistence, Poulis averages about 54 moves per win and 59 moves per loss – that’s a lot of thinking, wondering if the next move will be a chessmaster stroke or a casual “oops.” With a modest early resignation rate of just over 3%, they’re not one to give up early – even when the Queen’s gone rogue.
Their psychological resilience is notable: a tilt factor of 9 means they emotionally recover faster than you can say “checkmate,” and a comeback rate over 68% proves they might just snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. Losing material? No worries – Poulis has a perfect 100% win rate after losing a piece (seriously, talk about turning lemons into lemonade!).
When to Challenge?
Swing by on a Saturday or Tuesday, preferably between 12 PM and 2 PM, when Poulis’s win rates peak near 50-60%. But beware, their midnight games hover around 50% too – night owls, step up your game!
Notable Opponents
Poulis keeps an intriguing scorecard: some opponents like checkmatebyaccident1875 suffer a 100% loss rate, while others like tica2408 have turned the tables a bit more favorably. If you want to join this quirky dance of wins and losses, better bring your best gambit.
