SSB2188

Profile Summary: SSB2188

Meet SSB2188, a dedicated Rapid chess player on a rollercoaster journey through the 64 squares! Starting with a modest rating of 985 in mid-2024, SSB2188 boldly peaked at a respectable 1116 in early 2025 before taking an adventurous deep dive to ratings around 450. Clearly, this player embodies the spirit of “sometimes you win, sometimes you learn” — and then loses a few more games for good measure.

Known for an intoxicating mix of tactical flair and occasional premature resignations (19.79% early resignation rate), SSB2188’s style suggests a fearless attitude: why drag out a lost cause when you can spice things up with a quick exit? Yet despite some setbacks, this player boasts a commendable longest winning streak of 10 games and is no stranger to intense battles, averaging around 38 moves in wins and 37 moves in losses.

Openings? SSB2188 shows intriguing preferences. The Scandinavian Defense stands out as the most successful choice with a win rate over 54%, alongside the favorites Bishop's Opening and Vienna Game which keep things lively at 55-60% win rates. The opponents beware! However, ventures into the Nimzowitsch Defense and some Leonardis Variations tend to be less kind, often ending in frustration and early resignations.

Playing mostly Rapid games, SSB2188 prefers afternoon and early morning battles, with the best results often scored around 7 AM — perhaps fueled by coffee or sheer grit. The player’s resilience shines in comebacks, boasting a 61.44% comeback rate after losing material, proving never to count this warrior out too soon.

Psychologically, the tilt factor sits at a manageable 12%, so expect some emotional rollercoasters but nothing too reckless. SSB2188 shines brightest against lower-rated opposition with a win rate almost 75% there — the classic stratagem of “beat the underdogs, survive the titans.”
