SSSSSKING

SSSSSKING: The Relentless Rook of Rapid Chess

Meet SSSSSKING, a chess warrior whose journey through the rapid ranks is a tale of perseverance, strategic blunders, and occasional brilliance. With a peak rapid rating of 1349 achieved in March 2023, SSSSSKING has traversed the rollercoaster of Elo points like a true gladiator of the 64 squares.

Early Career & Playing Style

Preferring the King's Pawn Opening, SSSSSKING has played 68 games in this classic, winning nearly 46% of them — a testament to their decent opening theory knowledge mixed with bouts of fiery creativity. Their highest win rate, however, comes from the Center Game, boasting a stellar 83.33% success. Meanwhile, the French Defense Normal Variation surprises opponents with its 80% win rate when they decide to venture there. Clearly, SSSSSKING likes mixing solid fundamentals with occasional curveballs.

Strengths & Tactical Awareness

Never one to give up easily, SSSSSKING is a comeback king with a comeback win rate of 76.4% after losing material. Their resilience shines through as they keep fighting, even when a piece goes missing, winning over 37% of such battles. Despite a modest average of 55 moves in victories, their games tend to be gritty, with losses dragging on to nearly 62 moves — probably contemplating one more piece sacrifice or a sneaky trap before conceding the inevitable.

Psychological Quirks & Tilt Factor

With a tilt factor of 7, SSSSSKING occasionally succumbs to the emotional swings inherent in online chess. But their best time of day to play? A perfect 100% win rate at noon — so if you're ever facing them, maybe avoid scheduling a lunch match! Also, rapid games see a 41% higher winning rate over casual matches, proving that when it matters (or at least in rated battles), SSSSSKING brings the fire.

Recent Battles & Notable Moments

In a recent rapid clash against tasneemalmajd48, SSSSSKING secured a victory by resignation after a well-fought battle in the Nimzowitsch-Larsen Attack (Modern Variation) — a bit of a modern twist for our King's Pawn enthusiast. On another occasion, against NukeRhymesWithGrug, SSSSSKING dazzled by forcing a resignation utilizing the classic King's Pawn Opening, showing they still respect the fundamentals.

Opponent Matchups

Some foes like pardox786 and esensultanov have been tough nuts, with SSSSSKING yet to snag a win, but there's a lengthy list of players to whom SSSSSKING hands out defeats generously — boasting perfect or near-perfect records against many, including francescacchi01, shawlkeh, and jomy248. It’s a mixed bag of nemeses and easy prey — but hey, variety is the spice of chess life!

Final Thoughts

With a longest winning streak of 8 games and a losing streak that once stretched to 7, SSSSSKING embodies the true spirit of a dedicated player: sometimes on a hot streak, other times surviving a cold winter on the board. And with an early resignation rate under 5%, it’s clear they usually fight to the last move — or at least until the timer’s about to run out.

Whether you see them grappling in complicated middlegames or bravely defending inferior positions, this player remains an engaging presence in the online rapid arena — a SSSSSKING who rules not just the board, but also the tumultuous waves of wins, losses, and draws.
