Profile Summary: ste603
Meet ste603, a resilient battlefield commander of the chessboard who prefers the rapid pace where the clock ticks as fast as their wit. Starting at a modest Rapid rating of 334 back in early 2021, ste603 skyrocketed to a peak of 779 in February 2023—proof that with enough passion (and probably a pile of coffee), even the underdog can rise to terrifying heights.
Not one for bullet chess bulletproof suits (peak rating a humble 255), ste603 clearly loves the art of measured tactical warfare over the frantic blitz. With over 1,000 rapid games logged, they boast a hardworking warrior’s record: 544 wins, 516 losses, and a handful of draws. It’s a vigorous rollercoaster of battles, and ste603 seems to enjoy every twist and turn.
Known for bold and somewhat cheeky openings, ste603’s favorite playground is the Queen's Pawn Opening, especially the Zukertort Chigorin Variation, where they maintain a formidable winning rate north of 60%, even soaring to 75% with the Zukertort Variation. They’ve flirted with gambits like the Englund and Blackmar-Diemer, proving a taste for strategic spice.
Their games average around 53 moves to victory, suggesting that ste603 enjoys the grind and the glue-it-to-the-board marathon. With a comeback rate of 74% after losing material, this player isn’t shy to claw back from the brink — an admirable trait for a chess gladiator. However, a tilt factor of 25% indicates that when the games don’t go their way, emotions might sneak in—because hey, even chess warriors have their off-days!
Favorites to open with? The classic "e4" and "d4" moves dominate, but ste603 tends to keep opponents on their toes with less conventional variations sprinkled throughout their repertoire.
When to catch ste603 at their best? Early mornings around 7 AM seem to be their prime hunting hours, especially on Wednesdays and Mondays, where their win rates hover above 50%. Avoid facing them on Fridays, rumored to be their 'chess siesta' day with a win rate dipping below 44%.
Legendary Moments
One cannot forget ste603's recent rapid victory that took only three moves — yes, three — with a cheeky queen sortie leading to an early resignation. Opponent never saw it coming!
Even losses tell a story; with a 25-game losing streak somewhere between here and there, ste603 shows patience and persistence, coming back stronger each time.
