Profile Summary: steevehyf

Meet steevehyf, the chess enthusiast who approaches the 64 squares with a mix of tenacity and a sprinkle of humor. Starting out in 2021 with a rapid rating around 770, steevehyf has seen the rollercoaster of the chess world firsthand, reaching peaks close to 970 in rapid but also bravely tackling the occasional rating dips like a true warrior.

His preferred battleground appears to be Rapid, where nearly 4,300 games have been played with a nearly 48.5% win rate — enough to keep opponents on their toes but still leaving room for exciting comebacks. Speaking of comebacks, steevehyf boasts an impressive 66.8% success rate in turning the tables after an early setback, and a perfect 100% win rate after losing a piece. Yes, you read that right — you take a pawn, and the revenge is inevitable!

When it comes to daily games, steevehyf’s game is no less serious, with steady ratings below 900 and a solid win rate just over 50%. Blitz and bullet formats have been a playground for fast tactics, though ratings fluctuate more dramatically — proving that even a speedy steevehyf can stumble over a misplaced knight now and then.

Playing mostly with Top Secret openings (because who wants to spoil their surprises?), steevehyf keeps rivals guessing. Despite the secretive approach, the win rates hover respectably between 42% and 54%, a testament to consistent skill across all time controls.

Steevehyf is no stranger to long winning streaks either — the record stands at a charming 11 games in a row. Although the current winning streak is enjoying a moment of rest, the spirit to reclaim glory is undoubtedly simmering beneath the surface.

Off the clock, steevehyf seems to have quirky hours: with the highest win rate at 5 AM (an eye-opening 65.7%) and solid afternoon showings, it’s clear this player might be either an early bird or a night owl—or perhaps both!

Known to gracefully resign early only about 5% of the time, steevehyf’s endurance in endgames is notable, engaging in more than half of games at this phase. The average game length hovers around 55 moves, demonstrating patience and a deep love for strategic battles.

Among opponents, the record is mixed with some winning lurkingly at 0% but also shining at 100% against others — this kind of head-to-head suspense makes every match a unique battle. More than 3,000 rapid games speak to dedication, so be prepared: Steevehyf may be your next toughest adversary or a delightful ally on the board.

In short, steevehyf is a chess player who combines perseverance, tactical awareness, and a playful spirit to conquer the board one move at a time. May the pawns be ever in their favor (and beware if you lose a piece early!).
