StockScammer IM

Profile: StockScammer

International Master (IM)

StockScammer is not your everyday chess player — an International Master with a knack for blitz firefights and strategic thrills. Often seen juggling bullet, blitz, and rapid games like a grandmaster at a circus, StockScammer has earned their FIDE IM title through grit, brains, and an uncanny ability to rattle even the toughest opponents.

Style and Strengths

When StockScammer sits down to play, expect a tolerably serious, sometimes cheeky approach to the game. Known for ending games on their own terms, they have a 0% early resignation rate — giving every move its moment in the spotlight. Their endgames are particularly deadly, with a frequency of over 81% in games, showcasing refined technique that converts slim advantages and stages comebacks that would give Hollywood scripts a run for their money. The average game length leans toward the marathon side, with wins typically clocking in at over 82 moves, meaning this player loves a good mental battle.

Blitz and Bullet Wizardry

StockScammer thrives in fast-paced formats: boasting a peak blitz rating of 2576 (August 2023) and a bullet peak soaring to 2650 back in December 2021. Their blitz record is almost evenly matched — with 228 wins and 207 losses — giving opponents a rollercoaster ride of excitement and tension on the clock. In bullet, they've played hundreds of games, proving their lightning reflexes and dogged persistence in the scramble. Rapid may be their “slow burn,” but still with a nifty peak of 2196, they’ve displayed flexibility across chess time controls.

Favorite Openings

Opening mysteries abound here—StockScammer’s secret weapon is literally called "Top Secret" in their blitz repertoire, with nearly half their blitz wins coming from that enigmatic setup. However, they have shown concrete prowess in the Scandinavian Defense and the Closed Sicilian Defense Fianchetto Variation, winning all games they've ventured into with these lines in blitz. Perhaps the name “StockScammer” is just a playful troll against unsuspecting opponents caught in their opening traps!

Opponent Records & Notable Streaks

StockScammer has a love-hate relationship with some opponents, pulling off perfect 100% win rates against several users (like krishsna, garudapura, chokemeifyoucan, and dozens of others), while struggling to make a dent against some others with near-zero wins. The longest winning streak they achieved is an impressive 10 games, reminding us all that dynamite can be brief but brilliant, and their longest skid is 8 losses—because even the best mockers can get mocked.

Psychology and Play Times

With a tilt factor of just 8, StockScammer keeps their cool better than many keyboard warriors. Their best time to play? At the crack of dawn—about 5 AM—when the world is sleepy but their brain is wide awake and scheming. If you see them online at that hour, watch out!

Recent Brilliance

Among recent feats, StockScammer clinched a neat victory over machinebruno with a fearless Scandinavian Defense, outsmarting and outmaneuvering their opponent in a critical blitz clash ending in resignation. For the best move-by-move action, the unforgettable game and exact moves are right here.

Final Thoughts

International Master StockScammer is a blend of mystery, resilience, and lightning-quick moves wrapped in a slightly mischievous online moniker. Whether you're facing them in bullet, blitz, or rapid, expect to be tested, teased, and thoroughly entertained on your quest for checkmate.
