Eric Butler - Chess Player Profile

Meet Eric Butler, a cunning chess tactician who’s been unraveling opponents’ defenses one move at a time. A true knight in the kingdom of pawns with a game full of biological precision and strategic vitality—he’s definitely got his brain cells firing more than a synapse in a lightning storm!

Rating Evolution & Playing Strength

Over the years, Eric’s rapid rating has fluctuated like a lively neuron: peaking around 868 and currently steadying near 660. Despite a few catalytic setbacks (or shall we say “cellular reboots”), his blitz rating resonates consistently around the 400-600 range, proving he can think on his feet—or claws—when the pressure’s on.

Bullet games reveal a bit of mitochondria-like energy bursts, with a max rating around 1275, highlighting his quickfire tactical awareness and lightning-fast decision-making. Daily games demonstrate a calm, steady metabolism, hovering mid-600s, perfectly balanced for thoughtful positioning.

Opening Snippets: Genetic Code of Play

Eric has a fondness for the Van t Kruijs Opening, where his win rate hovers just shy of 50% in rapid games, indicating a well-nourished tactical approach that thrives on control and aggressive DNA. The French Defense also features prominently, showcasing his defensive chromosomes, especially the Knight and Normal Variations. His Kings Pawn Opening boasts a delightful 73% win rate — clearly the dominant phenotype of his opening repertoire.

Playing Style & Tendencies

  • Early resignation rate: 13.9% — Eric knows when to fold 'em, conserving his energy for the next synaptic challenge.
  • Average moves per win: Around 45 moves — a game filled with measured, evolutionary patience.
  • Comeback rate: 50% — proving Eric has the resilience of a bacterial colony surviving antibiotics.
  • Win rate after losing a piece: A perfect 100% — a true master of cellular regeneration and tactical cunning.

Psychological & Temporal Patterns

While his tilt factor is modest at 17, suggesting great emotional homeostasis, Eric’s peak hour of brain fire is around 9 AM and noon, where his win rates spike over 60% and even 55% respectively — just like the circadian rhythm perfectly syncing his strategic faculties with his biological clock.

Notable Streaks & Opponent Records

Eric's longest winning streak stands proudly at 12 games, a testament to his ability to multiply victories like cellular mitosis. Opponent-wise, he's carved out impressive win rates against a number of challengers including 100% triumphs over players such as "blueapple283" and "daniiel24w."

Final Checkmate

Though Eric’s chess journey sometimes feels like a dance of chromosomes—mutations, adaptations, and sudden bursts of creativity—he remains a resilient and resourceful player in the vast kingdom of 64 squares. Whether sprinting in blitz or pacing himself in daily games, Eric Butler embodies the perfect fusion of biological wit and chess mastery.
