Since 2022, stroopwafelen has amassed over 14,000 bullet games and nearly 9,000 blitz battles, boasting a ruthless competitive spirit matched only by a quirky resilience — their comeback rate is an impressive 92%, and if they lose a piece, don’t bet against them: their win rate after losing a piece is a remarkable 100%! Clearly, giving up early is not in this player's vocabulary, as reflected by an early resignation rate of under 1%. Endgames are stroopwafelen’s specialty, showing up in over 84% of their games.
What’s more, this player’s longevity shines with an average of 82 moves per win — they're not just fast, they’re thorough.

White pieces deliver a slightly better win ratio (about 50%) compared to black (45%), showcasing their solid adaptability regardless of color.
Opening preferences are as mysterious as the secret stash of stroopwafelen’s treasured cookies: they favor “Top Secret” openings in bullet and blitz, maintaining nearly 50% win rates. They also dabble effectively with Nimzowitsch-Larsen and Reti openings, a hint at a diverse and unpredictable playstyle — perfect for keeping opponents guessing.

Their ever-curious chess mind is like an explorer savoring every position and nuance, always searching for caramel-honey traps.
Fun fact: If the game stretches beyond the early skirmishes, expect stroopwafelen to shine. Their average moves per loss (about 79) and win (82) tell a story of enduring tactical battles that rarely end in quick upsets. Quick draws? Not so much — they draw less than 10% of the time, preferring to push for decisive outcomes.
