Player Profile: Takeabetterlook

Takeabetterlook is a tenacious chess enthusiast with a flair for comebacks and an equally impressive ability to keep things unpredictable on the board. Known for an astonishing 76.82% comeback rate and a perfect 100% win rate after losing a piece, this player turns adversity into opportunity with a dash of chess-wizardry.

Their style favors long, grinding matches, boasting an average of around 63 moves for wins and a similar length for losses—because quitting early is just not their thing (they only resign early 3.42% of the time). With a solid endgame focus showing up in 66.63% of their games, Takeabetterlook truly knows how to **close the deal**.

While Takeabetterlook’s performance varies by time, they shine brightest on Sundays and at the 7-8 PM hours, crushing opponents with a win rate surpassing 55%. Mondays and Thursdays offer respectable challenges, but still prove rewarding.

Rating-wise, progress has been steady if a bit of a rollercoaster between 2022 and 2025. Takeabetterlook’s Blitz peak rating leapt from 577 in 2022 to a solid 739 in 2025. Bullet games show promising volatility, ending at a rating of 658 in 2025, while Rapid play remains reliably strong with ratings hovering close to 900.

A comprehensive player profile wouldn’t be complete without their Top Secret opening repertoire that seems to keep opponents guessing — nearly 50% win rate across Blitz, Bullet, and Rapid with over a thousand games tested and proven effective.

Psychology-wise, the tilt-factor is quite moderate at 10, meaning they’re relatively cool-headed despite the ups and downs inherent in the game. Interestingly, their rated games score slightly lower compared to casual ones by about 18.76%, proving even Takeabetterlook isn't immune to the pressures of rating points!

Takeabetterlook also boasts a respectable longest winning streak of 10 games and currently rides a modest 2-game streak, always ready to take the next challenge.

In a nutshell: Takeabetterlook might not always be the fanciest player on the board, but they’re a fighter who refuses to give up, bounces back from setbacks like a pro, and keeps clever openings up their sleeve. Opponents beware — this look might just get better!
