Chess Player Profile: terfasE
Meet terfasE, a spirited rapid and blitz chess player whose journey on the 64 squares has been a rollercoaster of battles, blunders, comebacks, and checkmates. With a peak rapid rating of 595 achieved in June 2023 and a blitz high of 659, this player is far from a rookie but still has plenty of room to grow—and plenty of fun to have along the way.
Known for a fearless tactical style and an inclination to resign early only about 8.5% of the time (because sometimes it's better to grab a coffee and come back stronger), terfasE loves the endgame and often drags matches deep with an average of nearly 50 moves per outing—chess endurance, anyone? With a comeback rate above 60%, losing a piece is never the end, just another puzzle to solve.
While the win-loss records tell tales of fierce battles (93 wins and 104 losses in rapid, plus a blitz record that is more “practice makes perfect” with 1 win and 2 losses), terfasE’s strongest opening weapon is the King's Pawn Opening, especially the King's Knight Variation, boasting a respectable 57% win rate there. Not many gamers can resist the fiery Italian Game, and terfasE gives it a whirl, even if it’s more of a love-hate relationship with a 25% win rate.
Off the board, terfasE seems to be a creature of the night, performing best around 10pm with a sharp win rate near 67%. Perhaps the dark suits them! Mondays are surprisingly lucky too, with over a 61% win rate—maybe the start of the workweek fuels some extra motivation.
Fun Facts & Memorable Moments:
- Longest winning streak: an impressive 8 games, proving that when terfasE gets in the zone, watch out!
- Longest losing streak: 6 games, reminding us all that even chess warriors hit rough patches.
- Definitely familiar with checkmate—34 wins by it to be exact—and the opposite side has had their fair share of delivering checkmate to terfasE too.
- Check out a recent memorable victory with a swift checkmate after a tension-filled King's Pawn Opening battle against "mcw187759" in May 2025, showing that terfasE can end games with flair.
Opponents beware: terfasE has a curious mix of friendly rivalries and tough matchups. Some opponents have yet to taste defeat (looking at you, “pere-guignard” and “guiguir13”), while others, like “mcw187759” and “Avisahy_08,” have been bested with delight.
Whether you want to exchange pieces, engage in a strategic endgame, or simply share a friendly tussle on the board, terfasE is a player full of surprises. Drop by for a game—you might just witness some creative sacrifices, a clever comeback, or at worst, a good-natured concession.
