Grandmaster thatsallshewrote - The Enigmatic Chess Virtuoso
Known in chess circles simply as thatsallshewrote, this Grandmaster has dazzled the chess world with tactical brilliance, resilience, and a splash of mystery. Holding the coveted FIDE Grandmaster title, thatsallshewrote combines deep strategic understanding with flair and sometimes a pinch of cheeky unpredictability.
Career Highlights & Playing Style
With a peak blitz rating nearing 3000 (a serious power rating of 2998 as of early 2025), thatsallshewrote is no stranger to both lightning-fast bullet duels and intense blitz battles. Their bullet peak is equally impressive, boasting a high of 2841. Known for an average of about 83 moves per win, their games often showcase gritty, long fights rather than snap decisions.
One curious trivia: their earliest resignation rate is extremely low (only 0.43%), proving a stubborn streak to the bitter end. And when the going gets tough, they get going — making comebacks 85% of the time after setbacks! Clearly, thatsallshewrote plays to win, even when the clock is ticking furiously.
Signature Openings & Strategies
Despite the grandmaster-level cloak-and-dagger approach to openings (labeled as "Top Secret" with over 9,700 games!), a few favorites peek through. The English Opening with the Agincourt Defense is a specialty, achieving a flawless 100% win rate in recorded games—a tiny sample size, but impressive nonetheless. Their adoption of varied defenses like the Modern and Reti Opening Quiet System show a flexible, adaptive mind attuned to complex positions.
Notable Battles
Some recent masterclasses include a thrilling victory by resignation over maciek_92 featuring sharp middlegame tactics, and a victorious checkmate finish against marcodobrikov, showcasing that thatsallshewrote is equally at home grinding out wins or delivering poetic finishes. Even losses haven’t dulled this Grandmaster’s shine — mostly on time or against fearsome opponents, reminding us that even titans can have an off-day.
Psychological Edge & Quirks
Favoring mornings around 8:00 am for peak performance and maintaining a tilt factor of just 12 (meaning they keep a cool head under pressure), thatsallshewrote proves that nerves are for the weak. Black pieces win almost half their games, and white edges slightly better with a 55% win rate, the kind of balance no opponent takes lightly.
Watch out when the clock winds down—this player is known for flagging wins (1042 wins on timeout terminations!) but also accepts losses with grace and fights back fiercely.
In Summary
Whether you face thatsallshewrote online or see their games archived in the annals of chess lore, expect a Prime Grandmaster’s dance with the 64 squares: a mix of subtle strategy, tactical fireworks, and relentless perseverance. If chess had a “plot twist” meter, this player’s games would be rated 10/10, because just when you think the story is over, thatsallshewrote flips the board and writes another thrilling chapter.
