TheCityBird: A Chess Biography

Perched high in the urban jungle of chess, TheCityBird is a player who’s never afraid to spread their wings and dive into tactical skirmishes. With a peak Daily rating soaring just above 1140 in 2023, they’ve shown a remarkable ability to adapt — much like a true city bird weaving through skyscrapers.

Known for their early resignation avoidance (zero tolerance for quitting early!), TheCityBird prefers to see the endgame until the very last move, with an impressive 69% endgame frequency. Their average winning game length (about 65 moves!) suggests a penchant for long flights over the chessboard – patient, strategic, and ready to outmaneuver opponents with endurance rather than rapid snap judgments.

Their signature opening, intriguingly labeled “Top Secret”, has guarded many victories, boasting a solid 53.5% win rate across 71 games. If chess openings were genes, TheCityBird’s Top Secret would be a dominant allele – quietly passing on success in over half their encounters.

On the warpath against opponents, TheCityBird holds a mixed record: while some foes like amzadams have proven tricky with a 0% win rate, others such as fpoblete and superoverswitch have fallen with 100% regularity. Clearly, this bird’s hunting ground is selective but fierce.

Time of day appears to be a critical part of their circadian strategy. With peak performance after dawn and well into the evening, their sharpest talons strike hard around 7 AM, 18:00, 21:00, and 22:00 hours with perfect 100% win rates during those times. Night owls beware — TheCityBird owns the twilight!

Not just a patient player, this feathered tactician boasts a comeback rate of nearly 87% and wins every single time after losing a piece, showing true resilience. Let’s just say when TheCityBird loses a pawn, they don’t just chirp—they roar.

And while the tilt factor is low (just 5), a feather in the cap of mental tenacity, TheCityBird’s performance dips slightly in rated games compared to casual play, proving even the keenest minds can ruffle feathers under pressure.

Whether you call them TheCityBird or just “that one resilient chess player who never gives up,” one thing’s for sure: their style combines sharp wit, stamina, and the right amount of mystery. A true urban legend in the making!
