Thevenins: The Comeback Connoisseur of the Chessboard
Meet Thevenins, a chess warrior whose rating graph looks like a rollercoaster — thrilling ups, dramatic downs, and a refusal to give up. With a peak Rapid rating clocking in at 1211 and a Blitz peak of 858, Thevenins proves to be a versatile player across multiple time controls. While Bullet games reveal a spirited battle—with a highest bullet rating of 855—it’s in Rapid and Blitz where their clever combos and tactical flair truly shine.
Don't let the numbers fool you. Behind the scenes, Thevenins maintains an impressive 73% comeback rate after setbacks and keeps calm while losing pieces, winning nearly half those games. This tenacity earns Thevenins the nickname "the comeback connoisseur" around casual chess circles.
Known for an eclectic opening repertoire, Thevenins ravages opponents with the Petrov's Defense Classical Variation in Bullet (100% win rate in 4 games!) and masters the Three Knights Opening with a perfect bullet record as well. When it comes to Rapid chess, openings like the Italian Game Two Knights Modern Bishops Opening become weapons of choice, boasting an 80% win clip. Blitz games see a mix of classics; Thevenins has a measured 56% success with the King's Pawn Opening and an adventurous spirit rocking the Philidor Defense (albeit with variable results).
Thevenins also battles psychological dragons bravely, fighting off the dreaded "tilt" with a temperate factor of 8, and strangely performs best in the evening, especially at 7 PM—a prime time for brain storms and dazzling checkmates.
It's not all serious business, though. Thevenins takes a humble approach to setbacks, often resigning early in about 6.6% of games—perhaps saving energy for the next fight (or grabbing a snack). Endgames are a favorite battlefield, appearing in nearly half of all games, showcasing stamina and patience.
Recent Triumph and Trials
His latest victory was a swift & sporty checkmate, showing off his sharp eye and tactical prowess on November 23rd, 2024, against a 727-rated opponent. But even champions stumble; on the very same day, a tough defeat by checkmate reminded Thevenins that every grandmaster’s journey includes some humbling moments.
In Summary
In the kingdom of 64 squares, Thevenins might not yet be crowned king, but certainly wears the cloak of resilience and creative daring. With a mix of solid fundamentals, quirky openings, and a fighting spirit that refuses to quit, Thevenins is a player to watch—and maybe laugh with—when the pressure mounts and the clock ticks down.
