Profile Summary: UTimeWasting
Meet UTimeWasting, a chess player who might not exactly be wasting time, but certainly knows how to stretch it out in style — both on and off the board. Bursting onto the blitz scene back in 2017 with a stormy start at a rating of 770 (peak alert!), UTimeWasting has since had quite a rollercoaster career, oscillating between grit and grace with a current blitz rating hovering in the 500+ range.
Endgame aficionados beware: with an endgame frequency of over 43% and an average of 43 moves per win, UTimeWasting enjoys the long haul. This player refuses to rush, preferring strategy, cunning, and a dash of stubbornness, which sometimes leads to extended losses too (average moves per loss: 50). Apparently, giving up early is not their style — they resign early just 8% of the time.
Known for coming back from tricky situations with a phenomenal comeback rate of 75.6%, UTimeWasting is the person you don’t want to underestimate after losing a piece. On the flip side, the tilt factor stands at 15, which means a few tough losses might get under the skin, but nothing a good coffee or a short break won’t fix.
Versatility is their game—whether it's blitz, bullet, or rapid, UTimeWasting plays it all. Though bullet ratings could use some love (peaking at 391), blitz and rapid performances remain solid with peaks of 770 and 631, respectively. Their favorite openings include the King's Pawn and Bishop's Opening in blitz, where they've managed respectable win rates above 50%.
When it comes to streaks, the longest winning run clocks in at a respectable 9 games, but like any mortal, the losing streak can be a painful 15 games. Don’t count them out just yet—those losses are often followed by epic comebacks.
Playing Style Highlights
- Psychological edge: Best time of day to play is 9 AM, showing they’re sharpest before coffee spills happen.
- Win rates: Slight edge when playing white (50.03%) compared to black (47.48%) — classic chess asymmetry.
- Win/Loss vs Rating: Performs admirably against equal or lower-rated opponents, but clearly enjoys the thrill (or challenge) of facing higher-rated players despite the tougher odds.
- Timeout troubles: Timeout losses outnumber wins here, reflecting a battle against the clock as much as the opponent.
