Profile Summary: villapong

Rating Highlights: Villapong reached a blitz peak rating of 949 in October 2021 and a rapid peak of 979 back in May 2021. While their blitz rating has hovered around the mid 700s to low 800s in recent years, the fierce determination and love for battle remain unchanged.

Playing Style: Not one to throw in the towel easily, villapong has an impressive comeback rate of 75.45% and rarely suffers one-sided losses (only 7.8%). Early resignations are kept modest at about 4.33%, showing a heart fit for long fights. They enjoy endgames—over half of their games reach this phase—often extending battles to an average of 52 moves to victory.

Approach to Opponents: Villapong plays like a rollercoaster on win/loss: they dominate lower-rated opponents with a winning rate over 70%, but struggle somewhat against higher-rated players, winning less than 30% of those games. Equal matchups are a toss-up, with around 42% victories.

Favorite Openings: With a penchant for the unknown, villapong has played thousands of games starting with Unknown Openings in blitz, keeping opponents guessing with a slightly under-50% win rate. The Scandinavian Defense stands out as a surprising stronghold with a respectable 56.25% win rate.

Notorious Opponents: Among their many rivals, villapong has faced "werdup928" and "igor04098989" five times each, yet their win rate against "worst foes" like "kailashkumar532" dips to zero, proving everyone has a nemesis – even the greatest.

Psychological and Temporal Traits: The "tilt factor" is a manageable 10, meaning villapong keeps cool under pressure (most of the time). The best time to catch them online? Around 7 PM, when their win rate likely spikes as the coffee kicks in and the mental gears engage.

Motto: “I may lose sometimes, but never without a fiery fight (and a few spectacular blunders)!”
