Scott Westbrook (aka westbrookmania)
Scott Westbrook is a chess enthusiast whose rating journey reads like an emotional thriller — sometimes a gritty comeback hero, sometimes a humble pawn in the great battle of 64 squares. With a bullet rating peaking at 752 in 2021 and a current slower-paced rapid rating of 642, Scott embodies the spirit of versatility, tackling blitz, rapid, bullet, and daily chess with varying degrees of success and heart.
Known for an early resignation rate of around 20%, Scott’s style suggests he's not afraid to cut losses and live to fight another day. When it comes to the endgame, he spends nearly 44% of his games there, showing true stamina in those tense closing moments — even if his average game length hovers in the mid-40 moves range.
He’s a fighter: Scott boasts a remarkable comeback rate of 54.7%, and when he loses a piece, he wins back over 83% of the time. Clearly, this is a player who thrives on second chances and turning tables, or perhaps just refuses to let the board intimidate him.
Playing under the username westbrookmania, Scott has a love/hate relationship with bullet chess, winning 42% of his games but also losing a hefty share. Blitz appears to be his sweet spot—his win rate edges close to 46% with over 370 games played, showing perseverance and plenty of lessons learned (and probably some offbeat openings too).
Scott’s most impressive streak is a 10-game winning run, proof that when he’s in the zone, opponents better watch out. Despite this, he keeps a humble tilt factor of 8, suggesting he takes his losses in stride (or at least tries to) and keeps his cool — no queen-flinging tantrums here.
Among opponents, Scott shows some quirky wins and losses — sometimes going 0 for 5 against recent adversaries, but achieving a perfect 100% win rate against several others, hinting at either excellent preparation or just pure luck at times.
Outside the scoreboard, Scott is that delightful player who probably plays chess like it's a roller coaster: thrilling, nerve-wracking, and occasionally a scream-worthy ride. Whether playing early morning blitz or late-night rapid, westbrookmania’s ratings and records reveal a passionate player who battles fiercely, learns from every game, and never stops chasing that elusive mate in one.
