Profile Summary: wockadile

Meet wockadile, the blitz-loving chess enthusiast whose rating journey reads like a thrilling rollercoaster ride—with fewer screams and more checkmates.

Starting off modestly in 2022 with a rapid rating of 356, wockadile quickly gained momentum. By 2023, their blitz rating soared from a humble 540 to a spicy 776, eventually flirting with the 900s in 2024 and creeping toward a blitz peak of 961 in early 2025. Bullet games show a similar story—starting from barely 100 and peaking around the mid-600s—showcasing growth wrapped in lightning-fast moves.

Rapid chess is where wockadile truly shines, boasting an impressive peak rating above 1300, with a win rate hovering near a grandmaster's dream at nearly 70% in this format. Daily chess? Let's just say wockadile treats it as the calm before the storm, consistently winning over 80% of those slower battles.

Playing Style & Quirks

  • Known for an Early Resignation Rate of 4.56%, they don’t linger in losing battles—why waste time when revenge is better planned for the next game?
  • Masters the endgame with a frequency of 55.85%, proving patience truly is a virtue on the 64 squares.
  • Average moves per win and loss are strikingly close (~57 moves), hinting at endurance matched with tactical precision.

Tactical Prowess

With a comeback rate of 74.47%, wockadile’s motto is clearly: “Don’t count me out until the final move.” Their stellar 100% win rate after losing a piece suggests an uncanny ability to turn disasters into triumphs—probably by slipping in sneaky forks or a timely queen sacrifice.

Psychological Resilience

Maintaining a tilt factor of 10, wockadile keeps emotions in check, although the slight negative difference between rated and casual win rates (-34.65%) means they might just get a bit too serious in the competitive arena. Still, no one said chess was all fun and games… or did they?

Record & Rivalries

Over the years, wockadile racked up an impressive 817 rapid wins, 822 blitz wins, and 144 bullet wins—so it's safe to say they're no slouch. With a longest winning streak of 20 games, this crocodile in the chess waters has tasted fierce dominance.

Fun fact: wockadile has a top-secret opening preference, and with a win rate surpassing 51% in blitz and over 69% in rapid chess using it, opponents can only guess what secrets lurk behind those moves.

When to Catch Them Playing

Whether it’s late-night blitz battles around 22:00 when their win rate peaks at a stomping 69%, or early morning duels at 1 AM with a dreamy 66% win rate, wockadile seems to synchronize perfectly with the chess clock.

On weekdays, Fridays and Wednesdays bring their best performance vibes (over 61% win rate), proving everyone loves “winning into the weekend.”

In Conclusion

If you ever face wockadile, beware: behind that cheeky username hides a resilient, tactical beast with a penchant for making comebacks and surprising wins. Whether in blitz, rapid, bullet, or daily chess, wockadile is definitely someone you want to watch, study... and maybe avoid when they’re on a winning streak.

Hi wockadile, here’s some constructive feedback based on your recent 3-min blitz games!

What You’re Doing Well

  • Fighting spirit & tactics. You’re not afraid to sacrifice material for initiative (e.g. 9…Bxh3!! in the French win).
  • Piece activity. In many wins you triple-load the g- and h-files, forcing the opponent’s king into mating nets.
  • Willingness to castle opposite sides. This is excellent training for attack-vs-attack positions.

Biggest Improvement Targets

  1. Opening discipline – develop first, attack later.
    • In several losses you pushed wing pawns or moved the same piece twice before completing development.
    • Practical tip: follow the 3-out-of-4 rule in the first 8 moves – get two knights, one bishop and castle.
  2. King safety.
    • In the Vienna loss you placed your king on g4 after weakening with …g5 and …h6.
    • When you play …h6/…g5 early, be absolutely sure the centre is closed; otherwise postpone these pushes.
  3. Time management.
    • Two recent games (vs shaikhutdin & caxapok287) were lost from playable positions because the clock hit zero.
    • Solution: decide on an opening “bundle” so the first 10 moves are almost automatic, leaving more time for the middlegame.
  4. Endgame conversion.
    • Blitz doesn’t reach many endgames, but when it does, you need a quick plan. Drill the “rook + 3 pawns vs rook” technique so future positions like 42…Kd7 (Shaikhutdin game) convert smoothly.
  5. Tactical hygiene.
    • You see tactics for you, but sometimes miss tactics against you (e.g. 20.Qxe5+ in the Vienna game). Spend 10 minutes/day on puzzle rush or regular tactics to sharpen defensive eyesight.

Illustrative Examples

1. Your attacking French win – keep the good habits


• Notice how once you completed the minimum of development (castle + connect rooks), the pawn storm became deadly.
• Use this as your template: Develop → open lines → tactics.

2. Critical moments from the Vienna loss – learn to say “no” to unsafe pawn pushes


• After 14…g5 your king side became airy and White’s queen invaded.
• Instead of …g5 consider 14…Re8 or 14…Rd8, completing development and keeping the structure intact.

Suggested Training Plan (2-week sprint)

  • Openings: Choose one reply to 1.e4 (e.g. French Defense) and one to 1.d4 (e.g. Queen’s Gambit Declined). Play only those for 50 games.
  • Tactics: 20 puzzles/day. Focus on pins, forks and back-rank themes.
  • Endgames: Watch a 10-minute video on the “Lucena” and “Philidor” rook endings, then practise against the computer until you win within 30 seconds.
  • Review: After each session, pick one win and one loss, annotate briefly (why did the evaluation change?). Self-reflection beats memorisation.

Next Milestone

If you follow the plan and keep the clock under control, hitting 900+ blitz within two weeks is realistic. Keep the energy, tidy up the structure, and your tactical flair will shine even brighter!

Good luck, and happy hunting on the 64 squares!
