Profile of yas_78: The Courageous Chess Adventurer
Meet yas_78, a fearless soul embarking on a bold journey through the chessboard jungles of Rapid, Blitz, and Bullet. With a peak Rapid rating of 1021 achieved in February 2025, and tactical sparks flying at a Bullet peak of 183, yas_78 proves that passion rules over perfection!
Although the win-loss record tells a tale of tough battles—25 wins against 66 losses in Rapid games, and similar brave attempts in Blitz and Bullet—this player's spirit is undaunted. The longest winning streak peaks at a respectable 6 games, but equally impressive (or terrifying?) is a 17-game losing streak that shows yas_78 knows perseverance like no other!
Playing Style & Tactics
- Endgame frequency: High (39.39%), meaning yas_78 loves the long haul and the drama of late-game skirmishes.
- Early resignations: Nearly 20% — because sometimes, discretion is the better part of valor.
- Average moves per win: About 45 — patience and determination indeed.
- Comeback rate: A staggering 74% win rate after losing positions, confirming yas_78’s knack for second chances.
Opening Choices: A Bit of Everything
yas_78 experiments with a colorful palette of openings, some favorites include:
- Rapid: Kings Pawn Opening (14 games, 43% win rate), Bishops Opening (50% win rate), but watch out for the Scandinavian Defense – a struggle zone with just a 14% success rate.
- Blitz: Kings Pawn Opening and its variations bring mixed results; occasional triumphs with the Pirc Defense Maroczy and Mieses Opening Reversed Rat variations (100% wins in their limited runs!) suggest flair in surprise tactics.
- Bullet: Scandinavian Defense shines bright here with a 75% win rate, and the Mieses Opening is flawless in the small sample set – an opening to watch!
Psychological Profile & Playing Hours
Unlike most, yas_78's optimum playing time is 14:00, a magical hour in which openings and tactics seem to align perfectly. Playing with about 17% tilt factor, the emotional rollercoaster is real – but so is their spirit.
Win rates vary through the day, with peak performances at early morning hours (8 and 14 o'clock boast 100% win rates albeit low samples) and Sunday emerges as the lucky day with ~36% victories.
Memorable Victories
One game that stands out is the thrilling checkmate against ozzytheboss12, showcasing a daring queen assault with a swift checkmate in 18 moves. A perfect demonstration of patience and precise attacking bursts, something yas_78 can surely celebrate!

Hi yas_78, here’s a personalised coaching report based on your latest games 👋
1. Quick Snapshot
- Current peak: (keep climbing!)
- Tactical eye: you converted several games with direct mates (e.g. 18.Qxf8# vs ozzytheboss12).
- Main issues dragging results down: early queen adventures, king safety, and time management.
2. What you’re doing well
- Sharp tactical awareness
Your wins often come from spotting loose back-rank squares or overloaded pieces. Keep sharpening this with daily puzzles. - Bravery in the centre
Using pawn breaks like 7.exd5 and 14.dxc6 in your win against ozzytheboss12 shows good feeling for when to open lines. - Keeping the initiative
When you seize momentum you rarely let go. The miniature against grgoire-22100 is a great example – the attack never slowed.
3. Priority areas to fix
- King safety & development
• In your loss to raph174 you castled late and allowed a king hunt.
• Tip: follow the “develop minor pieces, castle, connect rooks” checklist before launching pawn storms. - Early queen sorties
Several games (e.g. vs isac426, vs mert4434h) started with 2…Qh4 or Qf6. Against accurate play you lose time and fall behind in development.
• Study the principle of “[[:term|Tempo]] loss]” and delay queen moves until pieces are out. - Time management
You flagged in a winning position against dimsplk. Practise quick “blitz drills” (mate-in-2, mate-in-3 puzzles) to speed up calculation, and use the opponent’s clock to plan replies. - Endgame technique
In the loss to nawal-kishor-kumawat you reached a rook ending but mis-placed the rook on the passive side. Review the “rook behind passed pawn” rule and basic Lucena/Philidor setups.
4. Opening menu for the next month
| You play White | Focus |
|---|---|
| 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 (Spanish) | Solid structure, early castling. |
| 1.d4 d5 2.Bf4 (London) | Reduces theory; fast development. |
As Black, pick one reply to 1.e4 (e.g. the Scandinavian without early ...Qh4) and one to 1.d4 (e.g. the Queen’s Gambit Declined) and learn 10 “model” moves each.
5. Model game to study
Play through the following annotated miniature; try to guess the next move for the winning side before revealing it.
6. Track your progress
Check these charts weekly to see when you win most often and plan training accordingly:
7. Training plan (next 2 weeks)
- 15 min/day tactics (theme: forks & pins).
- 3 rapid games (10|5) per session; annotate one afterwards.
- Watch one instructive endgame video or book chapter on basic rook endings.
- Play the model opening lines vs computer set to 1000-1200 until you can play the first 10 moves instantly.
8. Motivation boost
Your rating graph shows steady improvement — every mistake spotted is rating points earned later. Focus on one weakness at a time, and celebrate small wins. You’ve already proven you can land beautiful mates; now let’s make your play bullet-proof!
Good luck, and feel free to reach out after your next 20 games for an updated review.
