Profile Summary: yob9

Meet yob9, a rapid chess player whose rating history is nothing short of a biological marvel. Starting at a modest 549 in 2021, yob9 has metabolized experience and strategy to steadily evolve, reaching a peak rapid rating close to 1200 in 2025. Like a well-tuned enzyme, yob9’s games flow with an average win rate that buffs their rapid battles, boasting over 600 wins out of nearly 1,250 games—definitely not lost in the Siberian tundra of chess statistics!

One might say yop9’s moves are like cell division—complex, strategic, and meant to multiply opportunities. With a longest winning streak of 9 games, they've demonstrated the ability to replicate success like mitosis splitting cells. Despite a tilt factor of 8 (occasional biological hiccups), their comeback rate is an impressive 77%, showing a resilience better than a cockroach surviving an apocalypse.

Opening Repertoire: A Genus of Choices

  • Philidor Defense (55.8% win rate): A sturdy backbone much like the vertebral column, providing solid structure.
  • Ruy Lopez - Old Steinitz Defense (65.7% win rate): The crown jewel in their opening DNA, demonstrating strategic dominance.
  • Scandinavian Defense and Italian Game: Diverse openings reflecting evolutionary adaptation to different opponents.

Interestingly, yob9’s style favors long, strategic endgames—60% of their games reach this stage, with an average of almost 64 moves per win. Clearly, patience and perseverance are in their genetic chess code!

Psychology & Tactics

When losing pieces, yob9 pulls off a perfect 100% win rate—talk about cellular regeneration! And with an early resignation rate below 2%, they prefer to fight on, squirming out of tough spots like a slippery eel. Their white pieces yield a slightly higher win rate than black, but both sides show formidable competence.

Day & Hour of Peak Performance

In a fascinating chronobiological pattern, yob9 thrives most on Wednesdays and during mid-afternoon and early morning hours, clocking over 50% wins notably at 10 AM and 6 AM—possibly needing their morning coffee to fuel those cerebral synapses.

Opponent-wise, yob9 shines with a perfect win record against many foes but faces some nemeses (looking at you, thewarlock09!) who have yet to be tamed.

In summary, yob9’s chess career is a fine specimen of tactical evolution, mental stamina, and opening diversity—a player whose strategy could rival nature’s own best adaptations.
