Profile Summary: zepinha

Meet zepinha, a fearless chess adventurer navigating the stormy seas of Rapid chess. Currently holding a modest rating hovering around 200, with a peak Rapid rating of 943 back in May 2023, zepinha proves that chess is not just about numbers, but also about the love of the game... and perhaps the occasional blunder.

Despite a challenging win-loss record in Rapid games (23 wins, 51 losses, and 4 draws), zepinha's resilience is nothing short of inspiring. With a remarkable comeback rate of nearly 70%, this player never gives up—even when losing a piece early on. Endings might be tough, but with an average of almost 59 moves per win, it’s clear that zepinha enjoys the long haul rather than quick skirmishes.

A curious strategic palette defines zepinha’s style. The Scandinavian Defense is a personal favorite, boasting a solid 50% win rate. Then there's the less forgiving King's Pawn Opening, where zepinha must be thinking, "Why do I keep walking into this one?" with a win rate under 20%. The Four Knights Game is where glory shines brightest, managing to snatch victory in two-thirds of the games played.

Performance varies by the hour—zepinha’s best brainwaves seem to hit at dawn and mid-morning with a 50%-100% win rate during 5AM, 6AM, 10AM, and 3PM sessions. But beware: evenings might be when the chess gods start playing tricks. Early resignations make up about 24% of games, showing there's occasionally a dignified walk away... or timely defeat recognition.

Off the board? Caution is advised. With a tilt factor of 7 out of 10, sometimes emotions hold more sway than chess principles. But hey, who doesn’t get a bit salty when an opponent ghosts your queen?
