Evan Van Pelt (360Evan) - The Gambit Gladiator
Evan Van Pelt, known in the chess realm as 360Evan, is a fighter who wears every loss as a badge of honor and every win as a stepping stone. With a peak daily rating crossing the 1000 mark in 2025, Evan has demonstrated a steady climb, all while juggling the chaos of blitz and bullet games.
His preferred battlefield? The classic King’s Pawn Opening, where he boasts a spotless 100% win rate in daily games. But Evan isn’t just a one-trick pony; victories have sprung from unorthodox openings such as the Dutch Defense and the English Opening Great Snake Variation—yes, even snakes slither onto his chessboard strategy!
While blitz hasn't always been kind, with more losses than wins, Evan’s resilience shines through with an impressive 35.71% comeback rate and a flawless 100% win rate after losing a piece—because surrendering isn’t in his DNA. The endurance to hang tough past the middlegame is reflected in his above-average 41% endgame frequency, proving he’s no stranger to grinding out the long haul.
Not one to be rattled easily, Evan’s psychological tilt factor sits low at merely 5, making him less likely to spiral into rage-quit-ville after a blunder. Early resignations are rare (8.33%), but when they happen, it’s like flicking the light switch to save energy for the next encounter.
His playing style carries a balanced, if modest, edge: a solid 40% win rate with the white pieces and a battle-tested 31.58% with black. On Fridays and Saturdays, 360Evan transforms into a near undefeatable master, boasting a perfect 100% weekly win rate – maybe weekend vibes bring out the grandmaster mojo!
Facing familiar foes, he has a stellar record against gurtbonk (83% wins) and a perfect 100% success rate against lesser-known challengers like jorgi2022 and avmooon. Though mycowan has figured out some rough tactics with a mere 25% win rate against Evan, it just fuels the fire for rematches.
When all’s said and done, Evan Van Pelt is the embodiment of persistence, humor, and an ever-curious mind—always ready to test new openings, laugh at a blunder, and above all, play the game for the sheer love of chess.
