AlanM357: The Rapid Riddler
AlanM357 is a spirited rapid chess player whose journey through the 64 squares is as unpredictable as a Van 't Kruijs Opening gambit. Climbing from a modest 229 rating to a max of 560 in 2025, Alan has played 232 rapid games, eking out a narrow positive score with 112 wins, 109 losses, and 11 draws. Not one to shy away from bold experiments, Alan boasts a remarkable 75% win rate in the Alekhine’s Defense and over 66% success in the French Defense and Queens Pawn Mikenas Defense alike.
What sets Alan apart? A comeback rate of 57%, often snatching victory even after losing material, complete with a perfect 100% win record when playing from behind—a true phoenix of the chessboard. The only downside? Sometimes the thrill of the game gets the best of him, with a tilt factor of 7 hinting at a fiery temperament after tough losses.
Time-wise, Alan shines brightest on Sunday with nearly 59% win rate, and oddly enough, the mystical hour of 23:00 is flawless—100% wins, perhaps fueled by midnight snacks or caffeine-fueled inspiration. The 14:00 hour is also a sweet spot, boasting a 71.43% success rate, suggesting afternoons are prime time for top-notch moves.
With an average game length of around 50 moves for wins and slightly less for losses, Alan plays the long game, enjoying endgames nearly half the time. The balance of power swings slightly towards black pieces dominance with a 52% win rate, hinting at Alan’s comfort on the dark squares.
AlanM357 is not just a player but a tactical showman, blending resilience, tactical awareness, and a dash of unpredictability. Opponents beware—whether wielding the Owens Defense or throwing down the Queens Pawn Opening, Alan’s games are anything but boring.
