Brandon Ashe - National Master and Chess Connoisseur
Meet Brandon Ashe, a National Master whose chess prowess could probably checkmate your boredom before you can say "en passant." Known in chess circles by the fearsome alias amazingoid, Brandon has been stringing together wins and crushing pawns (and occasionally spirits) since at least 2012.
Career Highlights
- Title: National Master (earned at National level)
- Peak Bullet Rating: An astonishing 2831 in 2022-2023, proving lightning-fast moves are his bread and butter.
- Peak Blitz Rating: A formidable 2601 in 2016, showing his tactical skills shine even under time pressure.
- Rapid Rating has been a bit of a side quest, with a modest 2000 peak, but hey, who even plays Rapid when Bullet and Blitz offer such thrills?
Playing Style & Stats
With a win rate against most opponents tipping well above 70%, Brandon is a master tactician. He boasts a staggering comeback rate of nearly 80% and an almost mythical 99.36% win rate after losing a piece — which basically means if Brandon loses a pawn, he wins the war.
His games typically dance through a long average of 66 moves per win, suggesting he prefers intricate battles rather than quick finishes. But don’t be fooled — sometimes those quick finishes come with a bullet rating over 2800!
A Streak That Would Impress Even Magnus
Brandon once dazzled the chess server with a jaw-dropping 69-game winning streak. As of now, he is comfortably riding a 16-win streak, making the "resignation" button tremble in fear.
Opening Strategies
His opening repertoire is classified as Top Secret, which means so secret even Brandon isn’t quite willing to reveal it — but the results speak for themselves.
Chess Personality & Quirks
Psychologically, Brandon is resilient but not without his human quirks. He shows a tilt factor of 14, meaning he gets rattled from time to time, but nothing that a reset and a cup of coffee can’t fix. Rated games see him winning roughly 30% less than casual ones, likely because casual opponents aren’t quite expecting his level of relentless precision.
Opponent Highlights
Brandon’s most recent opponents have all shared the bitter taste of defeat, including "theodoritzky" and "geniusnickster" — all wiped out with a perfect 100% win rate for Brandon. Naturally, "computer4-impossible" was a slight challenge, with only a 3.7% win rate against that mechanical menace.
Fun Fact
Technically, Brandon’s chess rating sees peaks at strange hours: 100% win rate at 12pm, 13pm, and 17pm (which is an odd way to say 5pm), implying that Brandon’s brain is probably powered on a strict snack schedule.
All in all, Brandon Ashe is not just a chess player; he’s a chess force of nature — armed with a keyboard, a mouse, and a mind capable of turning even a lost game into a spectacular victory. Keep an eye on amazingoid — the boards tremble with every move he makes!
