ArchdukeShrimp

Profile of ArchdukeShrimp

Once upon a chessboard, in the digital battlegrounds of online chess, emerged a formidable and slightly crustacean-themed warrior known as ArchdukeShrimp. From humble beginnings in 2012 with a blitz rating barely scraping above 900, ArchdukeShrimp rapidly shelled and surged through the ranks, eventually cracking the 2600 blitz barrier in 2025—a feat not many pawns dare dream of.

Rating Journey & Style

ArchdukeShrimp’s rating climb reads like a legend: from baby steps in Bullet and Daily, to serious showdowns in Rapid and Blitz formats. With a peak Blitz rating of 2604 and a Bullet peak at 2505, the shrimp proves that small packages can pack a punch! Though known for an early resignation rate of 67.43% (someone call the rehab!), ArchdukeShrimp prefers to keep things spicy and sometimes admits ‘enough is enough’ before checkmate arrives.

The player’s average moves per win hover around 28, showing that shrimp doesn’t merely pinch a win but cooks it thoroughly. White pieces enjoy a slight upper hand with a 51.7% win rate, but Black isn’t left out in the cold either, winning just over 51% of the time. ArchdukeShrimp’s comebacks, while possible, come with a modest 29.35% rate, and a strong endurance to stick it out after losing material (48.12% win rate).

Opening Repertoire

When asked about openings, ArchdukeShrimp is a master of the mysterious Top Secret opening—played in nearly 83,000 blitz games! But beware the power of the Queen's Pawn Opening Chigorin Variation, where the shrimp shines with a 63.9% win rate. Other favorites include the Scandinavian Defense and various Queen's Pawn variations, all wielded with crustacean cunning.

Recent Encounters

ArchdukeShrimp recently delivered a checkmate victory in a fierce game against “23mangeux” on May 14, 2025, showcasing the player’s prowess in clutch moments. This victory featured precise moves and patient endgame prowess - truly shrimp-tastic! Yet, even masters face tides; ArchdukeShrimp lost a game on time to “Replicadoe” the same day, reminding us that even the mightiest bite can slip.

Personality & Gameplay Quirks

With a tilt factor of 28, our shrimp prefers to keep cool under pressure—but not always without a few bubbles. The best time to catch ArchdukeShrimp in action? Around 11:00 AM when mental claws are sharpest. The rating difference between casual and rated games is negligible, suggesting a player who treats every match with serious shrimp respect.

Some opponents suffer a 0% win rate against the shrimp, while others sneak past with more success. ArchdukeShrimp's win rate varies wildly by opponent — some lucky few bask in sunshine, others get nipped mercilessly.

In Closing
