Beedge: The Relentless Rapid Rumbler

Meet beedge, a tenacious rapid chess warrior who plays with a blend of determination and humor worthy of the online battlefield. Although beedge's peak rapid rating settled around a modest 640 in September 2024, their journey on the 64 squares is nothing short of epic — full of comebacks, confident openings, and a sprinkle of chess mischief.

Rating Rollercoaster

Starting at a humble 599 rapid rating in late 2023, beedge quickly became a familiar face in rapid matches, playing over 2,200 games with a near-perfect storm of 1056 wins, 1048 losses, and 84 draws. The data suggests beedge embraces both victory and defeat equally — after all, every loss is just another step toward the next comeback.

Opening Repertoire: A Potpourri of Pawn Pushes

With a preference for classical lines, beedge often ventures into the King’s Pawn Opening, showcasing a win rate just over 50% — respectable for any chess battler. Other favorites include the aggressive Philidor Defense, with an impressive 53.6% win rate, and the more quirky Van't Kruijs Opening, where beedge demonstrates their modern creativity. Less successful but equally courageous are ventures into the Scotch Game and Three Knights Opening, where sometimes the battle gets less winning and more entertaining.

Playing Style & Psychological Prowess

Known for an early resignation rate of 7.63%, beedge knows when to cut losses — saving mental energy for future duels. Their games often stretch to an average of about 52 moves per win, proving endurance and love for the endgame grind (which they engage in nearly half of their matches). With a comeback rate nearing 59%, beedge is a master at snatching victory from the jaws of defeat, but beware: they tend to tilt after around 10 consecutive losses, proving even great warriors have their off days.

Peak Moments and Daring Victories

Highlights include a recent triumph with the black pieces using the Philidor Defense against YGBBILL, where after a series of tactical fireworks, beedge won by resignation — proving their opponents often throw in the towel rather than face the wrath of this determined tactician. Another shining moment was a careful endgame bossing against Raverum, winning cleanly by resignation once more.

When to Catch Beedge in Action

Oddly enough, the best time for beedge to flex their chess muscles is around 3 AM — clearly they are nocturnal grandmaster material, finding clarity in the witching hours. Playing at 20:00 hours also yields their highest win rate (near 56%), so evening matches beware!
