BenMoud: The Relentless Grandmaster of the Digital Board
Meet BenMoud, a chess player whose journey is as unpredictable as a knight's leap — full of twists, turns,
and sometimes unexpected sacrifices. Starting with a humble blitz rating of 280 in 2023, BenMoud has tirelessly battled
over 5,000 blitz games, climbing the ranks to an impressive peak of 1296 by 2025. His bullet and rapid ratings tell a similar story of dedication and growth,
soaring from modest beginnings to over 1100 in rapid and nearly 900 in bullet formats.
Playing Style: Strategic Rollercoaster
BenMoud is the kind of player who doesn't just sit there waiting; with an endgame frequency of over 73%, he knows when to patiently maneuver and when
to strike. His average moves per win hover around 64, suggesting he enjoys a good tactical battle, while the longer average moves in losses hint at his
stubborn fighting spirit refusing to surrender easily. He has an early resignation rate just shy of 2%, proving he's tough enough to stick it out longer than most.
And speaking of sticking it out, his comeback rate is a staggering 79%, with a perfect 100% win rate after losing a piece. Talk about turning lemons into lemonade!
Favorite Openings: A Well-Stocked Arsenal
Whether it's blitz or rapid, BenMoud has perfected several openings. In blitz, the Queen's Pawn Opening Zukertort Variation is a signature move,
giving him a winning edge in over 52% of 344 games. He also dabbles successfully in the Mieses Opening and Colle System, each boasting around a 50% win rate.
Rapid games showcase his affection for the King’s Pawn Opening Leonardis Variation, where his win rate is north of 53%. And let's not forget the Bullet battles,
where the Scandinavian Defense and Queen's Pawn Zukertort Variation have been his trusty companions, clocking win rates above 55%.
Mental Fortitude & Personality
With a tilt factor of 9, BenMoud proves he's human — occasionally rattled but never broken. His psychological resilience is top-notch,
offering him a 9.63% advantage in rated games over casual ones, hinting at his competitive edge when the stakes are high.
Although his longest winning streak stands at 12 games, his current streak rests at zero — probably plotting a spectacular comeback as we speak.
Social Side and Opponents
BenMoud plays a generous mix of opponents with some rivals sadly managing to hold him to a 0% win rate (looking at you, "kahrang" with 13.64% win rate against him),
while others have inspired an impressive 100% clean slate wins. If chess had fan clubs, "jipkees" and "easternbeast" might be in his top pivot squad, both at 100%.
When Does BenMoud Strike?
Interestingly, BenMoud’s best performance happens late at night and in the wee hours. With win rates soaring over 61% around 4 a.m. and a respectable 53% at 7 p.m.,
it seems that while most of us are chasing sleep, BenMoud is busy chasing victory — preferably before breakfast.
Final Word
In the ever-twisting battle of black and white, BenMoud is a player who embodies heart, hustle, and a hint of mischief.
He’s well on his way from being the "friendly neighborhood blunderer" to a feared grandmaster of online chess arenas.
So next time you meet BenMoud on the board, prepare for a fight that’s as entertaining as it is challenging!
