Profile: berkdg - International Master
Meet berkdg, a chess aficionado who has proudly earned the prestigious title of International Master from FIDE. Combining fierce tactical awareness with a touch of style, berkdg’s chess games are anything but boring.
The Rise of a Blitz Warrior
Starting in 2019 with a Blitz rating around 1575, berkdg quickly shocked opponents and rating boards alike, rocketing to a peak Blitz rating of 2506 in 2020 — a meteoric rise that would make a knight jealous. While bullet chess seems to be their less kind arena (no wins out of 3 games), their Blitz chess prowess shines with a solid win rate hovering around 54.5% using an intriguingly reported "Top Secret" opening.
Playing Style & Psychology
Don’t expect early resignations here: berkdg is a fighter to the very end, with an impressive endgame frequency of nearly 90%. Matches are long, strategic battles averaging around 75 moves before a win is declared. The white pieces seem to bring them some extra magic with close to 60% wins, while black holds a respectable 44% win rate.
Psychologically, berkdg is the kind of player you don’t want to see angry — their tilt factor of 4 suggests occasional frustration, but their comeback rate is legendary at 95.83%, with an incredible 100% win rate after losing a piece. That's the definition of resilience! If you think you can rattle this player by grabbing a piece, think again: berkdg plays the long game and thrives in adversity.
Opponent Records & Notable Rivals
berkdg faces a variety of opponents, ranging from “awesomeidiot” (who earns a humble 50% win exchange) to "naruto-k," against whom berkdg maintains a sharp 75% winning edge. Against some, like “ck_russ” or “housdav,” luck or skill might not yet be in their favor, scoring no wins yet, promising thrilling future rematches!
Fun Facts & Quirks
- Most successful play hours seem to be early morning and noon, sporting a perfect 100% win rate at 8 and 12 o’clock.
- Longest winning streak stands proudly at four games — who said streaks are easy?
- Despite solid ratings, this player shows a playful side with a surprisingly low bullet chess win count — perhaps the blitz is more their dance floor.
In summary, berkdg is a dynamic and intriguing player with grit, patience, and enough tactical surprises under their belt to keep any opponent on their toes. International Master? More like International Strategist!
