Andrew: The Chess Cell-ebrity

Meet Andrew, a player whose chess journey is nothing short of an evolutionary saga. Since 2008, Andrew has been navigating the complex DNA of daily chess battles, with a maximal rating spiral peaking at 1481 before settling into a steady rhythm around the 1000 mark in 2009. Although his win-loss ratio might make you think he’s still in the incubation phase (with 8 wins and 16 losses), Andrew’s chess gameplay reveals some fascinating biological quirks worth a closer look.

Andrew’s openings are as diverse as a coral reef, dabbling in everything from the Philidor Defense Nimzowitsch Variation, where he boasts a 50% win rate, to the more mysterious Undefined openings – a genetic experiment of sorts with a 16.7% success rate. Some openings, like the King’s Pawn Opening and the Sicilian Defense Bowdler Attack, seem to leave him shell-shocked, with zero wins recorded.

In terms of psychological resilience, Andrew’s tilt factor is low-ish at 11, showing he doesn’t get too rattled, though his early resignation rate is quite high at 62.5%. Maybe he’s a bit like a nervous critter scuttling for safety at the first sign of danger! Despite this, he maintains a 100% win rate after losing a piece – a true comeback gene at work, proving he’s no one-trick pony but a determined survivor ready to pounce.

Andrew’s longest winning streak of 7 shows potential for bursts of brilliance, and he’s most comfortable on the battlefield during morning hours (8–9 am) and late evening (22:00), hitting a perfect 100% win rate during these times. His favorite hunting grounds are Tuesday and Thursday, where his win rates spike impressively, suggesting a circadian rhythm finely tuned for chess conquest.

Though he sometimes faces formidable opponents like superchess2 and bervoets3s—with whom he has yet to secure a victory—Andrew is formidable against the lesser-known species like junbug and left_i, boasting a flawless 100% win rate. A master of adaptation, Andrew’s average game length hovers around 15 moves whether he wins or loses, demonstrating a balanced approach in his strategic genome.

In short, Andrew might not always be perched atop the rating tree, but his strategic DNA is packed with enough surprises to keep opponents guessing. Whether he’s playing the Indian Game or unleashing his Top Secret variation, Andrew is a fascinating specimen in the ecosystem of chess.
