Cailin Chetty - FIDE Master Extraordinaire

Meet Cailin Chetty, a chess warrior who holds the impressive title of FIDE Master. With a mind sharp enough to slice through even the trickiest openings, Cailin has battled their way through hundreds of games across various time controls—Rapid, Bullet, Blitz, and even the elusive Daily chess (but hey, who plays that slow when there’s blitz to win?).

A Journey Through the Ranks

Starting their recorded chess adventure around 2016, Cailin’s rating journey reads like a thrilling novel. They’ve climbed steadily, with a rapid rating peaking over 2200 and a bullet high of around 2237—impressive speeds for someone moving pieces faster than most can blink. Their blitz games hit peaks near 2245, proving that when it comes to fast chess, Cailin is no stranger to victory.

Playing Style & Personality

Known for a phenomenal comeback rate of 90% and a 100% win rate after losing a piece (because who needs all their pieces anyway?), Cailin's games are filled with drama and excitement. Early resignations are almost nonexistent (only about 2%), showing gritty resilience—though they clearly know when to fold 'em.

The average win takes nearly 78 moves, so patience is a virtue for this maestro, while losses tend to close out quicker at around 63 moves. Their endgame frequency, a staggering 72.82%, suggests Cailin is happiest playing the marathon—slow, strategic, and with a cup of coffee in hand.

Opening Secrets and Streaks

With a mysterious 'Top Secret' opening weapon used over a thousand times in bullet chess alone, Cailin keeps opponents guessing and scratching their heads. Their longest winning streak? A jaw-dropping 13 games in a row! Currently, they’re warming up with a fresh winning streak of 1—always hungry for more.

Opponents Beware

Facing foes like "pawnwonder" (113 games tackling), "sixgrandsons," and "thee-chessboy," Cailin's win rates vary, but there's one thing for sure: it's never dull. They handle pressure well, though an occasional tilt factor of 12 reminds us even masters have their moments when the chess gods are not smiling.

Fun Facts

  • Wins more often on Tuesdays and Thursdays (win rate around 45-46%)—so plan your challenging game accordingly.
  • Their peak tactical moments hit around the 16:00 and 20:00 hours, with win rates near 50%.
  • Comes back stronger after losses, turning defeats into victories like a chess phoenix.

So whether you’re a casual player or a serious competitor, beware: when you face Cailin "cailinchetty" Chetty, you’re up against a resilient, fast, and sometimes secretive chess force to be reckoned with.
