Almuth Emma

Almuth Emma (aka Cameleone)

Once upon a time in the digital chess world, emerged a player known as Cameleone, whose chess journey has been as dynamic and colorful as their username suggests. Almuth Emma began her adventure on Chess.com around 2012 and quickly proved that she’s no ordinary pawn in the game of kings and queens.

Rating Ride and Game Style

Starting with a modest blitz rating of 1366 in November 2012, Almuth's brilliance and persistence soon pushed her peak blitz rating to a formidable 2136 in February 2017—enough to make even grandmasters raise an eyebrow. Not content with blitz alone, she dabbled successfully in daily, bullet, and rapid formats, peaking at 2212 in daily chess and showcasing versatility that keeps opponents guessing.

Her love affair with openings is quite evident, especially with the Alapin Sicilian Defense and Closed Sicilian Defense. A fierce proponent of tactical fireworks, she has mastered the art of comeback with an impressive 85.67% comeback rate — clearly, plastic pieces do not scatter easily in her hands.

Battle Stats and Psychological Warfare

Over a whopping 27,000 blitz games, Almuth has accumulated more than 12,000 wins. Sure, even the best get bumped off the board sometimes, with about 13,531 blitz losses, but hey, the losses only fuel her fire! Her longest winning streak is a blazing 14 games, though she’s had to endure tough times such as an 11-game losing streak. When the chips are down, Almuth’s tilt factor is a commendable 11 — low enough to keep her from throwing her kernel-ridden laptop out the window.

Daily Chess Dominance

Daily chess is where Almuth truly shines with a sky-high winning percentage and an unstoppable knack for snatching victories after losing material. With an endgame frequency of 76.76%, she’s not just about quick wins — she’s a grind-it-out strategist who knows how to squeeze every last drop of advantage in long battles.

Recent Triumphs and Battles

Her recent games tell tales of grit and finesse – one of her latest wins was a slick victory in the French Defense Advance (Paulsen Main Line), where Almuth outmaneuvered her opponent with a precise c5 push and quick development. The losses, of course, are just learning opportunities—like the tricky battle against Stockfish9x64 who punished a daring King's Gambit attempt.

Playing Fatigue? Never Heard of It!

Most impressive is Almuth's ability to play well almost all hours and days — her best playing time is around 1:00 AM (a time when most mortals dream of checkmating Z’s, not kings), suggesting that late-night blitz battles might be her secret sauce.

Quirks and Personality

Known for both patience and aggression, Almuth apparently enjoys endgames more than many ("Avg Moves per Win" topping nearly 79 moves), proving that in chess, slow and steady can indeed win the race. And when things don't go her way, she has a surprisingly low "one-sided loss rate" of 2.05%, meaning she rarely gets steamrolled – a sign of resilience or maybe just Born for the Long Game.

In summary: Almuth Emma is a determined, witty, and resilient force on the chessboard with a penchant for tricky openings, long strategic games, and making epic comebacks. Opponents beware — underestimating a Cameleone might just lead to checkmate in disguise!
