Meet cammerdude, a tenacious chess enthusiast whose love for the game is as persistent as their pursuit of that elusive perfect rating. Despite not hitting the super-grandmaster levels (yet!), cammerdude’s journey is a fascinating tale of ups, downs, and plenty of strategic plotting.

Rating Rollercoaster

From humble beginnings in 2023, with a rapid rating dipping as low as 522, cammerdude showed remarkable grit, clawing their way uphill to a dazzling peak rapid rating of 1009 in November 2024 — a milestone that's nothing to scoff at for anyone who’s ever lost to a pawn promotion. Their blitz and bullet ratings may not command the same awe (peaking around 586 and 780 respectively), but every grandmaster knows bullet is basically the game of chess as played by squirrels on espresso shots.

Playing Style & Personality

Known for an early resignation rate of just 5.73%, cammerdude doesn’t throw in the towel easily. They average around 56 moves in wins — quite the marathoner — and are known for their substantial endgame frequency at 54%. This suggests a player who thrives in the trenches and is not just a flash-in-the-pan spectacular.

Do they tilt? Just a bit. With a tilt factor of 8, cammerdude might occasionally talk to the chessboard, blaming pawns for sneaky forks. But their comeback rate of 73.15% shows they’re more likely to bounce back than rage quit. Like a phoenix... wearing a chess-patterned cape.

Signature Openings & Tricks

Cammerdude guards their secrets fiercely, with many games played under the mysterious "Top Secret" category — talk about keeping opponents guessing! When the fog clears, you’ll find a sprinkle of Italian Game, Ponziani Opening, Scandinavian Defense, and some rare blitz defenses showing up in their repertoire. Their latest rapid victory featured a crafty Scandinavian Defense Mieses-Kotrc Variation, forcing an opponent to blink (and eventually resign) after a clever knight manoeuvre.

Recent Adventures on the Board

In the most recent tournament action, cammerdude won with style on May 21, 2025, against PradeepVanGilst, leveraging precise play and timing to secure a resignation victory. Of course, no journey is without bumps — just hours earlier that day, cammerdude suffered a loss on time against huynn312, a reminder that even the best have those "wait — where did my clock go?" moments.
