Profile Summary: Evan Ai (CFalcons8)
Evan Ai is no ordinary chess enthusiast; they’ve earned the prestigious title of National Master from National, placing them among the elite thinkers of the chessboard. Evan’s journey is a rollercoaster of ratings, furious blunders, impressive comebacks, and moments of genius that make watching their games an absolute spectacle.
A Career in Ratings
Starting out with modest ratings back in 2013 (a blitz peak of 1469), Evan quickly climbed the ranks over the years. By the mid-2020s, their blitz rating skyrocketed beyond 2600, hitting a blistering peak of 2627 in August 2024! Bullet chess seems to be Evan’s playground too, with a staggering peak rating of 2699 in January 2025, making them nearly unstoppable when the clock is ticking.
Playing Style
Patience is Evan's game, with an average of around 75 moves per win or loss indicating long, strategic battles rather than quick skirmishes. They favor outwitting opponents slowly rather than a quick knockout, and their endgame frequency of nearly 79% proves that they’re comfortable in the trenches where pawns become queens and every move counts.
Despite their serious approach, Evan doesn’t shy away from early resignations when the tides turn, but only about 3.3% of the time—sometimes it’s just smarter to save energy for the next encounter.
Tactical Prowess & Mental Fortitude
With an impressive 82.7% comeback rate, Evan is the embodiment of persistence, often turning bad positions into victories. Their winning rate after losing a piece is almost half, a sign that no material loss is too grievous when combined with sharp tactical awareness.
One might say Evan lives by the motto, "Never say die on the chessboard." However, a tilt factor of 22 means even masters have their human moments — but who's counting?
Openings & Favorite Moves
Evan keeps the enemy guessing with a repertoire almost classified as "Top Secret". Some known facets include deft handling of the Sicilian Defense and the Queens Pawn openings. The Pirc Defense seems to have a personalized touch, with a perfect win rate in the rare games played.
Memorable Battles
In a recent clash against littlefireball03, Evan showcased surgical precision with the Reti Opening Queenside Fianchetto Variation, finishing with a delightful checkmate in just 30 moves — timing and technique perfectly aligned.
But as with any great warrior, Evan tastes defeat as well. Notably, a swift loss to farhadtahirov on time showed that even the best can be caught off guard by the relentless clock.
Psychological & Temporal Trends
When to challenge Evan? Probably not on Sundays or around 7-8 AM, when their win rates peak near 55-56%! A curious tidbit: their best time of day to play is 1 PM — clearly an early afternoon genius.
Their psychological battle is strong, but rated games show a tiny disadvantage compared to casual ones, reminding us all that chess doesn’t always follow the script.
Final Word
With thousands of games and hundreds of opponents faced, many times victorious, Evan remains a dynamic and resilient competitor, forever sharpening their skills and enjoying the beautiful chaos of chess. Whether blitz, bullet, rapid, or daily, Evan Ai commands respect on the 64 squares. A National Master who’s equal parts strategist, tactician, and maybe a dash of mischief!
