Clément Hermelin (clemelec36) - A Chess Story

If chess were a sport of wild rollercoasters, Clément Hermelin would be front seat, hands in the air, screaming joyfully (or maybe grumbling at a blunder). Known online as clemelec36, Clément is a player whose passion for the game is matched only by his rollercoaster-like rating graph in blitz and rapid formats.

Performance Peak: The Meteoric Rise

In early 2025, Clément carved his name into the digital chess battleground with a rapid peak rating of 428 (February 26) and a blitz peak rating of 341 reached on March 5. A dazzling daily rating peak of 770 in May further cements his versatility across time controls. He's clearly not just a one-trick pawn.

Style & Strategy

The King’s Pawn Opening is Clément’s bread and butter in blitz, boasting a respectable 54.22% win rate over 83 games. Yet, he shows a love-hate relationship with the Kings Knight Variation, which yields just under 43% wins. With a flair for surprise, Clément also excels in the Van t Kruijs Opening, winning nearly 62% of those clashes.

His game length tells a tale: wins come in around 49 moves, while losses tend to drag on longer at nearly 59 moves, perhaps hinting he’s the kind of player who refuses to give up without a fight.

Tactical Prowess and Psychological Battlefield

The comeback king — Clément bounces back after setbacks with a 78.52% success rate, showing that throwing in the towel early is not his style (early resignation rate is a modest 4.1%). However, beware his tilt factor of 11, which suggests he can get a tad frustrated when the chess gods aren’t smiling.

His prime battle hours? Late afternoons, especially 16:00, where his win rate dances around an impressive 71%. Maybe chess strategy shines brightest when the sun is low and the brain is primed.

Recent Battles: The Good, the Bad, and the Checkmated

Clément recently sealed a thrilling victory by checkmate in just under 22 moves against an opponent named emreeeeeeeee535353, demonstrating a killer instinct at the board. However, no hero’s journey is complete without defeats—he’s taken some tough checkmates from opponents like n22xav and Mohammad-Saleh-geraii. After all, even the mighty sometimes fall.

Opponent Chronicles

While Clément has tangled most frequently with cecileherm (22 games!), it's his 100% win records against a quirky cast of usernames like emreeeeeeeee535353, itzamu, and funkemonke0992444 that stand out. But no chess warrior is undefeated—he's met his match several times, reminding us that every game is a new adventure.

Summary

With a balanced mix of strategic patience and tactical bursts, Clément Hermelin embodies the spirit of a dedicated chess enthusiast thriving in online arenas. His fluctuating ratings, multiple plank-worthy openings, and penchant for thrilling comebacks make every game exciting to watch... and possibly stressful if you're his opponent. Whether on the battlefield of blitz, rapid, or daily chess, clemelec36 keeps pushing pawns, crafting checkmates, and maybe questioning his Bishop’s life choices.

One thing’s for sure: this is one player who won’t just sit quietly in the corner of the 64 squares.
