Meet Paul, The Fearless FIDE Master

Paul, also known in some circles as der_maulwurf, is not your average chess enthusiast. Awarded the prestigious title of FIDE Master, Paul has turned the 64 squares of the chessboard into a personal playground of tactical wizardry and strategic dominance.

A Blitz and Rapid Dynamo

In the lightning-fast world of Blitz chess, Paul’s rating rocketed from a humble 1994 in 2021 to a blistering peak of 2540 within just 50 games. With a win rate of 84% in Blitz and an astounding 79% in Rapid using the cryptic “Top Secret” opening — which rivals might say deserves its own cloak and dagger — it’s clear Paul plays to win, and wins to play.

Unstoppable Winning Streaks and Masterful Comebacks

Forget hot streaks; Paul’s longest winning spree was a staggering 41 games. Currently, they’re riding a cool 7-game win streak, steadily reminding opponents why Early Resignation is not in Paul’s vocabulary. If the game gets tough, Paul’s tactical awareness shines, boasting a 100% win rate after losing a piece and a spectacular 85.67% comeback rate. When the going gets tough, Paul gets going.

Psychological Warfare and Time Mastery

Paul’s tilt factor is practically non-existent at 5 (chess players, you know that’s impressively chill). Known to dominate the board especially on weekends — Sundays being a sweet spot with nearly 90% win rate — they also have a perfect 100% win rate in games started at 7 AM (either a morning genius or danger before the coffee kicks in).

The Master of Endgames and Longer Games

With over 77% frequency of endgame play and an average winning game lasting nearly 80 moves, Paul is patient, resilient, and enjoys the long con. Both playing White and Black pieces bring solid winning percentages (79% and 81% respectively), proving versatility across the board and the clock.

Enemy Records and Rivals Beware

Paul's win rates against most recent opponents like capa_fan and chubbyminions are a flawless 100%, except for the mysterious “deathadder96” who managed to cling to a rare victory. As for chess engines like Stockfish and Komodo, well, Paul’s results tell tales of both epic victories and humbling defeats — because even masters love a challenge!

In summary, Paul’s blend of tactical genius, psychological fortitude, and chessboard charisma make them a formidable force. Opponents beware: This FIDE Master doesn’t just play chess — they master it with a wink and a smile.
