Matthew - The Chess Dynamo

Matthew, also known online as dragonsgorawr, is a blitz enthusiast who’s carved his kingdom on the 64 squares with a fiery mix of sharp tactics and relentless energy. Starting from a humble Blitz rating of 585 in 2024, Matthew skyrocketed to an impressive peak of 2216 within the same year—an astonishing rise that keeps opponents guessing whether it’s skill or sheer luck at play.

His blitz record boasts 298 wins out of 466 games, snatching victory nearly 64% of the time—most often utilizing a mysterious opening simply dubbed "Top Secret." Don’t ask what it is; Matthew prefers to keep his secrets wrapped tighter than a king’s fortress. With a lightning-fast Bullet rating of 2239 from a single perfect game win, he’s proven speed chess isn’t just about moving quickly—it’s about moving smart, too.

Matthew’s strategic prowess is evident in his astonishing 85% comeback rate and a flawless 100% win rate after losing a piece. He might lose a pawn or two, but he’s got the psychological stamina and sharp eye to turn tables faster than you can say “checkmate.” His longest winning streak? A jaw-dropping 19 consecutive victories. That's longer than some chess rivalries last!

He isn’t just about the numbers—Matthew plays a long game with an average of 72 moves per win, delighting in the intricate dance of endgames, which he actively seeks almost 72% of the time. If you meet him at the board, don’t expect a quick surrender; early resignation is simply not in his vocabulary.

When the chips are down, Matthew’s calm steadiness shines. His “tilt factor” is impressively low at 6, meaning he keeps his cool better than a few ice cubes in a winter storm. He especially dominates on Tuesday, Thursday, and Monday, boasting win rates above 70% on those days—clearly the best days to challenge him are... well, maybe never.

Against friends or formidable foes, Matthew holds his ground with a white-piece win rate of 66.5% and isn’t far behind with black at 61.3%. His favorite trading partners include "19jax"—whom he’s bested 9 out of 11 times—and plenty of other players who’ve felt his dragon roar. But beware, Matthew is always hungry for fresh challenges and new rivals to conquer.

In summary, Matthew is a wizard of the quick game, a tactician with nerves of steel, and a chess player who lives up to his username dragonsgorawr: fierce, unpredictable, and a little bit mythical.
