Eddie Meduza - International Master Extraordinaire

Meet Eddie Meduza, an International Master whose chess journey reads like a thrilling novel full of unexpected plot twists, breathtaking comebacks, and razor-sharp tactical blows. Eddie’s prowess particularly shines in blitz chess, where they’ve blitzed their opponents with a peak rating zooming past 2700—an eloquent testimony to lightning-fast thinking and nerves of steel.

Starting in 2017 with a respectable blitz rating of 2335, Eddie didn’t just sit back and sip coffee; they powered up, smashing through opponents and steadily climbing the ranks. By 2025, their blitz rating reached an impressive 2701, proving that they eat time pressure for breakfast. Also worth noting is their rapid rating which, while a tad more laid back, still showcases solid skill with a max of 2286.

Known for a remarkable 14-game winning streak (because one winning streak is never enough), Eddie also maintains a current 7-game hot streak. They do tend to take early resignations occasionally, but mostly because their opponents just can’t keep up with their sharp play and relentless pressure.

Their playing style? A blend of deep endgame mastery and patience—with over 86% of their games seeing them comfortable in endgames—combined with a comeback rate of over 91%. Lost a piece? No problem! Eddie’s win rate after losing material is a perfect 100%, as if downsizing somehow inspires their best chess moments.

Opponents beware: Eddie often plays “Top Secret” openings with a nearly unstoppable 92% win rate in rapid and a solid 58% in blitz. Their psychological resilience is impressive, though a tilt factor of 5 hints that when things go sideways, Eddie is just passionate, not panicky.

Whether pitting white or black pieces, Eddie holds the upper hand, with a 63% win rate playing white and over 54% with black. They also have an average of about 80 moves per win, showing endurance, strategic depth, and a refusal to give in early.

When Eddie plays, it’s often in the evening hours—peaking in effectiveness between 17:00 and 23:00—because clearly, the toughest battles are meant for prime time. And don’t expect casual games to be any easier: Eddie’s rated-versus-casual win difference suggests they play like a lion and a kitten interchangeably.

In summary, Eddie Meduza is a fierce chess warrior with a commanding presence on the board, a master of comebacks, and a specialist in blitz chaos. Opponents who face Eddie better bring their A-game or prepare to be dazzled by the brilliance of this International Master.
