Profile: edgar8a3

Meet edgar8a3, a tenacious chess player whose journey resembles a thrilling roller coaster through ratings, battles, and brain gymnastics. With a blitz peak rating sitting steadily around the mid-500s and a rapid rating flirting with the high 400s, edgar8a3 is that resilient competitor who refuses to let a lost piece dictate the game's outcome—boasting a perfect 100% win rate after losing material (talk about a comeback kid!).

Chess Odyssey

Starting in 2021 with a blitz rating around 445, edgar8a3 has improved steadily, peaking at 576 in 2023. Rapid play might seem like a fleeting affair—only 16 games in 2023—but when edgar8a3 takes rapid seriously, they hold their ground with a respectable 50% win rate. Not the flashiest grandmaster on the block, but definitely the player who keeps their flag flying when the going gets tough.

Style & Strategy

  • Early Resignations: 8.17% (because sometimes even warriors know when to retreat gracefully)
  • Endgame Frequency: Nearly half of games stretch into the endgame at 45.42%, so if you want to test your endgame skills against edgar8a3, bring your A-game!
  • Average Moves Played: Winning games are marathons of patience (~58 moves), while losses happen more swiftly (~42 moves).
  • Color Advantage: White win rate just under 50%, Black slightly less so—proving that edgar8a3 won't always find a comfort zone based on color alone.

The Psychology of Play

With a tilt factor around 14 (somewhere between cool cucumber and mildly annoyed), edgar8a3 shows impressive psychological resilience. They demonstrate a shocking 69.62% comeback rate and, humorously, a 14.59% tendency to lose sometimes in spectacular, one-sided fashion. Consistency may not be their middle name, but entertainment certainly is.

Favorite Opponents and Battles

Among recent opponents, edgar8a3 seems to have a love-hate relationship, dominating some foes completely, while others keep the scoreboard blank against them. One mystery is the “Top Secret” opening, their secret weapon used in tens of thousands of blitz games, just waiting to sneak under the radar and surprise opponents.

Quirky Stats

If you happen to play edgar8a3 on a Monday or Tuesday around 7 AM, watch out — their win rate spikes above 54%, so maybe that’s when the coffee kicks in. Conversely, late-night games at 4 AM show a humbling dip to about 37% win rate, proving that even chess warriors have their off-hours.

Summing It Up

edgar8a3 is the type of player who battles with grit and humor, ready to turn a losing position into a victory against all odds and sometimes resign with dignity if the stars aren’t aligned. Whether tickling the board with a long, grinding endgame or blitzing through crazy openings, edgar8a3 remains a true chess enthusiast—never afraid to test, learn, and most importantly, enjoy the battle of kings and pawns.
