Edwin Dcosta (edgd270)

Meet Edwin Dcosta, a chess aficionado whose blitz adventures read like a rollercoaster ride through the kingdom of 64 squares! With a peak blitz rating of 660 in mid-2021, Edwin has faced the brave and the bold, winning over 2,100 blitz games, proving his enduring spirit even when the clock is mercilessly ticking down.

Renowned for his fondness of the Queens Pawn Opening and the cheeky Englund Gambit, he loves both solid strategic battles and sneaky gambits that keep opponents guessing. His favorite weapon? The Scandinavian Defense, which he wielded to thrilling effect as recently as June 2025, delivering a checkmate that would make even grandmasters raise an eyebrow.

Edwin is no stranger to the tussle of rapid and bullet time controls either, boasting peak rapid and bullet ratings of 781 and 800 respectively — impressive numbers that speak to his versatile and dynamic style. But beware: he has a soft spot for early resignations, clocking a 12% early resignation rate. Either he's a grandmaster of knowing when to call it quits, or he’s just really good at spotting the inevitable.

His tactical awareness shines through with a remarkable 71% comeback rate — a testament to his fighting spirit when the going gets tough. If he loses a piece, don’t count him out; Edwin has a nearly 45% win rate afterward, proving resilience is his middle name.

Interestingly, Edwin seems to have his best moves when the clock strikes 10 AM, boasting over a 55% win rate at this hour — perhaps fueled by strong coffee or just perfect morning vibes! Mondays and Wednesdays are his days, with nearly 50% victory rates, so consider scheduling a match with him accordingly.

As for opponents, Edwin has a knack for claiming victories against many, including a perfect record against “mbshow11”, “shubham_mdcxi”, and “jesuttles” — you might want to avoid these usernames if you’re feeling lucky. Yet, some like “oicona” have managed to snatch wins from his hands, proving that every chess saga has its ups and downs.

Off the board, Edwin might be plotting his next creative opening or pondering whether sacrificing a knight was really the best idea — after all, his average moves per win (about 54) suggest he's no quick blitzer, but loves the slow grind for victory. His endgame appearances are frequent, involved in over 44% of his games, showing his stamina for long strategic fights.

In summary, Edwin Dcosta is a passionate, daring player who embraces every challenge with gusto and a sly smile. With plenty of victories, some heartwarming comebacks, and a chess style that's as unpredictable as a cat on a chessboard, he's a competitor worth watching and a personality worth celebrating.
