Meet edmynton81, a rapid chess warrior with a rollercoaster rating history that could rival any thriller novel. Starting at a solid 627 in May 2025, edmynton81’s rating took a steep dive – perhaps testing the limits of gravity – and settled around the mid-200s by June. With an overall rapid game record of 4 wins, 10 losses, and 1 draw, this player knows that sometimes it’s not about winning every battle, but enjoying the war.

Known for a somewhat daring playing style, edmynton81 embraces the endgame – with 73% of games going down to the bittersweet finale – proving patience and resilience, or maybe just stubbornness. The average win takes a lengthy 88 moves, so opponents better not get comfortable! On the flip side, games lost average 72 moves, hinting at epic struggles that refuse to end quietly.

Opening preferences? A mixed bag with spicy puzzles to solve. The King’s Pawn Opening is a decent friend, boasting a 66.67% win rate across a handful of matches. The English Opening King's English Variation and Queen's Pawn Opening are the superstars here with a perfect 100% win rate, albeit from very limited appearances – so maybe the secret weapons in critical moments.

This player’s tactical flair shines brightest on Thursday evenings around 9 PM UTC, where the win rate hits 100%, suggesting that’s prime time for checkmate fireworks. However, watch out for the dreaded Longest Losing Streak of 6 that tested both nerves and chess clocks alike – but did not break the spirit, as the current winning streak of 2 shows a commendable comeback.

Edmynton81’s games sometimes end abruptly with resignations (mostly on the loss side, 5 times), showing they’re not shy to admit “checkmate, you got me” when it’s clear. Yet when things get heated, they can deliver checkmate victories of their own, including a memorable recent one via the English Opening King's English Variation — boom, game over, and opponent's king swallowed by a tidal wave of tactics.

Playing as Black seems to hold a slight edge with a 37.5% win rate compared to the stingier 14.29% when wielding White pieces. Perhaps a preference, or maybe just a sneaky advantage that comes with dark pieces.

Whether battling friends like ahmad77x and arvin2206 (both 100% win rate against them) or struggling with foes like konoah_7, edmynton81 faces every game with a mix of grit, humor, and tactical surprises.

With a tilt factor of 6, they keep their cool better than most after a setback, even if the comeback win rate after losing a piece is a modest 15%. All in all, edmynton81 proves that chess isn’t only about ratings and stats — it’s about passion, perseverance, and maybe having a laugh when the queen is unexpectedly sacrificed.

Keep an eye on this player; the next brilliant move might just be a clock tick away!
