Chess Biography: Eden (aka EDO-44)
Meet Eden, known in the chess world as EDO-44, a player whose journey on the 64 squares is as dynamic as their rating fluctuations. With a rapid rating peak of 681 back in early 2024 and a daily rating high of 800, Eden is no stranger to the thrill of the game, even if the ride has had its ups and downs.
Dubbed a "comeback artist," Eden boasts an impressive 64.55% comeback rate after falling behind, proving that surrender is hardly an option. However, let’s not sugarcoat it — their 10.61% early resignation rate suggests that sometimes even Eden knows when the ship is sinking (probably to save energy for the next battle).
Eden prefers to keep opponents on their toes, mastering openings like the Alekhine's Defense - Scandinavian Variation and the Bishop’s Opening, with win rates hovering around 50-60% in some lines — quite respectable if a bit adventurous.
Their playstyle leans toward endurance, with an average of roughly 43 moves per win and a tendency to navigate endgames nearly half of the time. Interestingly, Eden shines brightest around 6 PM, where their win rate hits a striking 100% — clearly a great time for their chess magic. Afternoons and mornings bring mixed results, so prospective opponents beware if you play Eden in the early evening!
In blitz, Eden’s journey is still budding with a peak rating of 249 and a few rough patches, but their strategic thinking in rapid time controls is where they truly sparkle — although those who play Eden at rapid pace may occasionally witness the mysterious phenomena of time expiration losses, adding some drama to the game.
Known to struggle a bit against higher-rated foes (with a tough 6.35% win rate), Eden dominates more comfortably against lower-rated friends, boasting an overwhelming 85.34% win percentage there. It’s clear where the confidence lies!
