Edrrick: The Enigmatic Chess Journeyman

Meet Edrrick, a rapid-paced tactician whose chess journey is as colorful as his fluctuating ratings! While not quite a grandmaster (yet), Edrrick exhibits a fascinating blend of perseverance, sporadic brilliance, and the occasional "Why did I just do that?" moments that make chess such a thrilling sport.

Rating Rollercoaster & Style

Over the first half of 2025, Edrrick navigated the rapid chess battleground with a max rating peak of 645 in March, followed by a respectable hold around mid-600s in May. His blitz and bullet skills reflect the “let’s try but maybe not win” approach, with highs of 609 (blitz) and 165 (bullet, but only a single game — caution!) respectively.

A swashbuckler in the opening phase, Edrrick's secret weapon—aptly named "Top Secret"—yields a solid 56.63% win rate in rapid games across 166 battles. However, some defenses like the Scandinavian have proven less friendly, with barely a quarter of games ending in victory.

Psychology & Playtime

With an early resignation rate of 15.6%, Edrrick isn’t shy about waving the white flag if things look bleak. Yet, his comeback rate of 57.14% suggests he's also no quitter, often clawing his way back from adversity. Let's just say, if the game was a soap opera, his antagonists get dramatic plot twists!

The best time to catch Edrrick firing on all cylinders? 4 PM sharp (16:00), where his win rate hits a perfect 100%. Whether this is due to caffeine, motivation, or just coincidence remains a mystery... and a reminder not to challenge him then.

Memorable Battles & Opponents

Edrrick's most recent triumphs feature slick checkmates and bold gambits, notably a recent explosive rapid victory via checkmate against an opponent rated 567, showcasing his attacking flair. Yet, he's not immune to occasional setbacks, such as a recent resignation loss to naeem197532, proving that even the sharpest blades can get dulled.

Playing Style

• Prefers White slightly, winning 54.03% of the time as White versus 45.74% as Black.
• Strong in the endgame with frequent endgame play nearly half the time (48.62%), averaging around 54 moves per win—patient and persistent.
• Tends to keep calm under pressure, though a modest tilt factor of 8 hints at the occasional emotional rollercoaster.

Overall

Edrrick embodies the heart of a true chess warrior—not always flawless, but always fighting smart, sometimes making the crowd gasp, and occasionally giving them a chuckle with his quirky ups and downs. Whether facing a favorite opponent or unlocking new openings from his invaluable "Top Secret" repertoire, Edrrick is a name to watch in the realm of dedicated rapid players.

Keep an eye out around 4 PM—you might just witness a rapid checkmate or two!
