Profile Summary for edwfidel1
Meet edwfidel1, a chess virtuoso who dances with the pieces like a grandmaster in the making – or maybe just the reigning king of tactical chaos! With a peak blitz rating soaring to an impressive 2374 at the very end of 2024, this player is no stranger to rapid-fire drama and time scrambles that would make even the clock sweat.
Specializing in the art of blitz, edwfidel1 has battled through nearly 40,000 blitz games, racking up close to 20,000 wins and showing remarkable resilience with a comeback rate of over 76%. Despite an average losing streak of 12, this warrior rarely cries checkmate without putting up a fight. Their knack for endgame play is notable, appearing in nearly 80% of games, and their tactical awareness shines through as they can still win close to half the time after losing material.
With a playful yet practical approach, the average number of moves per win hovers around 72, proving that edwfidel1 enjoys a good, drawn-out battle on the 64 squares rather than rushing to victory. Their opening repertoire is varied but boasts solid performances in tricky lines such as the Sicilian Defense Hyperaccelerated Dragon Variation and the Queen's Gambit Declined Exchange Variation, hitting win rates near or over 55% in these sharp battlegrounds.
Time of day plays a cheeky role in their success: mornings bring an early spark with a tilt factor of 12 (which presumably means some spicy moments), but the prime time for crushing opponents is at 7 AM — perfect for those who like to outwit opponents before breakfast! And if you catch them playing at 7-11 AM, watch out — win percentages peak over 50%, showing they’re at their best well before noon coffee.
On the psychological front, edwfidel1 can sometimes feel the pressure — as demonstrated by a negative rated vs. casual win difference — but that just adds to the human side of this chess gladiator’s journey. They win a lot, lose a little, but most importantly, they keep coming back for more.
