Edwin1799: The Relentless Chess Adventurer
Meet Edwin1799, a spirited chess enthusiast whose journey through the kingdoms of pawns and kings is nothing short of a rollercoaster ride! Currently boasting a peak rapid rating of 367 and a bullet high of 229, Edwin navigates the battlefield with a quirky mix of daring attacks and strategic gambits that keep opponents guessing.
A Strategic Snapshot
- Rapid Play: 52 wins, 61 losses, and 7 draws across 120+ games — the perfect training ground to sharpen those tactics!
- Blitz and Bullet: While blitz has been a tough nut (1 loss), bullet battles have produced a respectable 2 wins out of 5. Speed vs. strategy? Edwin's still experimenting.
- Opening Repertoire Highlights: Fans of the Queen’s Pawn Opening Horwitz Defense might recognize Edwin’s name, where he enjoys a 71% win rate. But don’t underestimate the Kings Pawn Opening Leonardis Variation — a flawless 4 wins in 4 games signals some secret weapon mastery.
Playing Style & Psychology
Endgames are Edwin's playground, featuring in nearly half of all his matches. With an average game length hovering around 50 moves, battles stretch on, proving that patience is a virtue — though sometimes mixed with a bit of 'early resignation' to keep the excitement alive (~11%).
Despite a modest tilt factor of 6, he maintains a Jedi-like rebound ability with a comeback rate of 67%. Losing a piece doesn’t always mean game over, as he fights back with a gritty 37% win rate after such setbacks.
Time and Opponents
Midnight gaming sessions seem to be Edwin’s sweet spot — a perfect 100% win rate at 12 AM (chess vampires, anyone?). Mondays bring good fortune too, with a 67% win rate to jumpstart the week.
Edwin’s nemeses and allies form a colorful gallery of usernames. He has charmingly undefeated records against some opponents like albisroger and sarso83, yet faces tough challenges against others such as mervan4444 and kai_luna. Rivalries spice up the game and drive Edwin's quest for improvement.
Memorable Moments
Among his recent battles, one stands out: a dramatic encounter where Edwin, playing black, pulled off a striking victory via game abandonment against albisroger. The battlefield was an unconventional opening leading to an audacious knight sacrifice — proof that surprise is a key element in Edwin's playbook.

Edwin1799's chess tale is still being written, filled with daring moves, tough lessons, and moments of brilliance. Whether it's rapid, blitz, or bullet, Edwin keeps the game fun, challenging, and never dull.
