EDyorker

Profile Summary: EDyorker

Meet EDyorker, a tenacious Rapid chess player who has been dancing across the 64 squares since at least 2023, wielding the King's Pawn like a pro and occasionally dabbling in the Philidor Defense with hopes and dreams. With a peak Rapid rating of 781 achieved in April 2023, EDyorker has tasted the thrill of victory and the bitter sting of defeat in nearly 200 battles.

This chess warrior isn't afraid to push pawns forward despite the odds — sporting a career record for Rapid games of 70 wins, 99 losses, and 12 draws. They have faced some foes multiple times, notably mordy711, against whom the rivalry clocked in at 11 games with a sneakily low win rate of just over 9%. But don't mistake losses for lack of fight: EDyorker boasts a remarkable comeback rate of 57.14%, proving time and again that giving up is never an option.

Playing style? Expect a dash of patience and strategic endurance. With an average of nearly 63 moves per win, EDyorker prefers the marathon over the sprint, showing a fondness for endgames, happening in 51% of games. Though the early resignation rate sits at 14%, it's usually a tactical retreat rather than surrender — chess, after all, is a mental battlefield.

When it comes to openings, the King's Pawn Opening is the trusty steed, despite a modest 23.8% win rate, followed by a slightly better record with the Philidor Defense at 35.3% — because if you're going to lose, lose stylishly with classic defenses. The Petrov's Defense Classical Variation has surprisingly yielded a solid 50% win rate, so clearly EDyorker knows how to spring a few traps when less expected.

Humor is essential in chess, and EDyorker proves it with a longest losing streak of 11 games (relatable to many mere mortals), but also a longest winning streak of 5 games, showing flashes of brilliance and (we presume) some victorious fist pumps. Their best time to play is at 2 PM, coinciding with their 100% win rate at 14:00 hours — perhaps fueled by a well-timed coffee or an inspiring pep talk from the mirror.

If you catch EDyorker mid-game, expect a fierce battle where white pieces yield a 37.8% win rate, and black edges out slightly better at 39.6%. In the heat of tactical tension, they win roughly 30% of the time after losing a piece — a testament to their resilience, though there's room to sharpen that legendary coming-back-from-the-brink magic.

Their recent games are a rollercoaster: a triumphant victory against rxmqqi by resignation, showcasing tactical pressure and psychological mastery, followed by some tough losses by checkmate — chess’s way of saying “Well played, better luck next time.”

All in all, EDyorker is the kind of player chess enthusiasts root for — a fearless, sometimes quirky competitor who embraces the messiness of the game with open arms, always hungry for improvement, and ready to dazzle (or at least entertain) their audience with every move.

"Chess is life, but sometimes life resigns early… or wins spectacularly with a knight fork." — Probably EDyorker
