Efgraf

Player Profile: Efgraf

Meet Efgraf, a rapid chess aficionado whose game has seen quite the rollercoaster ride. Starting humbly around a rapid rating of 852 in late 2022, Efgraf bravely battled through ratings dips and climbs alike to achieve a respectable peak of 1165 by mid-2025. A fighter at heart, this player has amassed over 171 wins in rapid games, showing resilience with a comeback rate of nearly 75% and a penchant for squeezing victories even after losing material.

Efgraf’s style is a blend of tenacity and tactical grit. Known for an early resignation rate of just 1.64%, they rarely give up early — unless it’s a tough Monday morning, where the win rate dips slightly. Speaking of timing, dawn (around 6 AM) is when Efgraf is most dangerous, boasting an 80% win rate at this hour. Possibly fueled by coffee or just sheer willpower, this is when their moves are slicker, and their endgames sharper, with an impressive frequency of engaging in the endgame phase (67% of the time).

As for openings, Efgraf loves familiar battlegrounds: their favored Italian Game variations and Giuoco Piano openings yield win rates hovering between 55% and 80%. One might say Efgraf enjoys classical structures with a modern twist, keeping opponents on their toes. Beware the Philidor Defense too — it’s a secret weapon with almost a 70% success rate.

Opponents beware: Efgraf has a mixed relationship with rivals, sailing through some with a perfect 100% win record (looking at you, yasssserr1 and zamyko), while others manage to snag wins now and then. It seems Efgraf’s "tilt factor" is a manageable 5 out of 10; they get mildly frustrated, but quickly get back to business.

One of Efgraf’s most glorious recent moments: on June 2nd, 2025, they delivered a checkmate with the finesse of a grandmaster-in-training. The victory featured the classic Bishop’s Opening leading to a clever rook maneuver to seal the deal — earning bragging rights and a fresh boost to that peak rating.

While not yet in the grandmaster pantheon, Efgraf’s steady climb, strategic diversity, and fighting spirit make them a player to watch. Whether you meet them at the chessboard in the early morning glow or on Sunday afternoons when their win rate jumps to nearly 70%, be ready for a game that’s anything but boring.
