Profile: egiendk - The Rise of the Scandinavian Specialist

Meet egiendk, a chess player whose blitz rating skyrocketed from a humble 183 in August 2023 to a blazing 725 by May 2025—talk about a meteoric rise! Not just fast on the clock but also sharp with opening theory, particularly favoring the Scandinavian Defense (Mieses-Kotrc Variation), boasting an impressive 83% win rate in blitz games. If openings were pizza toppings, egiendk would be ordering extra Scandinavian with a side of Bishop’s Opening and Italian Game—both over 80% win rates—making opponents wonder if they showed up for chess or a gourmet meal.

Though egiendk has a playful streak—losing some games on time and resigning about 22% of the time early—his tactical awareness is no joke, with a 60% win rate even after losing a piece. Quite the comeback wizard, turning setbacks into victories more than half the time!

Timing is everything, and this player knows it well, flaunting a perfect 100% win rate at 11 AM and 2 AM, and an overall preference for afternoon and evening battles, especially on Thursdays and Mondays with over 70% wins. Perhaps a night owl or an early bird with a penchant for chess brilliance!

When not dazzling with sharp moves and strategic mastery, egiendk enjoys competitive rivalries, notably with opponents like tronya13 and anotherbigsenn, whom he’s beaten 100% of the time, while gui2101 seems to have cracked the code with a spotless record against him. Like every great hero’s journey, some foes remain challenges to overcome.

In terms of playing style, expect long, thoughtful encounters averaging around 58 moves per win and a love for the endgame—hunting for that final checkmate with patience and precision.
