egodevanila: The Chess Enigma
Meet egodevanila, a blitz-loving chess enthusiast with a rating rollercoaster that rivals any thriller movie plot. Starting 2024 with fleeting moments of brilliance and despair (ranging from an eyebrow-raising 134 up to a solid 269), egodevanila quickly accelerated into a blitz frenzy, soaring as high as 691 in March 2025. Not bad for someone who probably still occasionally forgets which piece is the rook!
In the world of daily chess, egodevanila’s top rating peaked impressively at 758 in May 2025, proving resilience and dedication to the slow burn of thoughtful moves. Meanwhile, rapid games aren’t left behind either—clocking a peak of 717 in late 2024—and showcasing sharp tactical awareness that keeps opponents on their toes.
Style & Strength
With an average game length hovering around 60 moves for wins and slightly longer when losing, egodevanila plays the long game, often dancing through complex endgames, which appear in nearly 66% of matches. A comeback artist at heart (a 75% comeback rate!), they never back down easily, even after a piece goes missing.
Egodevanila favors the English Opening Reversed Sicilian Variation in blitz—winning over 60% of these encounters—offering a quirky but effective opening repertoire peppered equally with Sicilian and Dutch salad defenses. Opponents beware: this player has more opening variations up their sleeve than most have socks.
Recent Glories and Challenges
One recent masterpiece features egodevanila checkmating with an elegant queen maneuver (final move: Qd7#), glorious proof that patience combined with a bit of flair pays off. However, not every game ends in triumph; the stubborn adversaries TokyoLoveMe and vunavu recently halted their winning streaks, reminding us that even heroes have off days.
Psychological Quirks
When to catch egodevanila at their peak? Try early mornings around 3 AM, when their tilt factor is minimal and the strategic juices flow in overdrive. But beware: even the mightiest can face a short rough patch, currently on a minor three-game losing streak—but hey, it’s all part of the game!
