Eilia Zomorrodian - The FIDE Master Extraordinaire
Meet Eilia Zomorrodian, a chess virtuoso who proudly carries the title of FIDE Master, a badge earned through battles on 64 squares that would make even the most stoic grandmasters raise an eyebrow. Known online as Emeraldddd, Eilia has mastered not just the classic game but has blitzed and bulleted their way into the hearts of chess fans worldwide.
With a peak blitz rating soaring to an impressive 2760 in early 2022 and a bullet high of 2744 reached in late 2023, Eilia’s rapid skills also shine bright with a consistent 2503 rating. Behind these numbers lies a player with a taste for daring, demonstrated by an early resignation rate of over 71%. Hey, why waste time dragging out the agony when victory or defeat can be sealed swiftly? Eilia prefers swift and decisive action—plus, if you resign early, you get more time for snacks.
An avid tactician, Eilia boasts a comeback rate of nearly 28% and a stubborn refusal to surrender without a fight, winning almost 43% of games even after losing a piece. Their playing style is a fascinating cocktail of fierce aggression, deep endgame knowledge (or at least an attempt at it with a 26-move average win), and a love for the element of surprise. Opponents beware: this is no ordinary chess player; Eilia is a dancing knight in a sea of pawns.
When do they play best? According to stats, 7 AM is peak genius hour, so set your alarm clocks if you want to catch the magic live. Whether it’s Sunday or Thursday, morning or late night, Eilia adapts – though Sundays bring slightly less luck (a modest 42.8% win rate).
Across thousands of games, Eilia has collected over 8000 wins in blitz and nearly 9100 in bullet formats, with a something-like-a-secret opening repertoire humorously dubbed "Top Secret," featuring over 14,000 blitz games and a win rate slightly above 50%. It’s no surprise: while some openings like the Nimzowitsch Defense or Queens Pawn Chigorin Variation test their patience (with win rates dipping under 40%), others reflect a sneaky versatility, including an Indian Game Knights Variation boasting nearly 59% wins.
Their longest winning streak sits at an engaging 27 games, but every legend has their rough days: a 61-game losing streak lurks in background history, reminding us all that chess is a rollercoaster, not a smooth ride.
Most recently, Eilia clinched victories against worthy adversaries such as "Good_Knight_Kiss" and "vegan4animals," finishing games by resignation and displaying the confidence that comes with experience. Even in defeat—sometimes by checkmate or when a game is abandoned—Eilia learns, adapts, and keeps questing upward.
In short, Eilia Zomorrodian (aka Emeraldddd) is a FIDE Master who blends skill, speed, and a dash of unpredictability into an irrepressible chess force. Whether you’re a casual fan, a budding player, or an opponent staring down the board, remember: Eilia’s moves might just make you laugh, think, or rage-quit. Or all three at once.
“Chess is not just a game,” says Eilia. “It’s a battlefield of wits, a circus of mind tricks, and sometimes, a perfect excuse to avoid real work.”
