EndgameGrinder - The FIDE Master of Finishing Off

Entreated to the world of chess battles over several electric years from 2017 onwards, EndgameGrinder has earned the prestigious title of FIDE Master, a testament not just to skill but to relentless grit and an uncanny knack for endgames. Known affectionately (or fearfully) online, this player’s moniker isn’t just flair; it’s a promise that the endgame is where the real grinding begins.

With a blitz peak rating soaring to 2711 in 2020 and a bullet best at 2540, EndgameGrinder dominates time-controlled skirmishes with a blend of surgical precision and dogged resilience. An average game length in excess of 85 moves signals a player who loves the marathon, finely crafting victories in the crunch time while others falter. In fact, a whopping 85.56% frequency of endgames underscores where this player's true passion lies.

The stats tell a tale of a warrior who rarely admits defeat early; with an early resignation rate of just 0.22 and a comeback rate of 92.44%, EndgameGrinder truly embodies the spirit of resilience. Lose a piece? No worries: this champion boasts a 100% win rate after losing a piece—a fact that surely haunts foes and delights fans.

Favorite openings remain under deep lock and key, cheekily labeled as "Top Secret," but the results are clearly evident: almost 48% win rate over 4000+ blitz games, and a blistering near 70% in bullet. Whether it's cunning gambits or rock-solid defense, opponents know that matches against EndgameGrinder inevitably push all the way to the wire.

Opponents beware! They've faced a mixed bag—from a perfect 100% loss rate for some, to others with the dubious honor of 0% wins against the Master. Particularly unlucky: hunninn. But some opponents enjoy better luck (petriashvili02 has only a 75% loss rate), proving even the Grinder has vulnerabilities.

Beyond the board, EndgameGrinder exhibits a curious psychological trend: while normally cool-headed, with a tilt factor of 9 (low enough to stay in control), this player exhibits a palpable difference between performances in rated and casual games, suggesting the thrill (and pressure) of the rating chase is no small thing. But when grinding toward a win, nothing phases this player.

Playing mostly during afternoons and late evenings, with a win rate peaking delightfully at 56.76% at 11 PM, this is a nocturnal strategist, thriving under the spotlight of fading daylight and the glow of the screen.

In a nutshell, EndgameGrinder is the gladiator of drawn-out battles, the conqueror of the clock, and a FIDE Master who won't let go until victory is certain—preferably with a slow, grinding smirk in the final moves.
