Ethan M

Profile of Ethan M. (aka Ethan-ma)

Meet Ethan M., the Rapid chess aficionado whose rating is a wild rollercoaster—from a humble 214 to a blazing peak of 695 in just a month. If chess ratings were a rollercoaster, Ethan's would be one with both exhilarating highs and humbling dips, keeping opponents on their toes and fans on the edge of their seats.

Playing Style & Stats

Ethan prefers Rapid games, with over 230 matches played, maintaining a nearly balanced battle record of 104 wins and 109 losses with 20 draws. Blitz and Bullet? They’re more like quick coffee breaks, with Blitz ratings flirting around the 580s and Bullet sitting cozy at 380. But don't let that fool you: Ethan's tactical awareness shines through with a 76% comeback rate—a true phoenix rising from lost positions more often than not.

Strategic risk-taker alert: Ethan's favorite openings offer a peek into their adventurous mind. The French Defense is a mixed bag—brilliant when played with the knight variation boasting a 55.56% win rate, but a bit of a heartbreak in the Normal Variation at 20%. The Englund Gambit is a coin toss with a neat 50% score. Eternal optimist? Definitely.

Memorable Moments

When Ethan's on, they bring the heat! One of the freshest victories was a thrilling checkmate with the Queens Pawn Opening Horwitz Defense against ZOROARKUDAY, showcasing a precise endgame sequence and nerves of steel. Ethan also seems to thrive early in the morning: their best playing hour is 7:00 AM with an impressive 75% win rate—apparently, chess and caffeine form a winning combo.

Psychological Traits

Unable to conceal some tilt with a factor of 7, Ethan knows the struggle of emotional swings in chess but remains resilient with a notably low early resignation rate of just 8.77%. Longest winning and losing streaks both max out at 7 games — a perfect symmetry for the dramatic chess saga that is Ethan-ma’s journey.

Rivalries & Records

Ethan has faced jawedlethug a whopping 22 times with a challenging win rate of about 13.64%, proving some matchups are there to push limits. On the bright side, Ethan heroically dominates opponents like zoroarkuday and umairmaliik, boasting a flawless 100% win record against them.

A Fun Fact

Ethan's games tend to be slightly longer wins (51 moves on average) compared to losses (almost 60 moves), suggesting a fondness for fighting ‘til the last move, or perhaps occasionally getting caught up in the classic "just one more move" syndrome.

In short, Ethan M. is a passionate, resilient Rapid player who embraces the chaos of the board with humor, determination, and a pinch of unpredictability. Whether they’re swinging from a comeback or plotting the next checkmate, Ethan-ma is a player who keeps the spirit of chess alive and entertaining.
