Player Profile: ethoid
Meet ethoid, a chess journeyman whose mettle is forged on the digital battlefield. With a chess career spanning at least three years, ethoid has fought through 1,500+ rapid games, nearly a thousand bullet battles, and several blitz skirmishes—proving dedication is their middle name, even if grandmaster status isn't quite there yet.
Rating Rollercoaster
Starting with a rapid rating of 1224 in 2022, ethoid experienced some ups and downs, dipping to 519 before climbing back to the 850s by 2024. In bullet chess, their rating hovers gently above 500—enough to surprise an enemy but maybe not to flame the internet just yet. Blitz and daily formats are their playgrounds too, though with more modest scores that suggest either experimentation or a sneaky preference for longer games.
Style & Strategy
Known for an unflinching comeback rate of 68.58% and a nearly perfect win rate after losing a piece (99.52%), ethoid is the kind of player who refuses to quit even when the chips are down. This tactician is no stranger to the resilience game, often tweaking their strategy and leaving opponents wondering how they pulled off a win from a seemingly lost position.
But beware the tilt! With a tilt factor of 13, ethoid sometimes wears their heart on their sleeve, battling frustration like a true human. Still, the early resignation rate is a mere 7.62%, showing they give most games a fair shot.
Playing Habits and Quirks
- Longest winning streak: 12 games (talk about momentum!)
- Average moves to victory: about 60 moves, a marathon rather than a sprint.
- Wins slightly favor playing with White pieces (49.05%) over Black (45.19%).
- Most active hours? Oddly productive between 11 PM and midnight, with a win rate surpassing 54%, and a surprising 75% win rate at 5 AM—time to reconsider those late-night tactics!
Opponent Chronicles
ethoid has a love-hate relationship with several opponents. Some usernames are tough nuts to crack (abdddul, tommycashin22), consistently handing ethoid losses, while others have been systematically dismantled (looking at you, sujeet134 and chawethememe12).
Final Thoughts
Whether grinding rapid games for experience or darting through bullet matches with surprising tenacity, ethoid is a player who embodies persistence, quirky play patterns, and a heart fueled by chess passion. From epic comebacks to enduring the tilt monster, their story is a testament to the love of the game—even when the queen blunders and the rook gets cozy with a pawn.
