Profile: FilthyWatermelon
Meet FilthyWatermelon, a rapidly growing chess player whose rating history is juicy and ripe with surprises. Known for peeling back opponents' defenses with a sweet and sometimes sour style, this player has carved a niche in the rapid format, boasting an impressive peak rating of 1112 in 2021 and maintaining solid performances ever since.
With a penchant for strategic fermentation in the endgame — clocking an endgame frequency of nearly 61% — FilthyWatermelon lets their moves mature naturally, averaging around 56 moves per win and demonstrating patient, methodical play. When playing as White, they boast a pretty plum 62% win rate, while as Black they still hold their rind with a respectable 50% success rate.
Our melon is no stranger to comebacks, sporting a spectacular 64% comeback rate and a perfect 100% win rate after losing a piece—talk about regenerative abilities! This vigorous resilience is balanced by a low early resignation rate of just over 2%, proving they're in it for the long haul rather than wilting under pressure.
FilthyWatermelon’s longest winning streak is a juicy dozen games, with a current streak fresh at two wins. Though sometimes prone to tilt (a mild 9 on the scale), their dedication keeps them pivoting back to growth rather than spoilage.
Interestingly, the player tends to harvest victories most consistently during weekends and late evenings, with sharp win rates on Sundays (68%) and Saturdays (63%), and even perfect success in the strategic hours of 6 AM, 10 AM, and 12 PM—clearly they have an internal circadian rhythm synced to checkmate time.
Whether crushing seeds as the top-secret opener or slicing through the competition in blitz or daily games, this player’s style is both refreshing and tough to digest. Opponents beware: FilthyWatermelon might look sweet, but their tactical bite is definitely a-peeling!
