Grady Menz aka GEMAPPLES
Meet Grady Menz, a chess enthusiast whose rating journey reads like a rollercoaster through the mysterious lands of "Top Secret" openings (yes, apparently Grady prefers to keep his strategies classified!). While he might not be storming grandmaster ranks just yet, his rapid games tell a tale of gritty battles and relentless spirit — 41 wins, 56 losses, and a solid 27 draws.
Grady’s blitz and bullet stats might be modest, but with a comeback rate of 52.17%, it’s clear he’s got the heart of a champion. Losing a piece? No problem — Grady wins 97.83% of the time after that, proving he’s the ultimate phoenix of the chessboard.
Known for an early resignation rate hovering around 26%, Grady isn’t shy about cutting his losses — perhaps to save mental energy for the next battle or just to keep his opponents guessing. His games average around 48 moves for wins, showing that he enjoys the long, strategic fight rather than quick skirmishes.
Grady’s psychological resilience is tested too, with a tilt factor of 6. But even in tough stretches, he keeps his cool enough to maintain a respectable 31.25% win rate as White and 31.34% as Black.
When it comes to opening choices, everyone bows to the mysterious "Top Secret" — over 120 rapid games played, with a win rate of 33%. Grady's favorites also include the occasional plunge into the English Defense, Owens Defense, and the elusive King's Fianchetto, though those remain less traveled roads.
Quirky fact: Grady has a 100% win rate against a handful of opponents including kinggreezzly, monailzax, drdoraemon, and a few others who might want to stay anonymous. It’s safe to say that GEMAPPLES is a force to reckon with, especially if you’ve met him on a Thursday or Wednesday afternoon, when his win rate peaks around 40%.
Whether in rapid, blitz, daily, or bullet, Grady Menz is the type of player who brings a mix of mystery, humor, and tenacity to the board. Just don’t be surprised if he suddenly resigns early — he’s probably plotting a secret comeback!
