Profile: GourmetMCh – The Culinary Chess Virtuoso

Meet GourmetMCh, a chess player whose rapid games are as rich and satisfying as a well-prepared meal. With a peak rapid rating of 894 achieved in May 2025, Gourmet is steadily cooking up victories one move at a time. Known for a penchant for the Englund Gambit, Gourmet boasts a perfect win record whenever this spicy defense is served, winning all 3 games without any draws or losses — talk about taking a gamble and winning every time!

Gourmet’s style mixes patience with tactical flair: the average winning game lasts about 60 moves, which suggests Gourmet enjoys a slow simmer rather than a quick microwave dinner. Interestingly, Gourmet's black pieces seem slightly tastier with a 68.18% win rate versus white’s still impressive 59.09%. When behind in material, Gourmet has a remarkable 58.97% success rate of rallying back, proving that no piece left behind forms part of the recipe.

What’s on the menu for openings? Besides the Finnish classics, Gourmet excels with the Pirc Defense variations, scoring wins in every game played there. The Center Game and the tempered Ruy Lopez Old Steinitz Defense are also crowd pleasers in Gourmet's repertoire.

Gourmet’s most recent triumph came against antoninclarens, ending with a smooth resignation — proof that Gourmet’s checkmate is more like a gourmet finish: elegant and unavoidable. The current winning streak stands at a satisfying 2 games, with a flavor-packed longest winning streak of 4.

Curiously, Gourmet plays best at the morning brunch hour (around 9 AM) and is absolutely ruthless during afternoons and early evenings, maintaining nearly perfect win rates between 13:00 and 17:00. Saturdays and Mondays are the days to watch out, with a hearty 75% win rate!

PUBG? No, Pretty Useful Board Gamer – Gourmet lives life move by move, with no early quits to spoil the feast, an admirable tilt factor of 2 (meaning Gourmet stays calm even when the oven’s burning), and a knack for turning equal fights into winning feasts. Opponents beware: against most rivals like coolermarki and robertodonati, Gourmet’s win rate is a full 100%, serving checkmate with a side of sass.

When not cooking up tactical meals on the chessboard, Gourmet is probably concocting new opening recipes to surprise opponents or sneaking in a strategic snack known as endgame mastery — over half of all games see Gourmet navigating the delicate flavors of the endgame.

In the grand kitchen of chess, GourmetMCh reminds us that every piece, just like every ingredient, matters — and victory tastes best when you savor each move.
