Profile: Ethan James
Meet Ethan James, a chess enthusiast whose games are a rollercoaster ride of brilliant comebacks, unexpected twists, and the occasional “Oops, I resigned early because life’s too short!” moment. With a rapid rating bouncing between 800 and 284 in 2023, Ethan’s style can be described as “fearlessly experimental” — and sometimes “thrillingly unpredictable.”
Known in online circles as hamburgerwithlettuce (though Ethan prefers the simpler version), he’s conquered blitz arenas with a peak rating just over 500 and dabbled in bullet matches where speed sometimes overtakes strategy. His average moves per win hover around 49, proving he loves to show off a well-fought battle before declaring victory.
Ethan’s special opening? Well, that’s officially classified as Top Secret, though statistics suggest he’s not afraid to try bold, unconventional lines — sometimes paying off spectacularly with a near 55% blitz win rate, and other times leaving opponents scratching their heads.
This player’s greatest strength might just be his never-say-die attitude, boasting a monstrous 57.7% comeback rate and a flawless 100% win record after losing a piece (talk about turning lemons into checkmates!). Admittedly, if things don’t go his way, there’s a 16% chance Ethan will tilt, but hey, who doesn’t need a dramatic flair in chess and life?
Ethan seems to perform best on Mondays and Sundays, with Sunday being his absolute power day—winning 100% of games played then. Chess at 2 PM is also his sweet spot, where his win rate peaks above 50%. Clearly, Ethan is a player who knows when to strike.
Off the board, Ethan enjoys friendly rivalries, having faced opponents like jettextreme 61 times and maintaining a respectable nearly 15% win rate against them. And if you ever face him online, beware: he’s undefeated against some and utterly unpredictable against others.
To sum up: Ethan James might not be a grandmaster (yet!), but with his tactical awareness, unique style, and a love of the game that borders on obsession, he’s a player worth watching. Whether it’s a frantic bullet game or a thoughtful daily battle, Ethan brings a mix of humor, resilience, and charm to the chessboard. So next time you see hamburgerwithlettuce online, prepare for a game that’s anything but boring.
