Profile Summary: hodorgeek

Meet hodorgeek, a chess enthusiast who’s been dancing with the 64 squares since 2017. Over the years, hodorgeek has shown a rollercoaster journey through the ranks, proving that persistence beats perfection — especially when your Rapid rating rockets from a humble 442 to a peak of 1049 in May 2025. That's like starting with a pawn and ending with a queen on the ranking board!

When it comes to time controls, hodorgeek's playground is mostly Rapid chess, clocking over 5,000 games with a nearly even split of wins and losses (1782 wins vs. 1748 losses), sprinkling in 296 draws for good measure. Blitz and Bullet chess have been danced with less frequently but with that same fiery passion.

Opening repertoire? Oh, hodorgeek doesn't shy away from a good challenge. Fond of the Scandinavian Defense and the subtle intricacies of the Queen's Pawn Opening in Rapid, hodorgeek’s win rates hover just shy of 50% — enough to keep the opponents guessing and the crowd entertained. The King's Pawn Opening boasts a slightly better record, hinting at a cozy relationship with the classics.

Strategically, hodorgeek loves the grind: an impressive 65% frequency of endgame play suggests patience and tenacity are part of the arsenal. Losses tend to be longer than wins, averaging about 71 moves vs. 60 moves for victories, proving that hodorgeek fights 'til the final square falls.

Psychological quirks? With a tilt factor of 10, hodorgeek stays relatively cool, although even the calmest can have their "chess face" moments. The best magic happens right at the stroke of midnight, with a 100% win rate recorded at 00:00 – maybe chess is truly a nocturnal adventure for this player.

Recent highlights: On June 2, 2025, hodorgeek executed a dazzling checkmate in a Rapid game against egorpavlov1 — a performance full of sneaky knight forks and queen maneuvers worthy of a grandmaster’s nod. Just hours earlier, victories via resignation peppered the day, demonstrating a knack for wearing down opponents into submission.

Off the board, hodorgeek might just be the friendly neighborhood strategist, ready with a witty quip ("Why did the chess player bring a ladder to the game? To reach the next level!") and a never-ending thirst to learn from each game, win or lose.

In sum: hodorgeek is the embodiment of steady improvement, a hunter of stubborn wins, and a lover of classic chess warfare. Watch out — this underdog might just outwit you when you least expect it!
