Angelo Young (IMAngeloyoung)
International Master – The Chess Connoisseur
Angelo Young, proudly holding the title of International Master from FIDE, is a formidable figure on the chessboard. Known among friends and foes alike as IMAngeloyoung, Angelo’s journey through the ranks is nothing short of inspiring—mixing serious strategy with moments of cheeky brilliance.
With a rapid rating that peaked impressively at 2178 by 2023 and an even more dazzling blitz peak of 2594 in 2017, Angelo shows mastery across time controls. Like a grandmaster juggling flaming chess pieces, Angelo’s bullet games soar with ratings above 2300, demonstrating lightning-fast instincts and nerves of steel.
Angelo’s playing style is a unique blend of stamina and resilience, boasting a remarkable Comeback Rate of 89.39%, and a perfect 100% win rate after losing a piece—which suggests Angelo refuses to lose even if the knight jumps off the board to grab a snack. This tenacity is coupled with deep endgame technique, engaging in endgames a staggering 84.75% of the time, where every pawn push tells a story.
Angelo’s longest winning streak of 16 games reveals the ability to dominate opponents with a mix of sharp tactics and solid strategy. Even when the pressure mounts, watch out: Angelo has a tilt factor of just 12, meaning frustration rarely makes a guest appearance. The current winning streak stands at a confident 4 games—who says the heat has cooled off?
Opponents beware: Angelo sports a wide and colorful gallery of rivals, ranging from blitz maniacs like gmjoey1 to seasoned strategists such as fardin-or. Angelo’s win percentages read like a rollercoaster—100% against several players (perhaps they left their chess brains at home), but a humbling 28.26% against the persistent gmjoey1.
Known for not resigning early (a mere 1.67% early resignation rate), Angelo fights tooth and nail for every point. Games are often epic adventures, averaging over 72 moves per win, illustrating a patience rivaled only by monks contemplating their next sudoku.
When not smashing chess clocks or grinding out wins, Angelo is likely pondering whether pawns dream of queen promotions or if knights really do prefer dark squares (spoiler: they do). A chess player who blends skill, humor, and passion, Angelo Young proves that the game is as much about joy as it is about victory.
