The Veganman (Username: KD64)

FIDE Master | The Plant-Powered Chess Virtuoso

Born into the 64-square battlefield, The Veganman is a FIDE Master whose rating has soared up to a blazing 2712 in blitz chess – enough to make even the fiercest carnivores jealous of those leafy greens powering this chess warrior's brain.

With a blitz rating that bounced from humble beginnings (~1091) to a lightning-fast 2700+ peak, The Veganman might just be the only grandmaster in history to achieve such glory fueled by tofu, kale, and the power of good karma.

Known for a deadly opening repertoire, The Veganman favors the Queens Pawn Opening: Accelerated London System, boasting a win rate near 58%, and frequently dances through the Torre Attack and Scandinavian Defense Mieses Kotrc with the grace of a gazelle – vegan, of course.

Never one to resign early (only 0.42% early resignation rate), they relish intense endgames, averaging over 85 moves per match and boasting a ridiculous 91% comeback rate even after losing a piece. Basically, if there's hope left on the board, The Veganman will chew through the opposition like seitan on a grill.

Off the board, their longest winning streak is an impressive 18 games – not just a streak, but a kale-powered marathon of dominance. The current winning streak sits at a solid 4, proving the stamina of a true blitz gladiator.

Psychology plays a part too: The Veganman’s “tilt factor” is a respectful 12, which means when they get frustrated, it’s about as much as a cucumber getting slightly salted – still cool. Early mornings (around 6 AM) are their prime time, likely reflecting an early rise for green smoothies and blitzing opponents into submission.

The Veganman’s playstyle? Methodical, resilient, and deeply tactical. With a higher win rate playing White (53%) compared to Black (45%), they subtly coax their opponents into traps lined with veggies and counterattacks – seasoned with a pinch of humor, of course.

When it comes to rivals, sanju_1996d-incative faces them 141 times, and “aliencowboy” isn’t far behind with 101 games – probably wondering if they can convert The Veganman to a meat-eating lifestyle. Spoiler: They won't.

Latest highlight? A victory on November 18, 2022, by resignation after a solid demonstration of the Torre Attack. If you want to see a chess game that’s well-seasoned and thoroughly cooked to perfection, you might want to check it out.

So whether you're here for chopping vegetables or chopping pieces, The Veganman is proof that you can play fierce and fast while staying green. Chess, meet tofu-powered tenacity!

For the planet and the king!
