Profile: Andre Onyedum (kingdr3y)
Meet Andre Onyedum, aka kingdr3y, a fascinating Rapid chess enthusiast whose rollercoaster rating journey could rival any thrill ride! Currently rocking a peak Rapid rating of 403 as of March 2025, Andre's chess career is a testament to persistence—occasionally winning, often learning, and always battling the clock.
Chess Style & Signature Moves
Andre favors the Rapid format, showing a particular fondness for the Queen's Pawn Opening Zukertort Variation, where he boasts a impressive 64.3% win rate. Nimzowitsch Defense fans should keep an eye out, as his clever tactical plays there have helped him win nearly 60% of the time!
However, not all openings are safe spots in Andre's repertoire. Despite an adventurous spirit dabbling in the Englund Gambit, the results suggest a love-hate relationship with a 35.7% win rate. Nothing that a future comeback can't fix!
Wins, Losses, and Other Stories
Andre's record reads like an epic saga: with 106 wins, 113 losses, and 28 draws in Rapid games, every match is a battle of wits and nerves. His longest winning streak sits at a confident 6 games, but beware the 7-game losing streak lurking in the shadows – even chess heroes stumble!
Interestingly, Andre's endurance shines in endgames, featuring in about 51% of his matches. And when he's on a roll, his average winning game lasts a grand 57 moves—talk about stamina and focus!
A Psychological Peek
With a tilt factor of 7, Andre handles frustration better than most (but every great player has moments with the chess demons!). His best time to unleash those tactical moves? Bright and early at 7:00 AM, proving that the early bird catches the checkmate.
