MadDog94: The International Master with a Bite

Known in the chess world as MadDog94, this International Master from FIDE has earned his stripes not just by titles, but with a ferocious playing style that barks louder than it bites—most of the time.

Rise Through the Ranks

MadDog94's blitz rating once soared to a sizzling 2567 (December 2018), proving his lightning-fast tactics and nerves of steel. His bullet chess is no less impressive, peaking at a staggering 2615 in May 2019—fastest fingers and sharpest wits combined to leave opponents panting for mercy.

Not just a speed demon, MadDog94 also excels in rapid and daily chess, with consistent performances around the 2300+ range, showing that his strategic prowess spans all time controls.

Master of the Mystery Opening

While MadDog94 loves to keep his opening repertoire under wraps ("Top Secret" as the stats cheekily label it), his win rate of over 51% in blitz and near 53% in bullet speaks volumes. His favored strategies often leave opponents scratching their heads, unsure whether he's baiting them or bluffing. Either way, it works.

Playing Style & Psychology

MadDog94 embraces the long game with an average of roughly 75 moves per win, showcasing endurance and deep calculation ability. He is not one to resign early, maintaining a low early resignation rate of 0.42%, and often claws back from losing positions with a comeback rate exceeding 80%. The proverbial underdog rising—not for the faint-hearted.

Despite exhibiting a "Tilt Factor" of 9 (chess players, you know what that means), our MadDog is resilient, carefully timing his games for prime performance hours (his best time to play is around dawn at 5 AM!), probably fueled by coffee and sheer determination.

Recent Highlight: Checkmate with Panache

On June 4th, 2025, MadDog94 delivered a dazzling checkmate in a Live Chess game against Pinpinalamoutarde. A sharp King's Pawn Opening that ended with a queen sacrifice and a final checkmate on move 55. In less than two minutes, MadDog94 went from opening the board to closing it with style.
