A Glimpse at the Stats
- Peak Ratings: Bullet – 728, Blitz – 662, Rapid – 582, Daily – a flawless 400 (because who doesn’t love a perfect score once in a while?).
- Playing Style: A mix of patience and daring, with an early resignation rate practically whispering "never give up," and a penchant for lengthy endgames (sometimes stretching beyond 70 moves – because who needs an early bedtime when there's drama on the board?).
- Win-Loss-Draw Record: Holding steady with an admirable number of wins across all time controls, Mael has racked up 325 wins in Rapid chess alone, proving stamina and skill over the long haul.
Favorite Openings (and occasional gambles)
Mael doesn’t shy away from the offbeat and the daring:
- Englund Gambit: Playing it once blitz-style and winning? Check. Mael has a perfect 100% win rate here – bold and beautiful.
- Scandinavian Defense: A reliable choice in blitz and rapid, with some spicy variations thrown in for flavor.
- Queen’s Pawn Openings of all stripes—Levitsky Attack, Chigorin, Zukertort variations—Mael’s repertoire reads like a chess cocktail menu.
Moments of Glory
Case in point: a recent rapid game where Mael, pushing through the Queen's Pawn Opening Torre Attack, orchestrated a checkmate in under 20 moves with style and panache. Time control of 10 minutes? No problem. Grim-faced opponents beware: the mael2mael storm is swift and merciless.
The Quirks Behind the Moves
Mael’s psychological profile reads like a classic drama:
- A tilt factor of 10 — meaning when Mael loses, it’s rarely without a bit of theatrical flair.
- Best performance hour? 7 AM. So maybe chess greatness and morning coffee go hand in hand after all.
- An impressive comeback rate of nearly 70%, showing grit when the odds are stacked.
Opponents Beware!
With a vast catalog of opponents — some met only once, others a handful of times — Mael’s win rates range from absolute domination (100% against several opponents) to learning experiences (those pesky 0% encounters, everyone’s got them). But consistently, Mael’s game is a blend of calculated risk and determination that keeps opponents on their toes.
In Summary
Whether blitzing through a Scandinavian Defense with surgical precision or gambiting boldly with the Englund, Mael Feam is the kind of player who makes chess entertaining, dramatic, and unpredictable. With a profile that sparkles with both genius and whimsy, Mael is proof that chess is not just a game of kings and queens — it's also a dance of personalities.
