Meet Maredrd: The Relentless Rapid Rook

Maredrd, affectionately known in the chess tunnels as "Duda," is a dedicated player with a fondness for the Queens Pawn Opening and the Scandinavian Defense. While their rapid rating has seen a wild rollercoaster ride — hitting a peak of 577 before settling around the 200s — their passion for the game remains steadfast.

Opening Specialties

Duda loves to get cozy in the Queens Pawn Opening, rocking the Chigorin Variation with a solid 75% win rate. They're also undefeated so far in some undefined rapid openings, which means whenever they try something unpredictable, opponents better watch out! The French Defense Normal Variation and Blackmar Gambit also spice up their repertoire.

Playing Style & Quirks

With an average winning game lasting about 59 moves, Maredrd enjoys a good, gritty fight rather than quick knockouts. Their comeback rate is quite impressive at nearly 63%, showing they never say die — even after losing a piece. But beware, they don't shy away from resigning early either, with a 16% early resignation rate. Some might call it strategic retreat; others might call it “I’m done, next game please!”

Most wins come when playing Black (43.18% win rate versus White at 41.03%), proving that Duda relishes the counterattack and surprise tactics. Their best times to play and win seem to hover around 8 PM, when the chess gods are likely smiling on them.

Opponent Dynamics

Maredrd shows some serious rivalry vibes with players like zazasmoking (20% win rate) and reydavid541 (75%), but also flaunts perfect records against many, including leidyromero4, nahualdinosaurio, and seansly1. So take your pick: friend or foe, Maredrd is ready to challenge!

In Summary

A fluctuating rating never dampens Maredrd’s fighting spirit. From daily marathon battles to lightning-quick bullet rounds, this player blends perseverance with a pinch of flair and a dash of humor (mostly shown in the early resignations). If you’re looking for a clever opponent who balances tactical wits with occasional unpredictability, Maredrd is your chess buddy.

Warning: Playing after 8 PM may significantly increase chances of defeat.
