Christopher Lamb (mathmorilAU)

Christopher Lamb, known to the online chess world as mathmorilAU, is a player with a rollercoaster rating history and a passion for the game that’s as intense as his fluctuating Rapid rating. From a tentative start around 1260 in mid-2020 to reaching a peak Rapid rating of 2216 in early 2021, Christopher’s journey in chess reads like an epic saga filled with tactical comebacks, heartbreaking losses, and enough resilience to rival any chess legend.

His highest Bullet rating clocks in at a solid 2044, while in Blitz, he has impressively soared close to 1874. His Daily rating peaked at 1540, suggesting he’s just as comfortable taking his time as he is blitzing through positions at lightning speed.

Playing Style & Personality

Christopher’s style is as thoughtfully crafty as his name suggests. With an Early Resignation Rate of just under 5%, he’s not one to give up early—unless, of course, his coffee runs out. His knack for dramatic comebacks shines through with a remarkable 80.34% Comeback Rate, making him the kind of opponent you’d least like to underestimate. White pieces bring him slightly more luck with a near 49% win rate, but don’t count him out when he’s wielding Black.

Ever the strategist, he averages 65 moves per win, showing he’s willing to outlast his opponents in long, grindy battles. Beware, though—he’s been known to tilt a bit (with a Tilt Factor of 20), so if you catch him at his “best time” around 8 PM, make sure your openings are on point!

Favorite Openings

Christopher’s go-to openings scream "Kings Indian Attack" with a particular fondness for the Yugoslav Variation and other KIA lines where he enjoys building up slow pressure. He is also quite at home with the Reti Opening, an opening as flexible and sneaky as his tactical mind. His performance in the Kings Indian Attack boasts win rates from 46% in Bullet to over 60% in Rapid, proving he knows how to harness the power of familiar territory.

Recent Battles

Christopher's latest victories highlight his patience and sharp tactical awareness. In a recent thrilling Rapid match, he showcased his typical Kings Indian Attack style to triumph by resignation, outmaneuvering his opponent in a tense strategic battle lasting over 40 moves.

Of course, even the best have off days. His most recent loss, while a tough resignation in a well-fought game, demonstrates his fearless approach—facing opponents rated above him and fighting until the very end.
