Player Profile: matpdvn

Meet matpdvn, the cunning chess enthusiast whose journey through the royal game is as unpredictable as a knight’s dance and as thrilling as a last-second checkmate! With a peak rapid rating of 1219 achieved in February 2025, matpdvn has recently been navigating the chess battlefield with a modest yet plucky rating hovering around 288 in rapid games.

Playing Style & Habits

They favor games with long, gritty battles, averaging about 56 moves per win or loss, meaning they’re in it for the long haul rather than quick skirmishes.

Typical of a strategic thinker, matpdvn thrives during the late hours – especially true at 11 PM when their win rate hits a perfect 100% (definitely the “witching hour” for brilliance). Beware casual opponents: matpdvn tends to struggle a bit against rated players with a win difference of -56.63 but shines when the competition is more casual.

Their “Top Secret” opening strategy in rapid games has been tested 307 times with a respectable 42.67% success rate – a bit of a well-guarded mystery, it seems!

French Defense variations also pop up regularly, proving matpdvn enjoys flexible and classical structures.

Record & Rivalries

Having played over 360 rapid games, matpdvn has a near-even win/loss record with 158 wins against 183 losses and a handful of draws. Their longest winning streak is a commendable 5 games, but watch out: the longest losing streak stretched to 9 games – a painful, yet character-building experience.

Among their most frequent opponents is dynamic2w, where matpdvn holds a 40% win rate. In contrast, against some newer challengers like yoyab08 and nmllrscofield, matpdvn boasts a clean 100% victory record—clearly a spoiler of dreams!

Recent Highlights

One of their recent triumphs came on June 4th, 2025, against 9nyr7, where matpdvn’s precise queen maneuvers in the King’s Pawn Opening (Leonardis Variation) forced a resignation after a swift 12 moves. Another shining victory was delivered with the tricky Van 't Kruijs Opening against ZOROxLuffy69, showcasing tactical brilliance and opportunistic play.

A Note on Humor

If chess were a battle of wits, matpdvn is the cheeky underdog who sometimes throws the bishop like a boomerang (okay, maybe not intentionally). Their 8.11% early resignation rate hints at moments of hilarious self-sabotage—“Why keep suffering when you see defeat looming?” But fear not, their spirits rise faster than pawns promoting, thanks to a tilt factor of just 9 (low enough to keep sanity intact but high enough for dramatic flair).

Whether struggling against higher-rated foes or enchanting casual opponents, matpdvn shows us that chess is not just about numbers and ratings, but about the stories and surprises each game unfolds—making every match a tale worth telling.
