Profile Summary: mdixon12

Steadily exploring multiple formats of chess, mdixon12 has built a solid track record since 2022. Their passion for the game is evident in the wide variety of time controls they play—spanning Rapid, Blitz, Bullet, and Daily—and in the hundreds of games completed each year.

In Rapid, mdixon12 has attained ratings above 1300, peaking in 2023 with a personal best of 1349. They also perform competitively in Daily chess, climbing above 1100 and even reaching 1199 as a high point. Meanwhile, their Blitz and Bullet journeys have seen them surpass 1000 on more than one occasion. Across all formats, they’ve distinguished themselves as a resilient competitor, often steering games into deeper endgames (over 65% of the time) and posting a notable comeback rate when falling behind.

Much of mdixon12’s success can be attributed to their choice of openings. Unafraid to try many different lines, they reliably employ 1.e4 with King’s Pawn Openings, while also experimenting with creative setups like Nimzowitsch and Pirc Defenses, where they’ve enjoyed particularly high win rates. This willingness to adapt is reflected in their data: they rarely resign early, they keep fighting to the finish, and they boast a 10-game winning streak at their best.

Psychologically, mdixon12 balances an aggressive spirit with enough caution to manage tilt. Their White win rate hovers around the mid 50% range and, even playing as Black, they approach the 50% mark—a testament to their balanced style. On weekends, they’ve consistently put up slightly better numbers, indicating comfort or extra focus during Saturday and Sunday sessions.

Overall, mdixon12 stands out as an all-around player with a love for long battles and a determination to fight on. Whether experimenting with new openings or defending tenaciously in tougher positions, they have proven themselves to be both persistent and creative, always looking to refine their game and push their ratings higher.
