About Medhatzalabea

Meet Medhatzalabea, the chess warrior who’s been navigating the 64 squares since at least 2019 and shows no signs of stopping. With a rapid rating that once peaked at a respectable 1540 in the summer of 2022, this player has danced through the ranks with a mix of bold attacks, tactical resilience, and occasional dramatic flair.

Medhatzalabea’s style is a blend of patience and tactical gambits, with an average win length of about 67 moves in rapid games—because rushing headlong into battle is so passé. Not one to shy away from a complex endgame, they’ve got an impressive endgame frequency of nearly 69%, which means they’re comfortable fighting till the last pawn and beyond.

Known for a staggering comeback rate of 78%, giving up is clearly not in their vocabulary—even when losing material, they still manage to claim victory nearly half the time. But beware: their psychological tilt factor of 11 suggests that when the going gets tough, so might the mood swings.
