Meet mehti_xirdalan, a resilient and sometimes unpredictable chess enthusiast whose rapid rating journey reads like a thrilling novel. Starting 2025 with a modest rapid rating of 730, mehti skillfully climbed to a peak of 1431, proving persistence pays off... even if the road has bumps (and there are some losses sprinkled in there too).

With 458 rapid games under their belt, boasting a win rate right at 50%, mehti knows how to keep a balanced mindset in the heat of battle. Their strategic choice of the "Top Secret" opening adds an air of mystery — perhaps a nod to a chess ninja lurking in the shadows, or just a player who loves keeping opponents guessing.

Watching mehti in blitz is a different story: only 2 games played, both losses — a hasty reminder that lightning-fast moves are not always their cup of tea. But hey, everyone has their preferred battleground, and for mehti, it's definitely the thoughtful pace of rapid chess.

Known for a remarkable comeback rate of over 86% and a 100% win rate after losing a piece, mehti is basically the Houdini of the chessboard, turning near-defeat into glorious victory with tactical flair. Their longest winning streak of 7 games and a current streak of 3 show that once things start clicking, they’re hard to stop.

Fun fact: mehti hasn't quite mastered the art of playing in the wee hours — zero wins at 23:00 and very mixed success at odd times of day — but shine a light on mid-afternoon and early evening, where the win rate sweetly hovers above 50%. Evidently, mehti’s brain is a daytime warrior!

The style? All about endgames and endurance with an average of about 71 moves per win, proving patience and stamina are their secret weapons. Despite an average "tilt factor" of 6, showing some emotional ups and downs, mehti battles on with poise.

Overall, mehti_xirdalan blends resilience, mystery, and a dash of humor on the chessboard — a player who’s as persistent as they are strategic. If you face them, don’t be shocked if a lost piece suddenly disappears... into a comeback win.
