Playing Style & Quirks
Known for an early resignation rate of nearly 30%, Merguez13k isn't one to waste time when the situation goes south—call it taking the chess "exit strategy" seriously. Their games usually end quickly: winning games last just around 15 moves on average, but losses tend to drag longer, suggesting an enduring, if sometimes frustrating, fight.
Endgames appear roughly half the time (an endgame enthusiast?) but with a win rate when playing White of only 18.75%, and a meager 5.56% with Black, it’s clear victories are as rare as a perfectly cooked merguez sausage.
Opening Adventures
Merguez13k enjoys surprising opponents, dabbling frequently in less common openings like the Englund Gambit and Pirc Defense. Sadly, the Englund gambit hasn't delivered wins yet—perhaps it’s just too spicy even for their taste! On the Bullet battlefield, the Kings Pawn Opening is their shining moment with a 100% win rate from a single game – a small but proud trophy.
Record & Rivalries
With a blitz record showing 2 wins, 10 losses, and 11 draws, perseverance is a key theme. Most encounters have been gritty draws, hinting at a stubborn fighter who refuses to quit quietly. Their most frequent opponent, nonoric09, has been a tough nut to crack, with only a 12.5% win rate against them.
Memorable Moments
Highlights include a crafty victory with the Pirc Defense, where patience and timing won the day in a game won on time. In Bullet, Merguez13k dazzled by winning a fierce Kings Pawn Opening duel. Their games often conclude with dramatic time scrambles and unexpected twists—proof that this player thrives in chess chaos.
