Profile of metincandemir
Meet metincandemir, a passionate chess enthusiast traversing the thrilling rollercoaster of the chessboard with an adventurous spirit. Though the rating isn't soaring to grandmaster heights just yet, this player embodies resilience, battling bravely through hundreds of rapid games, with a peak rating reaching an impressive 722 in March 2023.
With over 800 rapid games under their belt, metincandemir has demonstrated a dogged commitment to improvement – boasting nearly as many wins as losses, and even a few draws to spice things up. The opening repertoire is quite eclectic, but the King’s Pawn Opening – especially the Kings Knight Variation – seems to be their favorite playground, where they've achieved a commendable 60% win rate.
Special mention goes to their love-hate relationship with the Scandinavian Defense and Englund Gambit: often tossed into battle with mixed success, but hey, who doesn’t like a little chaos on the board? And speaking of battles, metincandemir’s games average around 45 moves to victory — persistence is their middle name.
Timing is everything for metincandemir. Most sharp and sneaky around the early morning hours (apparently 2 AM is prime time!), they also show a peculiar fondness for playing at 4 AM – an hour where few minds are sharp, yet this player’s win rate peaks at nearly 59%. Night owl or chess wizard? Possibly both.
Though early resignations happen occasionally (around 6% of games), never count this player out. Their comeback rate after being down is an impressive 77.81%, proving that metincandemir fights for every point with grit and tactical cunning. Even when losing a piece, they still win nearly 42% of the time – call it the art of making lemonade from lost pawns.
In blitz and bullet, metincandemir is less of a speed demon and more of a thoughtful tactician, with blitz games maxing out at a rating of 647 and bullet tiptoeing at 163. But hey, it’s not all about lightning-fast moves when you can orchestrate a checkmate like their celebrated recent victory against Far-away1945, delivering the final blow with style and precision.
Opponents beware: metincandemir has a habit of showing up with surprising wins against certain foes like far-away1945, zero-c00l, and theimigrant — all boasting a perfect 100% success rate against these particular challengers. Conversely, others have exposed some chinks in the armor, so the journey to chess mastery continues.
Off the board? Probably someone who appreciates a good joke as much as a good gambit. After all, surviving a longest losing streak of 8 games only to bounce back is the mark of a true fighter…and maybe a bit of a chess masochist.
Whether storming through the ranks or taking lessons from occasional defeats, metincandemir stands out as a spirited competitor, ever ready to castle, check, and mate their way into chess history — or at least make the next game worth watching.
