Profile Summary: mewnite
mewnite is a rapid-fire tactician with a penchant for the Queens Pawn Opening and a love-hate relationship with the Horwitz Defense (seriously, only 10% win rate there).
With a peak rapid rating of 318 as of September 2024, mewnite has demonstrated flashes of brilliance on the board, especially in rapid time controls – their preferred battlefield. Bullet and daily chess also see mewnite in action, boasting respective peak ratings of 303 and a staggering 334!
Known for wielding the Englund Gambit with surprising success (~57% win rate there), mewnite keeps opponents on their toes. The Scandinavian Defense also seems to be a favored and somewhat reliable weapon with a 53% win rate, but the Kings Pawn Opening, beware — mewnite hasn't had much luck there yet (0% wins).
Psychology and quirky habits? This player resigns early about a quarter of the time (24.2%), proving they’re not afraid to throw in the towel early when the tides turn—saving energy for that sweet comeback, which happens roughly 55% of the time! They enjoy a mean middle game with around 41 moves on average to snag a win, but tend to lose a bit faster, typically folding at around 33 moves.
Fun fact: mewnite's best time to wreak havoc on opponents is at midnight (0:00)—a true chess vampire operating under cover of darkness. Their tilt factor is low (8), so they barely break a sweat, even when things go south. And if you ever play them on a Thursday or Saturday, watch out—they boast over 50% win rate on these days!
Opponents beware: mewnite has a solid record against many foes, with undefeated streaks against several recent challengers such as akhilverma733gmailcom, paolla2009, and priyam2807, winning every match played against them. They do have some nemeses—like dankunmc—who manage to snag more wins, but mewnite constantly battles back with tactical grit.
