Barnabás Emődi - The FIDE Master with a Tactical Flair
Meet Barnabás Emődi, affectionately known in chess circles as mimizah, a FIDE Master who dances through the ranks with tactical precision and an enviable comeback rate that would make Houdini jealous. Not one to shy away from complexity, Barnabás thrives in the endgame, with a remarkable 79.47% frequency of endgames in his matches—proving that patience, not just speed, wins crowns.
With a blitz rating peaking at an impressive 2576 in 2019, Barnabás has blitzed through thousands of games, boasting over 8,500 wins out of more than 14,700 blitz battles. His bullet skills are no less formidable, achieving a max rating above 2200 and a steady win rate around 53%.
What sets Barnabás apart? A relentless spirit. His comeback rate stands at 85.19%, refusing to surrender even after losing material—a true chess gladiator with a zero percent win-loss record after losing a piece. If the game doesn't go as planned, expect Barnabás to turn the tide with creativity and determination, rather than flipping the board (although we suspect he might only flirt with the idea).
Not just a speedster, Barnabás has also dipped toes into Rapid and Daily formats, scoring a perfect 100% win rate in limited games, showing versatility across time controls. His average moves per win (66) and loss (79) hint at intense battles that keep spectators on the edge of their seats.
Off the board, Barnabás's psychological resilience is notable, with a tilt factor of just 8—meaning even the rough patches are met with a calm, composed mindset. He prefers the evening hours—especially 6 AM, 16 PM, and 0 AM, where his win rates spike impressively—perhaps indicating that he might be nocturnal or simply a coffee-powered strategist.
Barnabás champions a steady and strategic style, with a strong preference for finishing games rather than early resignations (an admirable 1.03% early resignation rate), always giving opponents a “hail Mary” run for their money.
With a storied rivalry against frequent opponents like ziomario, alexras, and popovbm, Barnabás consistently holds his ground, proving he is a player who adapts, learns, and conquers. So if you ever consider facing Barnabás Emődi, be prepared for a thrilling mix of tactical wizardry, psychological toughness, and a masterful endgame performance—chess entertainment guaranteed!
