About Merchi (aka Mrmerchi)
Merchi is a fearless chess adventurer whose journey through the 64 squares is filled with twists, turns, and occasional faceplants—just like a rollercoaster, but with fewer safety belts and more checkmates.
Rating Rollercoaster
Over the years, Merchi’s rapid rating has seen a dramatic ride from a dizzying 1342 peak in 2020, down to a humble 435 in 2024. It’s a perfect reflection of a player who experiments fearlessly—sometimes winning big, often learning even bigger.
Win-Loss Saga
Across all formats, Merchi embraces both victory and defeat: with 410 wins against 471 losses in rapid, and a near-even blitz record peppered with humor and hustle. Remarkably, in rapid games using a top secret opening (spoiler alert: we’re all curious), Merchi claims an impressive 44.9% win rate. Daily chess is a bit of a grind, but hey, no pain no gain!
Style & Strategy
Known for a modest 9.5% early resignation rate (that’s about knowing when to fold 'em), Merchi loves the endgame almost half the time, grinding out long wars averaging 56 moves for a win. Playing with White brings a slightly better magic touch, with a 47.7% win rate, while Black offers steady challenges and surprises.
Comebacks and Mental Fortitude
Merchi’s resilience is legendary: with a staggering 66% comeback rate and a perfect 100% win rate after losing a piece. Losing a knight? No problem, bounce back like a chess ninja. Though, like all mortals, Merchi sometimes feels the tilt with a 13% tilt factor—proof that chess is both brain and heart.
Playing Times & Quirks
Our hero has a knack for shining brightest early in the day and late at night, boasting over 50% win rates around 0:00 AM and 4-5 AM (who says night owls can’t checkmate?). Monday seems particularly lucky with nearly 49% wins—maybe the universe loves a good fresh start.
