Chris DeMelo (aka mrpazoo) - Chess Enthusiast and Master of the Board

From the cellular level of openings to the complex mitochondria of endgames, Chris DeMelo’s chess journey is nothing short of a biological marvel. Starting out with a modest 1200 rating in Blitz and Bullet back in 2014, Chris has since evolved through countless games, reaching a peak Daily rating of 1642 in 2019 — a true example of natural selection on the chessboard.

With a knack for rapid adaptation, Chris shows a remarkable 79.83% comeback rate, proving that even when a piece drops, the nucleus of his play holds strong — winning 100% of games after losing a piece! This resilience might just be attributed to his ability to keep his psychological tilt factor down to a mild 9 (we guess he’s better at handling cell stress than most).

Chris’s opening repertoire is as diverse as a rainforest ecosystem. He slaughters Scandinavian Defense variations with a 80% Blitz win rate and boasts a 100% success rate on the Daily King’s Fianchetto Opening — talk about chlorophyll-ing the board green! Although the Italian Game seems to leave a few wounds, he’s clearly not afraid to get his hands dirty in the trenches.

His playstyle is a slow-burning mitochondrion, with an average 60 moves per win and even longer battles in losses. Endgames appear frequently (68.34% of his games), hinting that Chris prefers to let his pawns fully mature before delivering the knockout blow—patience really is a virtue, or should we say, a virus extinction strategy.

Off the board, Chris plays a long game, steadily maintaining a positive win record across all time controls, especially excelling in Daily chess with nearly 300 wins. He’s faced a zoo of opponents, with some like “stefano73” and “marinelli_b” proving tricky — the perfect environment for natural selection to thrive.

Whether launching a cellular “Kings Pawn Opening” attack or slipping through with a molecular “Queen’s Pawn Zukertort Chigorin Variation,” Chris DeMelo embodies the evolutionary power of strategy, patience, and just a pinch of chessboard mitosis.

Keep an eye on this mighty player as he continues to multiply victories and dominate his chess ecosystem!
