Profile: Mudauza (Problem Mudau)
Also known as: Problem Mudau
Meet Mudauza, an intrepid Rapid chess battler who’s been making waves and occasionally taking plunges in the 300-700 rating rollercoaster. With a peak Rapid rating of 707 achieved in July 2023, Mudauza’s journey is less “grandmaster in the making” and more “unyielding gladiator of the 64 squares.”
Playing Style & Personality
Mudauza's style is a curious mix of stubborn endurance and swift tactical comebacks. With a comeback rate of over 72%, this player doesn’t easily fold – even if the odds or pieces are against them. An enthusiast for endgames, roughly 63% of their games reach those thrilling final phases. Average moves per win hover around 57, proving games go deep, and patience is a virtue. When Mudauza wins, it’s often by resignation – opponents probably throw in the towel trying to figure out how this player escaped peril once again.
Tilt Factor: 12 (That’s chess speak for “gets slightly annoyed but not enough to ragequit… usually.”)
Best Time to Duel: 1 AM – when the mind is mystically sharp and the caffeine arguably flows strongest.
Opening Repertoire
With a passion for the Scandinavian Defense (played in 51 Rapid games), Mudauza’s win rate is a respectable 39%, demonstrating a willingness to dive into rugged and unpredictable waters. The Queen’s Pawn Opening shines brightest with a 62% win rate, perhaps Mudauza’s personal secret weapon. On the flip side, tricky opponents have exploited the Reti Opening with only a 19% success rate – a clear candidate for some sneaky training sessions ahead.

- Queen’s Pawn Opening: 61.9% Win Rate
