Naman Moda

Profile Summary: Naman Moda

Meet namanmoda, a chess player whose journey on the 64 squares can best be described as a rollercoaster ride through tactical skirmishes, strategic battles, and occasional bouts of “why did I resign so early?” moments.

Rating Adventures

Naman’s chess rating has seen more ups and downs than a knight on a mission. His peak blitz rating soared to an impressive 1067 in mid-2022, proving he's got serious quick-thinking skills. Rapid play seems to be where he shines brightest, peaking at a stellar 1097 as recently as April 2024. Bullet’s been a bit of a battlefield with a top at 961, while daily games reflect his enduring dedication, maxing out at 1049.

Playing Style: Patience Meets Persistence

Known for a surprisingly high early resignation rate of around 3.6%, Naman sometimes bites the bullet too early. But worry not, because his endgame frequency is a whopping 68.5%, showing he’s got the stamina to fight till the end. With average moves per game hovering around 60, he’s no flash-in-the-pan type; rather, a thinker who enjoys the long haul.

Tactical Awareness and Comebacks

His comeback rate is an incredible 78.9%, so if Naman’s behind, don’t count him out just yet. His knack for clawing back after losing a piece led to victories nearly half the time. And despite a tilt factor of 9 (yes, he gets a bit salty now and then), he keeps bouncing back with resilience.

Session Stats and Battle Records

Over his blitz career, Naman has battled through nearly 5700 games with an almost even record—2736 wins to 2719 losses, sprinkled with 244 draws. Against familiar foes like arumugam1979 and ajit_t, he's clocked decent win rates above 60%, showcasing healthy rivalries. His favorite openings? Well, that’s classified as a "Top Secret," but judging by his games, he loves to mix it up with Queen’s Pawn and Caro-Kann openings.

Best Moves & Timing

Curiously, Naman’s best time of day to play is 1 AM, which might explain those sleepy but brilliant moves—chess insomnia, anyone? With a respectable white win rate of 50.4%, and a solid black performance at 45.7%, Naman adapts well regardless of color. His preferred playing hours coincide with excellent win rates, particularly mornings around 8-10 AM and evenings around 6-10 PM.

Highlight Reel: Recent Games

Fresh from his recent battles, namanmoda stunningly secured a win on time against ibrahimeldesouky in a Queen’s Pawn Opening battle, demonstrating time management skills worthy of a grandmaster (or at least a patient chess clock whisperer). Of course, not all days can be victories, as shown by some sharp defeats, including one lost by checkmate against vdhsjx, reminding us all that even the best players have their off days.

Fun Fact

If chess was about socializing, Naman would be king of the club – he’s played hundreds of games, often facing the same opponents more than a dozen times each. This dedication to rivalry and relentless button-mashing on blitz makes chess less a game and more an epic saga in his life.

In sum, Naman Moda is a resilient, sometimes unpredictable chess enthusiast who loves deep endgames, formidable comebacks, and a good time spent puzzling over checkmate. Whether it's blitz, rapid, bullet, or daily games, he's there battling fiercely – maybe a bit too early to throw in the towel, but always ready for the next challenge.
