NotDraoude: The Chessboard's Enigmatic Strategist
Meet NotDraoude, a rapid chess enthusiast with a flair for dramatic comebacks and a sometimes love-hate relationship with opponents. With a peak rapid rating soaring to 671 in April 2025, this player has demonstrated a keen tactical awareness and a persistent spirit on the 64 squares.
Playing Style & Strengths
Known for an endgame frequency of nearly 70%, NotDraoude prefers battles that stretch into the late hours where precision is key. With an average of about 61 moves to win, patience and long-term strategy are the name of the game. Interestingly, early resignations are a rare sight, clocking in at a humble 1.5%, proving that NotDraoude sticks around for the fireworks.
The comeback rate at a staggering 73% shows that giving up is never an option — losses often turn into lessons and, eventually, victories. A slight edge with the white pieces (51.56% win rate) suggests NotDraoude enjoys kicking off the game and setting the tone, though black pieces battles are no slouch either with a hearty 47.51% win rate.
Favorite Openings
A connoisseur of the French Defense, particularly the lively Knight Variations and Mikenas Defense where NotDraoude’s win rates hover around the strong 60-67% mark. The Englund Gambit is another surprise weapon wielded with about 58% success in rapid play — because who doesn't like a gambit that spices things up? On the opposing side, the Queens Pawn Opening variants show both love and challenge with a decent 50% win rate.
Recent Battles: Victories & Defeats
NotDraoude’s recent games are a rollercoaster of excitement. For instance, a masterful checkmate victory in June 2025 using the French Defense Classical Swiss Variation, ending a clinching 61-move marathon that can only be described as “endgame poetry.” Yet, even masters are not immune to setbacks — losses such as a rapid checkmate at the hands of a crafty opponent in an Advance Variation game just add fuel to the fire.
Psychological Profile & Quirks
With a tilt factor of 9, NotDraoude occasionally succumbs to the emotional rollercoaster that all passionate gamers know and feel. Best games tend to happen around 3 PM, so maybe that’s when the coffee kicks in or the opponent's alertness dips. Expect fierce battles on Mondays and Sundays, where win rates peak at over 50% and up to a brilliant 60% respectively.
