Over the years, notfordhi has logged more than 650 Rapid games, accumulating 300 wins, 337 losses, and 27 draws. The battlefield is clearly fierce, but resilience is key—evidenced by a staggering 72% comeback rate after losing material. In fact, the longest losing streak was a painful 13 games, yet our hero never stopped fighting, recently bouncing back with fresh wins.

Playing style? Long, grueling battles are not strangers here — with an average winning game lasting about 54 moves, and losses stretching even longer at nearly 62 moves on average. Notfordhi prefers to test opponents deep into the endgame, making each match a suspenseful saga.

When it comes to openings, this player is an adventurous tactician. The trusty Scandinavian Defense boasts nearly 65% win rate, and the French Defense Normal Variation shines with the best win rate at 78.57%. Meanwhile, the Englund Gambit is a surprising secret weapon with 68.75% victories. It's clear that notfordhi enjoys mixing classic lines with some spicy gambits.

For game time rituals, evenings (especially around 7 PM) seem to be prime time for this player’s best performances, with a 66.67% win rate at 7 PM and an impressive 56% win rate on Wednesdays overall. But beware the 8 AM matches, where notfordhi's win rate drops to 11.54%—mornings might still feel like a puzzle to solve.

The psychological game is strong here: tilt factor is only 13%, so whether victory or defeat, this player keeps a cool head. Just beware of the temptation to resign early — about 6.5% of the time. But when push comes to shove, notfordhi loves fighting to the very last piece.

Recent games tell their own story: just last month, a spectacular win was delivered by resignation against steamboatlol after a strategic onslaught. Checkmate victories and resilient defenses pepper the record. Yet, like any true challenger, no stranger to defeat either — with tough losses against opponents like Kelly8430.

Whether launching a Kings Pawn opening or conjuring the Queen’s Gambit Chigorin variation, notfordhi remains a fighter with a quirky, unpredictable style. It’s a journey of learning, adapting, and most importantly, loving the game — because sometimes it’s not just about winning, but how dramatically you play!
