About Edd: The Chessboard Biologist
Meet Edd, a player whose chess career is as dynamic as a cell in mitosis! Although his ratings might not cause a nuclear reaction on the grandmaster circuit, his games are certainly packed with natural selection and clever adaptations. From bullet skirmishes to rapid battles and daily marathons, Edd’s chess style is a fascinating organism evolving with each match.
Performance Snapshot
- Bullet: A speedy but somewhat fragile species. Edd’s bullet rating blossomed from a humble 100 to a peak of 256 in 2025, though victories are rarer than double helix twists in a winless spiral.
- Rapid: The prime habitat where Edd enjoys thriving. With an adventurous opening repertoire including the Pirc Defense (100% win rate here!), this player has demonstrated tactical resilience akin to the genetic comeback of a lost allele.
- Blitz: Quick reflexes meet trial and error. Edd showed moments of brilliance but can't escape the evolutionary arms race just yet.
- Daily: Slow and steady or just slow? Edd’s sole daily game peaked at a rating of 800, but alas, it ended in extinction—a loss.
Opening DNA
Edd loves mixing it up on the chessboard genome. Notably, the Pirc Defense is his survival gene, boasting an undefeated record. Meanwhile, in bullet, his Dutch Defense Staunton Gambit Accepted move came through like a beneficial mutation with a 100% success rate. A true fan of evolutionary variety, Edd experiments with everything from the Three Knights Opening to the Queens Pawn variations—truly a specimen with eclectic tastes!
Streaks & Strategies
With a longest winning streak of 5, Edd can definitely rally like a strong immune response to an invading opponent. His average moves per win hover around 43, suggesting a patient, methodical approach—like cellular replication done right. However, the early resignation rate of 44.44% indicates a willingness to admit defeat swiftly, avoiding unnecessary energy expenditure—smart but slightly pessimistic.
Psychological Traits
Edd shows a low tilt factor of 8, meaning he keeps his cool even when the board looks like a chaotic ecosystem. Impressively, his comeback rate sits near 48%, and his win rate after losing a piece oddly blossoms to 100%, showing he has the regenerative power of a planarian worm—losing a piece isn’t the end, it’s a chance to regenerate strategy!
Favorite Opponents
Edd has tangled most often with marcus_lim_kai_rei with moderate success (33.33% win rate) but boasts flawless wins against players like ctdutton, rixw123, and several others—clearly, Edd thrives in certain ecosystems more than others.
In the grand bazaar of chess evolution, Edd stands as a resilient, adaptive contender. Not always the fastest or the strongest on the board, but never one to vanish without a fight—proof that even in the vast wilderness of 64 squares, survival of the fittest includes clever, quirky players like him.
