Player Profile: odegaardbestcm
Meet odegaardbestcm, a spirited chess enthusiast who dances on the 64 squares with a unique blend of grit, strategy, and a sprinkle of delightful unpredictability. While not yet a grandmaster, this player’s journey through the ranks is marked by perseverance, rapid rating surges, and a stubborn refusal to resign gracefully too often—except when really necessary (around 5% early resignation rate, but who's counting?).
Rating Rollercoaster & Style
In the swift currents of Rapid chess, odegaardbestcm reached a peak rating of 810 in mid-2023, showcasing steady improvement and a penchant for winning almost as often as they lose (168 wins vs 158 losses, with 12 dramatic draws). Blitz and Bullet show more adventurous times, with a peak Bullet rating of 849, though the Blitz record suggests some wild swings and learning moments.
This player prefers engaging in complicated positions, as evidenced by a substantial endgame frequency of 56.65%, with a keen tactical awareness: a notable 71.18% comeback rate and the ability to win almost 43% of games even after losing a piece. If the chips are down, odegaardbestcm has a fighting spirit that refuses to be underestimated.
Favorites on the Board
When it comes to openings, odegaardbestcm shows affection for the Bishop’s Opening (almost 50 games played) and notably shines with the Englund Gambit, where an impressive 61.9% win rate proves the gambit is more than just a wild card move here. Other reliable weapons include the Three Knights Opening and the Giuoco Piano Pianissimo Variation, indicating a taste for classical and sound positions with opportunities for tactical shots.
Psychological Battle & Quirks
While the tilt factor of 8 suggests a common mortal trait (yes, even chess warriors can get a little salty), their best time to play is mysteriously at 5 AM — perhaps when the world is quiet and the brain is at its sneakiest. Interestingly, odegaardbestcm seems to love slow, deep games (avg moves per win: 51) and even loves a good fight before resigning or forcing the end.
Noteworthy Moments
Recent battles were a mix of brilliance and frustration. A recent spectacular checkmate win on November 3rd, 2023 (PGN Link), demonstrated skillful maneuvering in the Queen’s Pawn Opening, ending with a classic queen trap. On the flip side, sometimes even the best fall; a December 22nd, 2023 loss (PGN Link) reminded us all that chess is as humbling as it is thrilling.
In a Nutshell
odegaardbestcm is not just a name in the player list — it’s a story of determination, evolving strategy, and an unapologetic love for the game across all time controls, from rapid brain-burners to patient daily duels. Expect surprises, tactical fireworks, and a resilient contender who's always ready to play another game (or ten).
