Meet oheyl: The Rapid Riser of the Chessboard

Once upon a 64-square battlefield, there emerged a challenger known simply as oheyl. With a peak rapid rating flirting impressively with the 539 mark earlier this year, oheyl has proven to be quite the chess enthusiast—if not a grandmaster yet, certainly an enthusiast with style and some sneaky tactics.

Quick Snapshot

• Current Rapid Rating: 529
• Peak Bullet Rating: 441
• Daily Chess Adventures: A modest 341 rating from just one fierce battle (spoiler: a loss!)
• Games Played in 2024 (Rapid): 127
• Win/Loss/Draw in Rapid: 75 / 67 / 13

Favorite Openings & Signature Moves

oheyl enjoys shaking up the board with less common but effective openings:

• Sicilian Defense - Bowdler Attack: Undefeated! 5 wins out of 5 games — a true ace in this line.
• Bishop's Opening - Boi Variation: An impressive 83% win rate showcases some serious bishop power.
• Van 't Kruijs Opening: Wins 80% of these games, proving an adventurous spirit in the opening phase.
• King's Pawn Opening: Nearly balanced with a 45% win rate — good, but room for furious improvements!

Playing Habits & Quirks

If there were awards for persistence, oheyl would have bagged the Longest Winning Streak trophy at 9 games and also the less glamorous Longest Losing Streak (8 games) — talk about the emotional roller coaster of chess!

Not one to throw in the towel too soon, the early resignation rate stands at about 22%, which might just be the brain's way of conceding that the pizza delivery is about to arrive.

Game lengths suggest a thoughtful player, with an average of ~51 moves when claiming victory and ~46 moves in defeat. They like to squeeze every drop of drama from both wins and losses.

The Psychological Chess Clock

14:00 appears to be oheyl's magic hour on the clock, boasting an 85.7% win rate during that time. Meanwhile, Wednesdays are basically "oheyl-Day," with a stunning 100% win rate on that day of the week. If Wednesday was a piece, it would be a queen in this player's arsenal.

But beware—the Tilt Factor of 8 means frustration can sneak in sometimes, perhaps after losing the queen to an unexpected knight fork or spilling coffee over the keyboard.

Notable Victories & Rivals

oheyl's nemesis? shinaick, with 32 battles fought (and an unfortunate 9% win rate against them). However, against hello_there_m, oheyl has a 67% success rate, revealing a knack to bounce back from tough matchups.

The most recent triumph was a solid win by resignation using the Van 't Kruijs Opening on August 19, 2024 — proof that oheyl’s strategic depth can intimidate even well-rated opponents.

Summary

Chess journey of oheyl is a tale of ups and downs, tactics and persistence, coffee spills and late-night brainwaves. Whether it’s burning the midnight oil with rapid games or testing bullet speed, oheyl brings heart and humor to each encounter on the board. Here's to many more battles, victories, and maybe a few less resignations (unless pizza is involved).
