Andrew P. - aka oleador

Meet Andrew P., a chess enthusiast whose rapid rating juggle could rival a roller coaster ride! While his peak Rapid rating hit an impressive 875 in March 2025, his journey has been full of thrilling ups and downs, keeping fans on the edge of their seats. With 167 wins and a hair’s breadth difference of 166 losses in Rapid games alone, Andrew embodies the true spirit of competitive chess — persistence, resilience, and occasional dramatic flair.

Playing Style & Strategy

Andrew’s chess style is a fascinating mix of patient endgame precision and early tactical sharpness. He averages around 47 moves in winning games but lets battles drag on up to almost 68 moves in losses — looks like he enjoys a good fight before tipping the scale! His endgame frequency stands proudly above 55%, proving he's no stranger to the slow grind as well as sudden tactical fireworks. However, opponents beware: his comeback rate is a whopping 78.57%, so even if the chips are down, Andrew is the master of turning tables.

Openings: The Experimental Maestro

Andrew doesn’t shy away from dabbling in a diverse array of openings. The King’s Pawn Opening remains his best friend with a solid 53% win rate, but his especially impressive triumphs come via the Vienna Game Falkbeer Variation, where he secures victory more than half the time (55.56%). That said, the Bishop’s Opening seems to have a love-hate relationship with him, yielding a modest 25% win rate. Even so, his playbook is full of curveballs, often catching opponents off guard.

Blitz Battles & Quirks

Blitz is Andrew’s preferred time control, though his Blitz rating currently lingers below Rapid at 697 peak. He’s had a handful of Blitz games with mixed results — a youthful sprinter trying to catch his breath in a world of speed demons. Despite that, his win rate skyrockets at odd hours: an 85.7% success rate around 10 PM and a perfect 100% at 9 AM! Clearly, Andrew is a creature of habit who knows when his mental gears are best oiled.

Psychological Insights & Fun Facts

• Early resignation rate is surprisingly low at just 2.98%, indicating a fighter’s heart that refuses to quit.
• His “tilt factor” sits at a modest 8, meaning Andrew occasionally loses his cool, but usually stays pretty grounded.
