Profile: Saitama Genos (aka opm-am)

Meet Saitama Genos, or as the chess world knows him online, opm-am — a fierce rapid and blitz player with a penchant for tactical fireworks and some truly heroic comebacks. While he may not possess the unbeatable aura of his namesake, Saitama Genos's chess journey is anything but boring.

Chess Statistics and Style

With a peak rapid rating of 555, Genos shines brightest in his rapid games, boasting a nearly even win/loss record with 111 wins, 101 losses, and a few draws sprinkled in. His blitz play is scrappy and spirited, peaking at 288, while bullet remains a challenge where championship dreams meet stubborn reality (a tough 0 wins out of 10).

Known for a comeback rate of 62.77%, Genos refuses to bow out quietly. Even when down a piece, his fighting spirit keeps hope alive, pushing through complicated situations with a tactical awareness that will make you think twice before underestimating him.

He’s no stranger to early resignations either — about 11% of his games end in early concession. But when he’s on, his average winning game lasts a marathon 45 moves, proving this cyborg can endure the heat of a long strategic battle.

Opening Repertoire Highlights

• Van 't Kruijs Opening: A particular favorite in rapid and blitz formats, with a respectable 63% win rate in rapid games and an even more impressive 72% in blitz. If you see Genos starting like this, be ready for some sharp play!
• Scandinavian Defense: Not his strongest suit, with a modest 35% win rate — occasionally works better as a plot twist than a solid plan.
• French Defense (Normal Variation): A blitz powerhouse with over 83% wins — clearly comfortable in the trenches of this classic defense.
• King’s Pawn Opening: Balanced and versatile, yielding around 60% win rate in rapid and 50% in blitz.

Memorable Moments & Playstyle Quirks

Genos's best time to strike? Between 7 PM and 8 PM, where he racks up an amazing 83% win rate — maybe his internal circuits perform better after dinner. On the flipside, early mornings and late nights are less kind, so don’t invite him over for a chess marathon at 2 AM unless you want to feast.

Last recorded victories include brutal checkmates delivered with surgical precision, like the stunning mate against dodik101010 in just 12 moves (rumor has it Genos was reading “How to Kill Your Opponent’s King” beforehand). Even his losses are instructive, often featuring complex battles resolved by a single misstep or sometimes his opponents just getting "too spicy" with their attacks.

Psychological Profile

With a relatively low tilt factor of 9, Genos keeps his head cool, rarely letting frustration derail his focus — a valuable trait for any aspiring chess warrior. Early resignations are sometimes a strategic retreat, saving his mental "HP" for the next game.

Fun Fact

Despite sharing a name with an overpowered anime hero, Genos’s chess style is refreshingly human: imperfect, passionate, and unpredictably brilliant. Whether powering through the tides of rapid battles or holding his ground in blitz storm fights, this chess cyborg fights to prove that even mortals can reach impressive heights.

So next time you face the enigmatic opm-am, prepare yourself for chess moves that hit like his namesake’s punches—not one, not two, but sometimes a crushing sequence that leaves no doubt who's boss on the 64 squares.

Ready to play? Just remember: Genos might not be One Punch Man yet… but on the chessboard, he's packing a powerful punch all his own.
