Orlando Mory (OrlaM-e4)

Known in the chess hustle as OrlaM-e4, Orlando Mory is a blitz enthusiast and bullet battler whose journey on the 64 squares is as dynamic as a knight’s leap. Diving headfirst into the chaotic battlegrounds of chess.com, Orlando has mastered the art of balancing sheer speed with tactical smarts, often leaving opponents wondering if they just faced a grandmaster or a speedster with caffeine in their veins.

Playing Style & Strengths

Orlando’s preferred time control is Blitz, where he surged up to a peak rating of 878 in April 2025. His playstyle features a modest early resignation rate (only about 7%), which hints at his stubborn refusal to give up—even when his king is practically asking for mercy. His average winning games wrap up in roughly 32 moves, while losses tend to drag out (about 46 moves), suggesting he’s sometimes living on the edge before the proverbial chessboard hits the fan.

A tactician at heart, Orlando boasts a remarkable comeback rate of 74%, relishing the challenge of clawing back after setbacks. Even losing a piece, he fights on with nearly 49% wins after such adversity. His psychological resilience is notable, with a tilt factor on the modest side at 13, proving he doesn’t let losses throw him off too much.

Opening Arsenal

Orlando has a clear candy – the Van t Kruijs Opening is his signature weapon in blitz, yielding an alarming 81% win rate over 113 games. The French Defense and its variants are also trusted allies, boasting solid results. However, when he ventures into the King's Pawn opening lands, his fortunes get a bit mixed, proving that even the best have their kryptonite.

In the bullet arena, he maintains swagger with strong results in Van t Kruijs (69% wins) and even has a knack for undefined openings, winning over 77% of those games — mystery truly is his middle name.

Battle Records

Orlando has played a whopping number of games across formats: 454 wins, 237 losses, and 32 draws. His blitz fans cheer the most, with 285 wins and an impressive knack for timing out opponents (648 victories through timeout alone!).

He also enjoys slugging it out with familiar foes, like supercoolguyyouknow (with close to 89% win record against them) and qing0101 (a flawless 100% win rate), proving he knows how to learn from every encounter.

Recent Highlights

Fresh from another victorious blitz skirmish, Orlando sealed his latest win with a clever 1. e3 move in a Three-Check variant match, outwitting chesskidchamp9690 by good old-fashioned time pressure. While bullet and rapid are his playgrounds too, blitz remains where he truly shines. And when the chips are down—even against fierce opposition—he’s the comeback kid, refusing to go quietly.

Opponents beware: with a longest winning streak of 22 games and a current winning streak running, Orlando Mory is a force to reckon with, ready to turn any chessboard into his own personal arena of triumph.

Fun Fact

If you ever catch Orlando taking a break between games, beware—he might be plotting a surprise attack, or simply pondering if a pawn promotion warrants a celebratory dance. Chess isn't just a game to him; it's a fast-paced, brain-bending rollercoaster with jokes hidden between the moves.
