Once upon a chessboard, there emerged a player known as otamod, a mysterious force who dances with knights and commands pawns like a grandmaster of the wild west—quick on the draw and twice as sneaky. Zooming through the ranks since 2017, otamod has transformed from a humble bullet battler into a formidable blitz specialist, with a peak blitz rating soaring to an impressive 2250 in April 2022.
With a Bullet peak rating flirting with the 2000 mark and a Rapid pinnacle right around 1500, otamod’s style blends speed, cunning, and endurance—a kind of chess cocktail best served with a timer in hand and a smirk on the face. Their games are not just contests of skill but mini-dramas where every move counts and resignation is an art form perfected to under 1% of their games.
Game Style & Traits
Early Resignation Rate: A mere 0.74%, proving otamod is not one to throw in the towel without a fight.
Endgame Enthusiast: Appearing in approximately 74% of games, otamod loves a good endgame as much as a late dinner.
Average Moves: Wins clock in at about 64 moves, losses stretch a bit longer — 66 moves — showing a stamina that could challenge a marathon runner.
First Capture Move: Typically by move 6, otamod knows when it’s time to get down to business.

Psychological Edge: A tilt factor of 21 suggests some occasional frustration—hey, who doesn’t get riled up when their rook goes rogue?
Statistically Speaking...
A look at the numbers uncovers an intense bullet and blitz veteran, playing nearly 21,000 games in bullet and over 25,000 in blitz. Wins and losses are quite balanced, reflecting fierce competition and possibly some nail-biting nail-biter finishes:
Bullet: 7,886 wins vs. 8,892 losses (plus a few draws)
Blitz: 12,363 wins vs. 12,727 losses (with over a thousand draws)
Rapid: A modest but perfect 2-0 in all recorded games
Preferred Openings
otamod is a passionate explorer of the Alekhine's Defense, Scandinavian Defense lines, and the cheeky Danish Gambit. A dab hand at tricky variations like the Smith-Morra Gambit (with a nearly 50% win rate in Blitz) and Alekhine’s Exchange variation, otamod clearly favors stirring up the pot early on!
Memorable Opponents
The most frequent sparring partners include volodya_shkandrii, eyar, and mgab15—all reporting battle counts ranging from 50 to 85 games each. Despite some tough adversaries, otamod shines with remarkable win rates against select challengers such as iliad4, bortek123, and fz2b—you know, the kind who keep coming back for more (and maybe wishing they didn't!).
