Profile Summary: pawnmedley

Meet pawnmedley, a title-holder with the prestigious badge of International Master from FIDE. Not just your average chess enthusiast, pawnmedley blends strategic prowess with a lively gaming history that's as colorful as a well-placed bishop!

Since stepping into the rapid and blitz arenas around 2015, pawnmedley has proven to be a formidable opponent, especially in blitz chess where they've hit a peak rating of 2504 in September 2020. Bullet chess lovers will be impressed too, as pawnmedley soared to a blazing 2201 in early 2020. Rapid chess, while a bit more methodical, still showed a respectable peak rating of 1909.

What truly impresses is their tactical resilience — an astonishing 82.38% comeback rate! Give pawnmedley a lost piece, and they have nearly a 50/50 chance to turn the tables. In fact, they have an uncanny ability to keep calm under pressure, having a tilt factor as low as 8, so expect no emotional outbursts here, just cool calculated moves.

Bonus points for the style: pawnmedley prefers to stick around in the endgame, with a whopping 76% frequency — apparently they like to savor the sweet taste of strategy after the dust has settled. And don't be fooled by quick surrenders; their early resignation rate is barely above 1%, proving that patience and perseverance are their virtues.

On the psychological side, mornings might just be their secret weapon — their best time to play is around 9 AM, with a striking win rate spike early in the day. And should you decide to face pawnmedley on a Saturday or Thursday at 14:00 or 15:00, watch out: these are some of their statistically strongest moments.

Most Memorable Encounter

Some recent games tell a tale of tenacity and skill. For example, in a tense 2021 blitz battle against “nissou-ach” (a frequently played opponent), pawnmedley showcased sharp opening choices with the Vienna Game and Owens Defense, wrapping up the game with a resignation victory after thorough positional domination — a fitting showcase for an International Master.

"I came for the pawns, but stayed for the checkmates." — pawnmedley, probably.

When it comes to opponents, pawnmedley has played “raymondcarver” the most (136 games), though that matchup is a tough nut with only a 27.21% win rate. But with hundreds of wins and a longest winning streak of 11 games, this player balances fierce competition with solid consistency.

Whether you are a chess fan looking up to an IM or just wondering how to survive a post-pandemic ladder blitz, pawnmedley is a player to watch—always hungry for more wins, fewer losses, and lots of chess fun.
