Profile Summary: potpiedude
Known in the chess world as potpiedude, this player has proudly earned the prestigious title of National Master from National — a badge of honor that few claim without many sacrifices to the pawns and queens of past battles.
From humble beginnings in 2011 with a Bullet rating barely over 1500, potpiedude's journey skyrocketed to a max peak of an electrifying 2810 in 2024. That's a rating that could make even grandmasters pause mid-castle and reconsider their life choices.
In the fast and frantic realm of Bullet chess, potpiedude has played an astounding 41,000+ games, dazzling opponents with a win record that rivals the best — over 19,600 wins and counting. Legend tells of a 57 games winning streak that left bystanders wondering if their clocks were broken or if they had just witnessed a chess miracle.
Blitz enthusiasts also salute potpiedude’s fierce precision, maintaining a solid 62.8% win rate, all while juggling hundreds of games and dodging the bullet of quick strategies like a true chess ninja.
While Daily and Rapid formats have seen fewer games, those appearances boast impressive performances, including a 90.9% win rate in the more contemplative Daily games, proving that potpiedude is not only fast on the draw but wise with their moves.
Known for a sharp tactical awareness, the player boasts a staggering 99.9% win rate even after losing a piece—clearly someone who turns adversity into advantage like a chess Houdini.
Psychologically prepared, though with a noted tilt factor of 14 (hey, even masters get a bit flustered!), potpiedude enjoys a higher win rate when playing with White pieces (59.5%) but doesn’t shy away from battles as Black either (53.8%). Average games last around 73 moves when winning, which means this player loves a good strategic marathon instead of just quick kills.
Among the most frequently faced opponents are stalwarts like bm_on_icc, masterleif, and gomatte, some of whom have met a less than 60% success rate against this skilled maestro. Opponents beware: with openings performance marked as "Top Secret," potripedude keeps their opening gambits under wraps as an ace up their sleeve.
In summary, potpiedude is a blend of speed, strategy, and stamina, making them a truly formidable presence on any chessboard. Whether blitzing through games or engaging in bullet battles that redefine lightning speed, opponents are left wondering if “potpiedude” stands for “Pot-Pie Dude” or “King of the Board.” Either way, it’s a recipe for checkmate!
Overall Performance and Trends

However, the long-term trend over 12 months shows a slight decline, suggesting some fluctuations in form. Maintaining consistency will be important going forward.
Opening Choices and Performance
You are comfortable with a variety of openings, including:
- French Defense Exchange Variation as White (seen in your e4 d4 structures)
- Caro-Kann Defense and its variations when playing Black against e4
- Pirc Defense variations in other games
Your familiarity with these openings gives you an edge in controlling the middle and setting up for tactical opportunities. Paying close attention to early middlegame plans from these openings can further strengthen your positions.
Recent Game Highlights
- Strength in Tactical Awareness: Your wins often feature sharp tactical play, converting material and checkmate patterns effectively.
- Timing and Speed: In bullet format, your time management is good, especially converting winning positions under time pressure.
