Andy Le: The Chessboard Biologist

Andy Le, known in the online chess biosphere as Puppyhong, is a player whose progress looks like an evolutionary masterpiece. Starting from humble beginnings around a 700 rapid rating in 2020, Andy has methodically mutated his skills, reaching a rapid rating peak of 1197 in 2025 – proving his rating curve is anything but stagnant DNA!

With a preferred opening preserved under "Top Secret," Andy’s strategic genome has shown a consistent win rate hovering just shy of 48% in rapid games, and even up to 56% in the explosive bullet format. A crafty tactician, he boasts a 95% win rate after losing a piece, an evolutionary trait that makes him resilient and hard to checkmate. One might say he has a hearty “comeback gene,” with a comeback rate surpassing 61%.

Andy’s playing style reveals fascinating behavioral patterns: a healthy dose of early resignations (around 20%) keeping his energy optimized, while an impressive half of his battles reach the endgame stage, where his average moves per win hover around 52 – long enough for complex mutations on the board.

Like a creature adapted to the wild chess ecosystem, Andy favors battles during the evening hours, showing a win peak around 6–7 PM, and a notable tilt factor of 8 hints at a mild sensitivity to the heat of competition. Despite this, he maintains a roughly 50% win rate whether donning white or black pieces, showing balanced adaptability in both roles.

Frequently encountering opponents such as mach30 and voughtinternational, Andy’s record is a mix of symbiotic victories and evolutionary challenges, refining his approach each match. His longest winning streak reaches an impressive 15 games, a true fitness test on the chessboard.

Outside of tactical genes and win-loss phenotypes, Andy's chess career is a charming blend of resilience, curiosity, and a playful spirit – proving that in the vast biosphere of chess, he’s a successful specimen who keeps evolving with every move.
