Meet Mark - The Chess Warrior with a Secret Opening
Mark, known in the chess circles as Randomized_man, is not your average chess player. If chess were a battlefield, Mark would be the master tactician who sometimes fights like a general and sometimes like a mischievous trickster. His favorite move? A mysterious Top Secret opening that has baffled many opponents across various formats.
A Rollercoaster Rating Ride
Mark’s journey through the ratings has been an exhilarating rollercoaster. In 2024, he peaked with a daily rating soaring to 862, but bullet chess taught him humility with highs of only 817 dropping rapidly to lows around 201. His resilience shines in the daily category, maintaining an impressive average near 780 and even hitting a 957 max in 2025. Blitz and rapid chess? Let’s just say those are the formats where Mark reminds everyone that practice makes perfect… eventually.
Playing Style & Quirks
- Endgame Enthusiast: Nearly half of his games wind down to endgame battles, proving patience is his middle name.
- Early Resignation Rate: Only 3.88%, because giving up is not in the Randomized_man’s vocabulary... unless the opponent sneaks a sneaky trap.
- Tactical Brilliance: With a jaw-dropping 100% win rate after losing a piece and a comeback rate over 70%, Mark is the ultimate underdog who thrives when the chips are down.
- Game Length: Around 53 moves per game, suggesting Mark enjoys a good, long cerebral duel — coffee optional but recommended.
The Streaks and Rivalries
Mark has enjoyed a longest winning streak of 9 games and is currently on a modest 3-game hot streak — just enough to keep the mystery alive. His favorite opponents include zoe1986, mandycox1, leafdrop22, and other familiar faces he’s tangled with over and over, sometimes triumphing spectacularly, sometimes surrendering with dignity.
Mood & Madness
With a tilt factor of 10, Mark occasionally lets frustration sneak in, but he’s never far from bouncing back stronger. Interestingly, he plays best on Thursdays and during late-night hours (23:00), when the stars align and his brain runs on pure inspiration (or maybe just coffee).
Chess in a Nutshell
Mark’s chess career is a thrilling mix of tactical audacity, mental endurance, and a sprinkle of comedic timing. Whether he's racing through bullet games or slowly outwitting opponents in daily matches, the Randomized_man always keeps everyone guessing and laughing.
Fun fact: If chess had a comedy category, Mark would win by checkmate... because who else can turn a losing position into a punchline?
