Remington R., aka RemingtonReed
Once a humble chess enthusiast, Remington has traveled the rollercoaster of pawns and knights, fighting valiantly on the battlefield of the 64 squares since 2020. With a peak daily rating touching 1124 in early 2023, Remington proves that steady improvement and persistence can make a knight out of a pawn.
Playing Style & Personality
Remington’s games are a curious mixture of dogged determination and tactical surprises. Known for a somewhat early resignation rate of about 10%, he doesn’t shy away from waving the white flag — but hey, who hasn’t sassed a few game throws after a blunder? His endgame frequency hovers around 40%, a sure sign that Remington enjoys the long grind as much as the opening flair.
White pieces yield a modest 40% win rate, but stepping into the shadows with Black seems to inspire him, with nearly 49% wins. Don’t count him out after losing a piece either — a comeback rate of 54% means he can still turn a knife-edged fight into a win when the chips are down.
Opening Choices
When asked about his favorite opening, Remington might chuckle and say “Why not try them all?” But a quick look at stats shows a fondness for the Queen's Pawn Opening — especially the Van 't Kruijs Opening where he boasts a neat 100% win rate in 3 games (take that, skeptics!). The King’s Pawn Opening King's Knight Variation also serves him well with a respectable 55% success. On the other hand, some tough love with the Philidor Defense keeps Remington humble at a 37.5% win rate.
Record Snapshot & Rivalries
Across the board, Remington has tallied 69 wins, 68 losses, and a single brave draw in daily games — a statistic that says “I play to win, but I’m not afraid to lose spectacularly.” His longest winning streak is an impressive 6 games, though a 7-game losing streak reminds us even the best stumble.
He has tangled most frequently with formidable opponents like kai_sa_chs (17 encounters) and 123wamderson (10 battles). Against these chess warriors, his win rate hovers around 35% to 37%, showing fierce competition — and likely some hilarious post-game chat.

Did you know?
Remington’s best shinobi move is playing at 11:00, his critical “best time of day to play,” where he boasts a flawless 100% win rate in select hours (yes, the numbers lie not). Also, he’s a bit of a creature of habit, with a tilt factor at 7 — which means he occasionally needs to walk away from the board and breathe before diving back in (chess nerves are real!).
Fun Fact
Despite the epic wins and losses, Remington’s win rate against higher-rated foes is about 24% — secretly proving he loves being the underdog with a daring twist.
Whether future grandmaster or just the next neighborhood legend, RemingtonReed keeps the chess world on its toes — one daily game at a time.
