Edward Porper - International Master Extraordinaire

Known in the chess circles as sherlok7, Edward Porper is a formidable International Master who has navigated the 64 squares with both finesse and a dash of mystery. Despite a rating rollercoaster that began at a humble 400 in Daily chess, Edward erupted onto the scene with a peak 1948 rating by 2021, proving persistence wins games (and rating points).

Edward’s brilliance shines particularly bright in Rapid chess, boasting a fiery peak rating of 2377 in 2018, reminiscent of a chess detective unraveling complex positions faster than you can say "checkmate." Blitz and Daily formats show his versatility, though the early resignation rate of 86.36% suggests Edward isn’t afraid to know when to fold ’em and focus on the next battle.

Playing Style and Records

Edward favors deep, strategic battles with an average of 51 moves per win — a marathoner more than a sprinter. But beware: most losses finish sharp and swift in under 14 moves, hinting that a rough start means immediate damage control or an early concession. Impressively, his comeback rate stands at a stunning 65.12%, with a perfect 100% win rate after losing a piece. Talk about turning lemons into winning endgames!

His consistency with White and Black pieces is nearly equal (win rates of 57.89% and 55.26% respectively), revealing a flexible mindset ready for any opening, though the secret sauce behind all results mysteriously remains classified under “Top Secret” openings — probably a high-level gambit that leaves opponents scratching their heads.

Memorable Streaks and Opponents

Edward once embarked on a legendary 21-game winning streak, possibly fueled by sheer caffeine and relentless board focus. Though his current streak is zero, one never counts out a master who can flip a 0-2 rapid deficit into a victory with tactical brilliance.

While the list of frequently faced foes reads like a who's who of online warrooms — including stepanosinovsky, yash3112, and miuw_1453 — his win record against these rivals is comically dismal. But don’t be fooled; Edward sports a 100% win record against players with names as intriguing as konstantinos_kapatos and jasonthedon69, proving sometimes it’s just about style over substance.

Psychological Notes

With a modest tilt factor of 17 and a notable 27.6% higher win rate in rated games compared to casual ones, Edward wears competitive pressure like a badge of honor. Early resignation might point at a strategic avoidance of drawn-out misery — after all, even a grandmaster needs to know when to conserve mental energy for the next encounter!

Fun Facts

• Owns a 100% win rate playing chess at 1 AM, 7 AM, 8 AM, 9 AM, 12 PM, and 23 PM — clearly an adventurer of odd hours.
• Has an uncanny ability to win on Tuesdays and Saturdays with a solid 100% success rate.
• Prefers quietly dismantling opponents over 60+ move duels but is not averse to quick fireworks when necessary.

Edward Porper is not just a player; he’s a chess marathon runner, a comeback king, and perhaps the ultimate guardian of Top Secret opening theory yet to be leaked.
