Alan Palma: The Queen's Gambit of Chess Humor
Meet Alan Palma, a chess player whose rating evolution is nothing short of a biological experiment in growth and persistence. Starting in 2024 with a rapid rating of 254 and climbing up to an impressive 420 by 2025, Alan's journey resembles a phoenix rising—only his wings are made of pawns, knights, and unpredictable gambits!
Alan’s style could be described as a curious blend of strategy and adaptability, with a fascinating penchant for the Queen's Pawn Opening and the Englund Gambit, both with win rates hovering above 60% in rapid play. Clearly, Alan knows how to make his opponents fork their plans and check their confidence. His tactical awareness shines brightest with a stunning 100% win rate after losing a piece—his comeback rate is a hearty 63.55%, proving he’s no pushover in the evolutionary arms race that is chess.
Despite a mild tilt factor of 7 (he’s only human, after all), Alan’s psychological resilience is commendable. With an early resignation rate of just 10.1%, he prefers to stay in the game and let his strategies king the board rather than give up early, showing impressive endgame frequency at nearly 57%. Alan's average moves per win (54.2) and loss (61.1) suggest he’s not in a rush to mate, enjoying the chessboard as if it’s his own petri dish.
Alan’s performance radiates like bioluminescence under certain conditions—especially at 13:00, 12:00, 9:00, and 15:00 hours, where he holds a perfect 100% win rate. His days peak on Thursdays with a 66.67% win rate, proving that even in chess, timing is everything.
When not busy analyzing his “chemical reactions” between pawns and pieces, Alan faces a host of opponents ranging from “allexannderr” to “prakharpateriya,” handling a diverse ecosystem of challengers with varying success—except, perhaps, for “kakaioken,” against whom the win rate is a modest 3.85%. Everyone’s got their kryptonite, after all.
So if you ever find yourself tangled in the complex web of pawn structures and knight forks, look no further than Alan Palma—a player who proves that chess, like biology, is all about adaptation, survival, and occasionally a good pun.
