Chess Player Profile: ED ED (aka YvngM1)

ED ED, popularly known by the enigmatic username YvngM1, is a rapidly rising star in the online chess world. Known for battling with characteristic resilience and an unpredictable tactical flair, ED ED has proven to be a persistent contender across multiple time formats: Rapid, Blitz, Bullet, and Daily chess.

Rating Journey & Playing Strength

Starting humbly with a rapid rating in the low hundreds back in late 2022, ED ED’s rating skyrocketed to a staggering peak of 1340 in Rapid by January 2025. A similar upward trend is visible in blitz and bullet games, reaching peaks of 908 and 765 respectively. In daily games, this player enjoys a solid 816, showing excellent consistency in slower formats as well.

ED ED’s chess style can be summarized as a rollercoaster of inspiration and occasional chaos—boasting a come back rate of over 73%! Not one to throw in the towel easily, this player has mastered the art of snatching victory from the jaws of defeat. However, with an early resignation rate of nearly 9%, sometimes patience isn’t their strongest virtue.

Playing Tendencies

• Average moves per win: About 55 moves – because why rush brilliance?
• Average moves per loss: Around 46 moves – fights till the bitter end (or at least until regret kicks in).
• Win rate with White pieces: A confident 53.18%, proving once again that the first move advantage isn’t a myth.
• Win rate with Black pieces: A respectable 45.04%, showing the skill to defend and counterattack effectively.
• Psychological quirks: Has a tilt factor of 14%, which is high enough to add a little drama – so don’t underestimate how a loss might fuel their next fiery comeback.

Favorite Openings & Battle Style

When it comes to openings, ED ED likes to keep opponents guessing. Most games are played with the beloved Unknown Opening, boasting a near 50% win rate, but also dabbles in a “Top Secret” repertoire. Classics like the Ruy Lopez and adventurous gambits such as the Englund Gambit and Center Game Accepted spice up their tactical playbook.

This player’s game is a blend of endurance and spectacle — thriving in complex endgames almost half the time and only ever resigning early when the situation truly calls for it. If you want to see a fight, tuning into one of their games at 12:00 PM (their prime time) is a winning bet.
