Profile: 2Noses
Meet 2Noses, a rapidly emerging chess enthusiast whose name alone intrigues opponents and fans alike. Despite the mysterious moniker, 2Noses boasts a game as sharp as their nickname is quirky. With a peak rapid rating of 720 achieved in May 2025, 2Noses has shown a formidable talent for outwitting opponents, especially when wielding the Scandinavian Defense Mieses Kotrc Variation, where they’ve secured an impressive 75% win rate.
A statistics aficionado’s delight, 2Noses’ rapid games reveal an adventurous spirit: an average rating trajectory climbing from 228 to the mid-600s within just a few months and a commendable winning streak cap of 11 games. Although their blitz career is brief and slightly unlucky (with only 1 recorded loss), their rapid play tells the real story of their dedication and improving skill.
Known for a chess style that balances tenacity and a pinch of pragmatism, 2Noses embraces the long haul with almost 50% endgame frequency and tends to resign early in just over 2% of losses, showing the wisdom to know when to fight and when to regroup. Their comeback rate — an admirable 52% — shows a fighting spirit that refuses to back down, even when the odds are against them.
Opponents beware: 2Noses has bested a slew of challengers with 100% win rates against multiple foes, and even when "tilted" (with a low tilt factor of 6), they maintain focus with their best play appearing around 2 PM—which might just be the magic hour when 2Noses’ multiple “noses” sniff out victory.
Highlights include checkmate victories that showcase tactical brilliance and a keen eye for opportunity—whether executing a swift dispatch after the Italian Game or employing calculated pressure in the Giuoco Piano Game (with an impressive 83.3% win rate). Even when facing losses, 2Noses' sharp mind and resilient attitude keep fans eagerly awaiting their next daring move.
In short: 2Noses proves that sometimes the quirkiest handles belie the fiercest competitors on the board. Keep an eye on this player—more noses, more surprises!
