Profile: alex_2357
Meet alex_2357, a chess enthusiast whose rapid rating journey in 2025 is nothing short of a rollercoaster ride – from a cautious 234 to a daring peak of 730, ending the season strong at 706. While bullet chess might not be their speediest suit (a modest max of 287), alex keeps things interesting with some serious tactical flair, boasting a perfect 100% win rate after losing a piece. Talk about turning lemons into lemonade!
Playing Style & Personality
Alex prefers lengthy endgames (they happen in over 50% of their matches), showing patience and persistence with an average of nearly 50 moves before clinching a win. Early resignations are rare (just 6.77%), so rest assured, they stick around for the fight. Whether playing white or black, alex maintains a solid edge, winning more than half the time on either side of the board.
Beware their psychological strength: a low tilt factor (5) proves they're cool under pressure, and their rated-vs-casual win difference over 54% means they take competition seriously. But hey, everyone has their off days – bullet games show a balanced 50/50 win/loss record!

- Nimzowitsch Defense: A secret weapon with a scorching 83% win rate over 6 games.
