Profile Summary: alfwakeupneo
Once a curious chess enthusiast who dipped a toe into the endless sea of pawns and knights in 2016, alfwakeupneo has since experienced a whirlwind romance with the 64 squares. Starting with a modest Blitz rating of 1050, this player has bravely battled through thousands of games — over 13,000 Blitz games alone — with a nearly even split between wins and losses, proving resilience is the name of their game.
Since that initial stumble, they've steadily improved, peaking at a Daily rating of 1366 by 2025 — because why just blitz when you can play slow, thoughtful games and overthink your coffee too? Rapid ratings have seen highs into the 1200s, showing a nice balance between speed and strategy, while Bullet chess remains a niche playground with just a few battles fought (and lost).
Dedicated to the mysterious “Top Secret” openings (because who else uses openings named like espionage missions?), alfwakeupneo has a respectable win rate hovering around the mid-40s to low-60s percentile across all time controls. Don't be fooled by those serious stats though — this player has an admirable 12-game winning streak somewhere in their chess history, and a proven knack for making miraculous comebacks, with a comeback rate of nearly 75%.
Their chess style? Patient and persistent. Averaging over 60 moves per win, it’s clear alfwakeupneo doesn’t just rush for quick checkmates but enjoys the long, thrilling journeys to victory. Their penchant for early resignation is low, showing a never-give-up attitude, and their endgame savvy shines with frequent deep battles after the board has been whittled down.
Psychologically, tilt is kept to a minimum (only a 14% tilt factor), and it’s clear that for alfwakeupneo, chess is a marathon, not a sprint. With near equal success with white and black pieces, this player truly respects both sides of the battlefield. Whether it’s the wee hours of the morning (where bizarrely, the win rate spikes past 50%) or a Saturday showdown, alfwakeupneo is ready to castle, fork, and maybe throw in a cheeky pawn sacrifice or two.
So if you ever see a mysterious “Top Secret” opening on your board, beware: alfwakeupneo might just be plotting your downfall with a sly grin, a well-timed knight fork, and perhaps a coffee in hand.
