aligurgan: The Gambit Gladiator

Meet aligurgan, a chess aficionado whose journey through the 64 squares is a wild rollercoaster of brilliant wins, cheeky openings, and the occasional "oops, blundered again" moment. Preferring the adrenaline rush of Blitz chess, aligurgan thrives under pressure with a peak Blitz rating of 457 as of October 2024, proving that speed can be just as stylish as strategy.

While Bullet chess tells tales of humble beginnings (a max rating of 343 in late 2024, and a recent dip to around 100), aligurgan’s true strength lies in Rapid games where the warrior once soared to a mighty 963 in early 2022. Against the clock but armed with patience, this player can finesse tactics and exploit weaknesses with surgical precision.

Aligurgan’s weapon of choice often includes the Vienna Game Anderssen Defense, boasting a flawless 100% win rate in Blitz, and the Queens Pawn Opening Horwitz Defense, where calculated aggression pays off with a solid 60% win percentage. However, beware if you challenge with the Bishops Opening in Bullet—aligurgan’s nemesis move, holding a mere 18.75% success rate!

Style & Personality

Known for an average game length hovering around 37-38 moves, aligurgan is not one to give up early—yet is not above a cheeky early resignation rate of about 10%, probably saving energy for the next thrilling encounter. The comeback rate is impressively high at nearly 70%, meaning when down a piece or two, this player doesn't just fold but fights back harder.

With a sly tilt factor of 9, aligurgan knows how to keep calm and carry on, especially shining in the witching hour hours around midnight where the win rate surprisingly spikes at 100%. Clearly, this nocturnal ninja finds the board most enchanting when most are asleep.

Recent Triumphs & Tribulations

The most recent recorded battle saw aligurgan clinch a checkmate victory over dandelionbuilt in a fiercely contested game featuring the Vienna Game's Max Lange Defense. Despite some rocky rides—like losses to opponents such as matrix1018—aligurgan’s resilience and adaptability keep the leaderboard guessing.

With a remarkable collection of wins against a long roster of opponents (including perfect records versus dandelionbuilt, tdzkl, and noiretblancfz), aligurgan’s chess stories are peppered with both furious victories and valuable lessons—because every king falls before the final checkmate.

Fun Fact

Aligurgan’s signature move? First capture often comes early, around move 5 on average—because why wait to stir up trouble? And a quick heads up to challengers: single-sided losses are rare, only about 15%, so expect a good scrap!

For those brave enough, watch out for aligurgan's knack for mixing classic openings with wild variations—it's like facing a grandmaster and a wildcard, all in one.

In short: Speedy, sneaky, and surprisingly stubborn—aligurgan turns chess into a fun, tactical dance, proving that even in rapid fire duels, there's room for a good ol’ checkmate surprise.
