Angel Luna - The Tenacious Tactician

Meet Angel Luna, known in the chess world by the enigmatic username angel_ezp. This player’s journey is something of a rollercoaster—if rollercoasters included spectacular comebacks, occasional faceplants, and a flair for dramatic checkmates!

Rating & Progress

Starting modestly with a rapid rating in the 700s and a blitz hovering near 600 in 2022, Angel has steadily climbed the ranks. The peak rapid rating soared to an impressive 1135 in April 2025, proving that slow and steady isn't just a cliché here; it's a tactic.

Angel’s blitz and bullet games have seen flashes of brilliance, with a blitz peak of 985 and a bullet high of 1018 back in late 2022, showing speed doesn’t scare this player. The daily rating peaked just shy of 980, giving us proof that long-term strategizing is also in the skillset.

Playing Style & Psychological Traits

Angel is the kind of player who doesn’t quit easily — boasting a comeback rate of over 77%! Whether losing a piece or nearly losing a game, Angel keeps fighting with grit. The tilt factor is a moderate 10, so occasional frustration is expected, but the enduring spirit shines through.

Notably, Angel’s best time to play is at the mysterious hour of 11 PM, when the stars align and the checkmates come faster. Early resignations are rare (under 2%), demonstrating a fighter’s heart that battles till the final move.

Opening Repertoire: The Secret Sauce

Angel favors the Queen’s Pawn Opening Accelerated London System in rapid games, with an impressive 64% win rate in 50 games. The trusty Top Secret opening (which may or may not be a code name for “winging it”) holds a respectable 53% win rate, adding to the element of surprise.

Speed chess sees Angel skewing toward Scandinavian Defense and French Defense variations, with win rates in the 60-75% range. The flexible approach means opponents never quite know what's coming—and sometimes they never know what hit them.

Memorable Moments

Angel’s recent games offer a glimpse into the battle-hardening journey—from a brilliant checkmate victory over Teko_1 featuring a final Re8# to snarling endgames that decide with resignation or time pressure against tough opponents.

Angel has demonstrated an adventurous spirit, taking on all comers with varied openings, adapting midgame, and bravely enduring losses—because every defeat is just a plot twist before the next win.
