Chess Biography of arbnorni

Meet arbnorni, a chess enthusiast whose journey on the 64 squares resembles a thrilling rollercoaster — full of sharp turns, unexpected dips, and occasional rocket launches. With a peak rapid rating of 1423 achieved back in September 2022, arbnorni soared to respectable heights early on, but the climb has had its bumps, reflecting the true grit of an evolving player striving to master the royal game.

Tactical alertness is definitely one of arbnorni's strong suits: boasting a comeback rate of over 71%, this player knows how to turn setbacks into exciting victories. However, with a tilt factor around 8, emotional swings happen — because who doesn’t get a little flustered when pieces fly off the board unexpectedly? Despite that, arbnorni's battles are generally long and thoughtful, averaging almost 53 moves per win, showing endurance and strategic patience.

Whether wielding the white or black pieces, arbnorni keeps the odds fairly balanced, with a white win rate of about 45% and black win rate close behind at 44%. Early resignations are rare — under 6% — meaning arbnorni is not one to quit without a fight, even when the chips are down.

Opening Repertoire - The Secret Sauce

The mystery surrounds the Top Secret opening, played a whopping 165 times in rapid games with a win rate hovering just under 42% — clearly an enigma wrapped in a puzzle! Other favored openings include the Van t Kruijs Opening with a solid 56% success rate, and the Owens Defense, boasting a perfect 100% win record in rapid play (albeit from just three games—don’t let the sample size fool you!).

In blitz, arbnorni’s preferred moves echo similar tastes: the Top Secret remains a staple, with steady play, and the Owens Defense again shines with an impressive 67% win rate. Clearly, arbnorni likes keeping opponents guessing with less conventional strategies.
