Profile: ArielNavon12
Meet ArielNavon12, a chess enthusiast whose rapid play journey is a rollercoaster of passion, perseverance, and occasional puzzlement. Starting off in 2021 with a rapid rating hovering around 998, Ariel quickly realized that the chessboard is a cruel mistress — the rating dipped, wins and losses danced in near unison, and the quest for consistency began.
By 2022, Ariel was a force to be reckoned with, improving rapidly in rapid chess to an average rating above 700 and collecting an impressive 71 wins in 132 games. The 2023 and 2024 seasons showed a bit of a mysterious slide — perhaps the opponents learned their tricks, or maybe Ariel was just too busy plotting grandmaster dreams. But, as every chess player knows, ups and downs are part of the game.
Playing Style & Tactics
Known to occasionally wave the white flag early — with a modest early resignation rate of 17% — ArielNavon12 balances grit with pragmatism. Endgames happen about 39% of the time, with an average game length of roughly 42 moves on winning days, and a few extra moves on losing ones (because who doesn’t like to drag it out?). A fairly balanced performer with the white pieces (winning 46.5% of games) and black (44.5% wins), proving versatility and an eagle eye.
Tactical awareness is Ariel’s secret weapon. Impressively, when losing a piece, Ariel has a 100% win rate after such setbacks — a true testament to resilience and cunning. The comeback rate of almost 50% makes Ariel the kind of player who won't go down without at least a few sneaky traps.
Favorite Openings & Opponents
The King's Pawn Opening reigns supreme in Ariel’s arsenal boasting a near 49% win rate over 47 games – a trusty classic for any battle. The Scandinavian Defense’s Mieses Kotrc Variation shines too, winning half the games played. But some openings, such as the Van t Kruijs Opening, have yet to deliver a single victory — maybe something to work on.
ArielNavon12 has battled many players, with some opponents like masterstranged, trevches, and god_like90 receiving a clean 100% win rate courtesy of Ariel’s clever maneuvers. Other rivalries are less rosy — those tricky shahar_hashoal games resulted in a 33% win rate, proving that even the best have their kryptonite.
