Meet aurelegr, a steadfast and steadily improving chess player whose journey through the ranks is as dynamic as a Queen's gambit.

Playing Style and Strengths
Aurelegr shows a knack for the Early Resignation defense with just under 8% of games resigned early — chalk that up to a mix of humility or maybe a dash of pragmatism. With over 57% endgame frequency, their games don’t just fly by; they see the battlefield till the bitter sweet end, typically wrapping victories in an average 61 moves.
White pieces have been slightly kinder, delivering a win rate over 54%, while black pieces hold steady near 47%. Despite occasional tilt (a manageable score of 10), aurelegr's resilience shines. Ever heard of a 100% win rate after losing a piece? Neither had we — until now. This comeback ace turns blunders into dazzling victories with a nearly 77% comeback rate.
Opening Repertoire
When it comes to openings, aurelegr leans heavily on the Queens Pawn Opening – especially the Accelerated London System – with a crowd-pleasing 61% win rate in rapid games. The Caro-Kann Defense also features prominently as a secret weapon, boasting an impressive 65% win rate. Scandinavian Defense fans beware though — the Mieses-Kotrc variation isn’t exactly aurelegr’s favorite, ringing victories only 31% of the time.

Across all time controls, aurelegr’s win-loss-draw record is solid: 460-381-66 in rapid, 598-534-41 in blitz, and 266-229-24 in bullet. This resilience defines a player who’s both battle-hardened and eager for the next opponent.
