Stéphanie Le Roy (aka "briskaslr")

Meet Stéphanie Le Roy, a tenacious chess player whose journey is as dynamic as a knight’s unpredictable jump. With a peak rapid rating of 657 (reached in late 2020) and a daily rating cresting at an impressive 930 in early 2021, Stéphanie proves that dedication and grit are the real kings and queens on the board.

Over the years, Stéphanie has battled through hundreds of rapid games, showing a win rate that swings between fierce determination and strategic patience. Notably skillful in the Queens Pawn Opening Chigorin Variation, boasting an 83.33% win rate, Stéphanie clearly knows how to rattle opponents with this less-common yet sharp approach.

Starting with rapid ratings hovering in the 570s in 2020, Stéphanie’s path hasn’t been a smooth chessboard – it’s had ups, downs, and sideways knights moves. But this player keeps climbing, even earning a classic longest winning streak of 9 games and enduring a humbling longest losing streak of 17. Because in chess, as in life, sometimes you castle into trouble before delivering the checkmate punch.

Known for a calm demeanor, Stéphanie’s “tilt factor” is a modest 17 – meaning even when the pawns go sideways, the composure remains intact. And if you ever wonder when to challenge Stéphanie, best do it around midnight (UTC), where her win rate reaches a stellar 100%. Dark side advantage? Possibly.

Stéphanie’s style? Patient and persistent. With an average of about 47 moves per win and a slightly higher 53 moves per loss, this player enjoys the long strategic battles, weaving through middlegame complexities and endgame mazes. And the impressive 63% comeback rate proves that giving up is not in this chess warrior’s vocabulary.

Whether it’s a rapid game, daily match, or a blitz skirmish, Stéphanie battles with a warrior’s heart and a strategist’s mind. Recent victories include a mighty triumph by resignation against Ebrahim00pl, showcasing tactical prowess in the French Defense Knight Variation. Yet no journey is without setbacks: recent losses remind us that even chess heroes have their challenging days!

With a penchant for openings like the Scotch Game and King’s Pawn variations, plus a curiosity for experimental lines, Stéphanie Le Roy embraces the full spectrum of chess adventures.

In a nutshell: Stéphanie is the chess player you root for – unpredictable, passionate, and ever willing to dive back in for the next game. Watch out, chessboard – briskaslr is on the rise, and every move is a story waiting to be told!
