Meet Carlos_Uriel_LZ, a dedicated chess enthusiast whose daily grind on the 64 squares is equal parts battle, strategy, and occasional comedy.

Rating Journey & Style

Uriel dazzles most in Daily chess with a peak rating of 527 as of May 2025 – quite the respectable monarch of long, thoughtful games where patience truly wins the day. Rapid mode offers a rollercoaster ride: maxing out at 298 but occasionally dipping to unexpected depths. Bullet and Blitz reveal... well, let’s say speed isn’t the strongest suit (257 peak bullet but a modest blitz at 100).

With an average game length of about 50 moves, Uriel’s style is like a good novel—you might not finish in one sitting, but the endgame payoff can be worth it. They have a knack for comebacks too, with an impressive 65% comeback rate, proving that giving up is simply not in the lexicon.

Opening Repertoire

Opening choices are eclectic and adventurous. Uriel adores the King's Pawn Opening and its Kings Knight Variation, alongside a notable flirtation with the Grob Opening—yes, that cheeky flank pawn thrust which many avoid but Uriel embraces with a solid 58% win rate. Though the Van Geet Opening Reversed Nimzowitsch Variation seems to be a “work in progress” with a low success rate, the stubborn spirit keeps trying!

Competitive Record & Memorable Matches

Battle-tested with over 200 rapid games and a mix of bullet and daily battles, the win-loss record tells tales of gritty fights on all fronts:

• Rapid: 104 wins vs 109 losses
• Bullet: 29 wins vs 49 losses
• Daily: 6 wins vs 8 losses

Most recent triumphs include clever victories such as the game against michaeloloo where Uriel’s King's Pawn Opening led to a swift ascendancy and eventual game abandonment victory.
