Lars Meyer - FIDE Master Extraordinaire
Lars Meyer, proudly holding the distinguished title of FIDE Master, is a formidable chess battler who has spent countless hours outwitting opponents across every imaginable time control. From bullet’s frantic blitzkrieg to the leisurely ponderings of daily chess, Lars’s passion for the game is as relentless as their winning streaks (a personal best of 15 wins and currently flexing a streak of 2).
Known in the chess realms for an impressive Blitz peak rating soaring over 2400 and a bullet peak flirting with the 2200 mark, Lars Meyer is not just a player but a tactical maestro with a 100% win rate after losing a piece — talk about turning adversity into triumph! Their style is endgame savvy, appearing in over 81% of their games, clearly preferring the sweet symphony of calculated endgame maneuvers over quick skirmishes.
With an average of around 70+ moves per game, both wins and losses tell stories of deep battles played with patience and grit. Lars is a strategist who values the long road, and even their early resignation rate is a humble 19% — because sometimes backing off gracefully is just as smart as pressing on.
A chess chameleon, Lars adapts well across formats; boasting a white win rate of 54.67% and black win rate of 51.07%, they prove that color is just a minor inconvenience. Their daily chess rating peaked near the 2400 mark, showing off an ability to crush opponents even with days of contemplation, while blitz and bullet annotations reveal a fearless competitor who takes calculated risks at lightning speed.
Off the board, Lars's psychological resilience shines with a Comeback Rate exceeding 88%, a warrior’s heart beating strong and refusing to bow. However, their tilt factor at 11 hints at the occasional sigh or grumble when the chess gods are less kind — perfectly normal for someone who cares so deeply about the game.
When not busy chasing checkmates or grinding ladder points, Lars contends with a colorful roster of opponents — some barely surviving the onslaught, others giving a worthy fight. With famous foes ranging from “chbrother” (100% win rate against!) to “mast3rjay” (who’s kept the score at a stubborn 0%), every match adds to the rich tapestry of their chess journey.
In short, Lars Meyer’s chess adventure isn’t just about ratings and titles; it’s about passion, perseverance, and a knack for turning the board into a battlefield where brilliance and humor collide. A modern-day chess gladiator and a true FIDE Master in every sense.
