Peter Løgk - The Dancing Monkey of the Chessboard

Meet Peter Løgk, known in the chess realms as Dancing_Monkey, a rapid chess enthusiast who prefers swift, strategic brawls rather than slow draws. With a peak rapid rating soaring to an impressive 357 in May 2025 and a daily peak of 400, Peter proves he's no mere monkey wrench in the game – he's a finely tuned tactical machine!

Chess Journey & Style

Peter’s rapid chess saga is a rollercoaster of epic battles: 246 wins and an equal number of losses in rapid games, sprinkled with a humble 31 draws. His preferred weapon of choice? The Nimzowitsch Defense, where he boasts a smashing win rate of 63.64%, and the Englund Gambit - because who doesn't love a cheeky gambit to keep opponents on their toes?

Known for his patience and resilience, Peter doesn’t shy from long fights—his average moves per win clock in at nearly 54 moves, showing both endurance and meticulous planning. Notably, he resigns early only about 13.25% of the time - clearly preferring to fight until the very last pawn is sacrificed.

Psychology & Tactics

With a comeback rate of 64.63%, Peter is the proverbial phoenix rising from the ashes; even if a piece is lost, his win rate after such adversity stands at a respectable 38.41%. However, beware his tilt factor of 6 – let’s just say losing streaks can ruffle his feathers slightly. His best time to launch chess assaults? The magical hour of 22:00, where his win rate skyrockets to a perfect 100%.

Memorable Games

His recent victories have been nothing short of dramatic. In one game against ora_45600, Peter executed a sharp Modern Defense, culminating in a resignation after a fierce tactical battle. Just the other day, he delivered a checkmate to smerjan in a Kings Pawn Opening that would make even grandmasters nod in approval.

The Monkey’s Motto

"If at first you don’t succeed, try the Nimzowitsch Defense." Whether it’s a nervous first move or a cunning endgame, Peter’s playful and resilient approach to chess—coupled with a sharp eye for openings like the Englund Gambit—makes every game an entertaining dance.
