Profile Summary: enonloso
Meet enonloso, a rapid chess adventurer conquering the 64 squares one cautious step at a time. With a peak rapid rating of 1286 achieved in early 2023, enonloso's journey has been a rollercoaster of strategic blunders, brilliant comebacks, and the occasional "oops, I resigned too soon" moments. Rapid chess is the name of the game here – having played thousands of rapid games, they’ve experienced just about every outcome imaginable, with a nearly even split between wins and losses and a few draws sneaking in for good measure.
Known for a love of the Van ’t Kruijs Opening and a respectable 48% win rate there, enonloso also wields the French Defense like a seasoned warrior, showing special affinity for the Normal Variation and the King's Indian Attack sub-variations. Despite a somewhat modest blitz and bullet rating, rapid is where the heart beats fastest.
Play style? Expect some early resignations (about 9% of games), but don’t mistake that for giving up—this player is in it for the long haul, embracing endgames in almost 40% of their matches. Games tend to average about 43 moves when they win and stretch nearly to 48 moves when the opponent claims victory, perhaps indicating a dogged, fighting spirit unwilling to yield easily.
Notorious for a tilt factor of 13 (because who doesn’t get a little salty after blundering a queen?), enonloso shines brightest in the wee hours—specifically around 2 AM—where the win rate amusingly jumps to over 66%, probably fueled by coffee, snacks, and the mysterious power of moonlight.
In the grand scheme, they handle pressure well, making strong comebacks 35% of the time, even if losing a piece puts a dent in their winning chances. Their psychological resilience is admirable, but watch out for those long losing streaks—their personal record includes a 13-game skid, balanced by an impressive 14-game winning streak that would make even Magnus nod in respect.
Recent Highlights:
- Latest victory by resignation, employing an aggressive Queen sortie with the Van ’t Kruijs Opening—checkmate or bust!
- Facing off against various opponents recently with mixed fortunes, including some nail-biting games ending in resignation or checkmate.
- Not afraid to experiment and sometimes sacrificing pieces for that unpredictable flair.
Whether battling opponents or their own nerves, enonloso exemplifies the spirit of a passionate chess player: learning, adapting, and most importantly, having fun—even if it means occasionally waving the white flag a tad early.
"Chess is 99% tactics and 1% luck... and I'm still working on that 1%."
