Łukasz

Łukasz (aka Euromumin)

Łukasz, better known online as Euromumin, is a spirited rapid chess player whose journey through the 64 squares has been nothing short of a rollercoaster ride. Starting with a humble rating of around 460 in late 2020, Łukasz quickly climbed the ranks, reaching an impressive peak rating of 999 in April 2025. A near-millennium! Some say the chessboard shakes when he’s on a winning streak, which hit a high of 11 consecutive victories—clearly, a force to reckon with when in the zone.

With over 1,000 rapid games under his belt and a balanced but gritty record (527 wins, 474 losses, and 34 draws), Łukasz knows how to keep his opponents on their toes. He’s no stranger to comebacks either, boasting a striking 67% comeback rate after losing a piece—never count him out until the king is safely tucked away.

A fan of the Queen’s Pawn Opening and the enigmatic Sicilian Defense, Łukasz’s opening repertoire reflects both aggression and a strategic mind. While the Sicilian Defense has been a mixed bag with a win rate around 43%, his strongest weapon might just be the Queen’s Gambit Accepted Central Variation Modern Defense, where he shines with almost 59% wins—a true gambit guru in action.

When it comes to time of day, Łukasz truly excels in the wee hours—1 AM is his magical moment, where the caffeine kicks in and the moves flow with precision. Oddly enough, his win rate dips a bit on Wednesdays and late mornings, so perhaps some extra morning coffee wouldn’t hurt.

Known for averaging 54 moves per win, his games are a marathon, not a sprint—patient, calculated, and sometimes sprinkled with a touch of flair (or a desperate last-minute tactic). Though he can suffer from the occasional tilt (the tilt factor is a modest 10), his psychological resilience shows through in his balanced record of wins after setbacks.

Łukasz’s recent victories have been fought on Chess.com, with his latest notable win against “tgdukki2” featuring a powerful push in the Queen’s Pawn Opening Mikenas Defense—he forced a resignation with a neat tactical finish after a hard-fought battle. His games are full of creative maneuvering and not afraid to venture into sharp lines.

In defeat, Łukasz remains humble and analytical, often facing losses against tricky openings like the Indian Game, showing there’s always room to learn and grow—even grandmasters stumble, but only Łukasz bounces back faster than a knight’s jump.

Łukasz is a passionate rapid player, a dedicated strategist, and an unstoppable competitor who tackles the game with a unique blend of humor and heart. Keep an eye on Euromumin—there’s always another surprise move waiting just around the corner!
