Profile: huntersNan

Meet huntersNan, a chess player whose journey through the 64 squares is nothing short of a rollercoaster ride! With a flair for the unexpected and a tendency to keep opponents guessing, Nan tackles blitz, rapid, and bullet games with a mix of gusto and occasional strategic chaos.

Rating Highlights & Playing Style

• Peak Blitz Rating: 368 (April 2025) — a modest but proud summit reached after many intense battles.
• Peak Rapid Rating: A formidable 651 back in mid-2024, proving that Nan can really turn up the heat when the clock allows a bit more breathing room.
• Bullet Rating: Stuck at 100, which seems fitting for a player who admits to a more tactical than lightning-fast approach.

Even though the win/loss ratio in blitz (113 wins vs. 261 losses) might look a bit intimidating, Nan's resilience shines through with an impressive comeback rate of 64.6% — no fallen piece is a game-ender here! A slight tilt factor of 27% hints at some passionate post-game reflections, but overall, Nan embraces the madness with grace.

Favorite Openings

huntersNan loves variety but has clear preferences:

• Blitz: The Englund Gambit is where Nan boasts the best win rate (~54.5%), clearly enjoying the gambit’s wild and unpredictable nature.
• Rapid: The English Opening (King's English Queen Variation) and the Undefined openings are where Nan shows off tactical flair, boasting over 70% win rates.
• Bullet: Well, bullet games might be a testing ground, but Nan’s portfolio includes quite a few classical patterns, though victories remain elusive here.

Playing Habits & Quirks

Known for an early resignation rate of just under 24%, Nan knows when to cut losses—but also has an average of 31 moves per win, signaling a knack for long, strategic encounters. Interestingly, Nan performs best around 4 PM and shines particularly brightly on Tuesdays.

Notable Matches

Nan's most recent victories prove a clever and patient player:

• Claimed a convincing resignation win using the Queen’s Pawn Opening vs. Ketchup-Coca with a calm d4 d5 start.
• Executed a swift checkmate against juhiiiN in a rapid tactical skirmish, showcasing an opportunistic mindset.
• Outwitted fabriciobalem by capitalizing early with a bold Queen sortie in the King's Pawn Opening.

On the flip side, losses teach Nan humility and fuel the next comeback —like the tough resignation loss to Kasidadi using the Nimzowitsch Defense, proving that even the best hunters stumble.

Summary

Whether triumphing in rare, flashy tactics or learning from humbling defeats, huntersNan embraces the beautiful chaos of chess with open arms and an unyielding spirit. A lover of gambits and surprise attacks, Nan's games are a testament to passion winning over polish — because sometimes, it’s the thrill of the hunt, not just the trophy, that matters most!

Keep an eye on Nan — there’s always another pawn ready to push forward, and maybe, just maybe, an unexpected checkmate in the next move.
