Profile Summary: ilovelucid
Meet ilovelucid — a spirited chess warrior with a rating rollercoaster that would make even seasoned pros raise an eyebrow. As of 2025, this player has duked it out across every time control imaginable: from lightning-fast Bullet battles (peak rating 335!) to the more ponderous arenas of Daily games, where lucidity shone brightest with a dazzling peak rating of 946.
ilovelucid is no shrinking violet, boasting a respectable comeback rate of nearly 74% — which means when pieces go missing, this player’s fire only burns hotter. Although the win rates can be a bit of a seesaw (hello, 7-game winning and losing streaks), the tenacity displayed is undeniable. The game stats reveal a player who’s equally comfortable plotting slow endgames (played in 44% of games) as they are launching swift opening gambits.
Notoriously, ilovelucid favors the Nimzowitsch Defense and the Reti Opening, especially in Bullet and Blitz games, rocking win rates upwards of 60% in some openings. Yet, not every variation is a crowning glory: the Reti Opening Slav Invitation remains a nemesis, with a win rate sitting stubbornly at zero — because even the best players have their kryptonite!
A veteran of nearly 300 Blitz and Bullet games combined in just a few months, this player often fights fiercely against common foes like roytoy12 and bakedbbbeans. The win against n8-8n in June 2025 was a tour de force, showcasing slick positional play and a knack for capitalizing on opponent mistakes until the final resignation — a chess symphony lasting about 56 moves.
When asked about their secret weapon, ilovelucid might just say: "Playing best around 10 PM, avoiding early resignations at all cost"—early resignation rate is a low 3.7%, proving patience is their virtue. Just don’t challenge them at 2 AM; the win rate drops sharply then, suggesting that sleep might play a tactical role too.
Off the board, ilovelucid is a study in contradictions: a blend of grit and humor, with a tilt factor of 7 (because even grandmasters have their bad hair days). Yet, the overall style is one of steady learning and perseverance, always ready to bounce back and clutch the next victory.
So if you ever find yourself matched against ilovelucid, prepare for a tactical dance filled with bold openings, strategic novelties, and the occasional witty checkmate smile.
