Chess Style & Performance
Although Luis’ rating might suggest he's still on his grandmaster journey (or just a grandmaster of losing quickly), his playing style is full of personality. He’s got an early resignation rate of ~11%—because sometimes knowing when to quit is a skill in itself—and a comeback rate near 72%, proving he's no stranger to thrilling reversals and stubborn resistance. Average moves per win hover just shy of 48, showing that when Luis wins, he’s not afraid to grind it out.
Favorite Openings
- Vienna Game: His sweet spot with a solid ~65% win rate in rapid games.
- Van't Kruijs Opening: Luis seems to wield his pieces here with gusto, boasting a 62.5% win rate.
- Scotch Game and Englund Gambit: Both favorite battlegrounds where his win rates hover nicely above 55%, proving he's not afraid to mix tactical flair with strategic thinking.
Less successful? The Three Knights Opening has been a real pain point, with a win rate closer to 27%. Guess that's one to study more!
Competitive Record & Opponents
In over 300 rapid games, Luis has a near-even win-loss record with 135 wins, 149 losses, and 16 draws—because even a fierce warrior like kkkchii knows that the battlefield is unpredictable. His longest winning and losing streaks both stand at 6 games each, illustrating the true rollercoaster of competitive chess.
He’s battled many opponents but holds a special knack for confounding some players entirely, boasting 100% win rates against numerous foes—clearly, he has his favorite victims on the leaderboard. Conversely, some opponents have proven trickier, making Luis' matches always thrilling and full of tension.
Psychology & Play Timing
Not just a chess tactician, Luis also carefully picks his hours to play. His best time of day? Surprisingly, 5 AM—perfect for early birds or insomniacs plotting their next big tactical strike. He enjoys playing on Saturdays, where he triumphs an impressive 63% of the time, while Sundays seem to be his "rest day" with just 20% win rate.
He's got a mild tilt factor of 6, meaning even when the dragons roar and pawns fall, Luis maintains his cool more often than not.
