Recent Battles

Marin’s latest triumph took place on May 28, 2025, where playing black under the username KROKROPP92, he masterfully forced finnser27 to resign after a brisk battle in the Queen's Pawn Chigorin Variation. It seems Marin enjoys making his opponents give up before the coffee even kicks in.

As for his latest defeat, the game on June 4, 2025, was less kind. Facing srgiorosito, Marin was checkmated after a tough tussle involving the Ponziani Opening. But hey, every defeat plants the seeds of a glorious comeback!

Personality in Moves

Marin is no stranger to strategic depth and complexity, averaging around 48–52 moves per game, which tells us he’s not here just for a quick slugfest—he's shaping battles that feel like epic sagas. He occasionally resigns early (around 8.5% of games), proving that sometimes even he knows when to pick his battles or just grab a snack instead.

In the timeless chess duel of white vs. black, Marin tends to perform better with the white pieces, holding a ~47% win rate, but his opponents beware when he’s playing black—his tactical awareness and resilience shine brightest in those games.

Opponent Highlights

Marin’s rivalry with players like finnser27 (whom he beat recently) and others reflect a colorful battlefield. While some opponents have given him a tough time (looking at you, srgiorosito), many have tasted defeat at his hands, which means Marin’s on a quest to conquer the chess world, one awkward loss after another.

Final Thought

Marin Le Beuve might not be the highest-rated player on the planet, but his passion, resilience, and a dash of early-morning madness make him a character to watch. Whether he’s outwitting you with a Sicilian dagger or cautiously crafting a positional masterpiece, one thing’s certain: when KROKROPP92 sits down to play, the game is always more interesting.
