Profile Summary: Lân Trần Ngọc (aka KylinKylin)

Meet Lân Trần Ngọc, a chess virtuoso whose username KylinKylin strikes fear into pawns and kings alike across the digital battlefield. Since bursting onto the scene in 2017, Lân has displayed an impressive evolution—from humble beginnings with a modest rapid rating under 1000, to effortlessly cruising past the 2400 mark in rapid, with peak blitz and bullet ratings soaring near 2650 and 2564 respectively. It's safe to say this player’s strategy is more knockout than knock-knock joke!

With a classical taste for the Queen's Pawn Opening Accelerated London System and a penchant for the tricky Alekhine's Defense Scandinavian Variation, Lân blends solid structure with unexpected curveballs. Whether dashing in blitz or carefully calculating in rapid, the win rates across all formats hover impressively above 70%, showing not only talent but consistency — interspersed with just the right seasoning of tactical fireworks and psychological resilience.

Speaking of resilience, Lân boasts a staggering 85.67% comeback rate, proving time and again that losing a piece doesn’t mean losing the game.

The average moves per win exceed 70, indicating epic battles and dramatic endgames played with style and patience.

Fun fact: Lân's psychological "tilt factor" is a mere 7 out of 100—clearly a zen master under time pressure who peaks in the witching hour around midnight (00:00). So if you see a game flashing with rapid-fire brilliance at odd hours, chances are Lân is behind it.
