Meet l_nieto, a daring Rapid chess player known for mixing daring gambits and a sprinkle of early resignations (8.7% of the time, because who needs to prolong the agony?). With a peak Rapid rating of 330 achieved in May 2025, this player dances between thrilling wins and challenging defeats, boasting a respectable 20 wins against 23 losses and 4 draws across 47 intense battles.

Playing Style & Strengths

Not one to fade quietly, l_nieto leans heavily into endgames (almost 66% of games), showing resilience with a comeback rate of 65%. Although the path to victory often stretches to an average of 49 moves per win, losses can drag on even longer, with an average of 65 moves – a true testament to their fighting spirit!

Opening Repertoire Highlights

  • King's Pawn Opening: A favorite playground with an impressive 80% win rate (4 wins out of 5 games). That’s some serious pushing power!
  • Queen's Pawn Opening: Not too shabby with a 40% win rate, keeping things balanced and tricky.
  • King's Pawn Opening King's Knight Variation: The tale of nearly winning more than half, but alas, with a 33% win rate, practice makes perfect.
  • Special shoutout: The quirky Van 't Kruijs Opening with a neat 50% win rate in 2 games — a rarity worth exploring!

Psychological Quirks & Patterns

Like clockwork, the best time to challenge l_nieto is exactly at 17:00, when the winning streak peaks at 100% for that hour. Unfortunately, Mondays and weekends seem to be their kryptonite with a 0% win rate — maybe they’re practicing their victory dances instead.

With an early resignation rate nudging nearly 9% and a tilt factor of 4, l_nieto approaches each game with passion — sometimes paying the price for being a bit too emotionally invested.

Recent Triumphs & Setbacks

The latest victory came in a fierce battle using the Van 't Kruijs Opening, clinching a win by resignation in just 20 moves! But don't be fooled by setbacks — recent losses by checkmate have only fueled the hunger for redemption.
