Latics73 doesn’t give up easily, with an impressive Endgame Frequency of 75.81% and an average of 75 moves per win — proving patience is more than a virtue; it’s a strategy. An early resignation rate of just 0.61% means our player doesn’t quit in the face of adversity, yet a tilt factor of 15 suggests emotional moments are not in short supply—every loss is felt but never defeats the spirit for too long.

Memorable Moments

Recent games showcase classic tactical battles: a victorious grind against Cyrilou05 with a precise time-slowed win, and a rapid resignation from Alienchess78 after launching a pressing English Opening. Though not all battles end in glory—some fierce checkmates at the hands of StijnDonk highlight there's always room for improvement (and a dash of humility).

Whether it’s bullet, blitz, rapid, or daily chess, this player’s journey is one of steady growth, learning, and relentless chess hustle. Grip your pieces tight — Latics73 is always ready for the next fight on the 64 squares!
