Profile Summary: Melveen Godefroy (latio24)

Meet Melveen Godefroy, better known in the chess world as latio24, a player who bravely battles the 64 squares with a mix of tactical flair and stubborn grit. Melveen is the kind of player who proves that chess isn’t just about the numbers—though those tell quite a tale!

Rating Rollercoaster

Melveen’s peak ratings were a respectable 1080 in Rapid, 1024 in Blitz, and 673 in Bullet, achieved around 2021. Since then, Melveen has been tirelessly climbing back up, with a recent Blitz rating around 705 and Bullet hovering in the 530s. It’s less “grandmaster glory” and more “steadfast gladiator,” with plenty of games played and lessons learned.

Style and Strategy

Melveen isn’t one to give up early, boasting a low early resignation rate of just 3.65%. With an average game length of about 57 moves before victory, and a similarly persistent 59 moves when the outcome wasn't in their favor, they’re clearly in for the long haul—chess marathons, anyone?

A notable chess psychologist, probably Melveen themselves, determined that their best time to play is at 10 PM sharp—perhaps the perfect time for some late-night brain gymnastics.

Known for a strong comeback rate of 84.36%, Melveen often turns the tables after losing material, showing a fighting spirit reminiscent of a knight on a caffeine boost.

Opening Choices

If you face Melveen as Black or White, expect frequent encounters with classical stalwarts like the Queen’s Pawn Opening (Melveen has an impressive 62.5% win rate here in Bullet games) and the Caro-Kann Defense, which has yielded a surprising 73.33% win rate in Bullet and solid results in Rapid and Blitz. The French Defense also seems to be a favored weapon, boasting a remarkable 80% win rate in Bullet—hat tip to those pesky French strategists!

Recent Triumphs & Tribulations

Melveen recently secured a victory over toftoc, winning decisively on time in a Queen’s Pawn Opening battle. There’s nothing like making your opponent sweat on the clock! However, losses have come too—some on time, some on the board—but in true chess fashion, every loss is just a stepping stone for the next epic comeback.

Win-Loss Snapshot

• Bullet: 176 wins, 148 losses, 2 draws
• Blitz: 89 wins, 70 losses, 14 draws
• Rapid: 93 wins, 83 losses, 4 draws

These stats tell the story of a well-rounded player who refuses to shy away from any time control, embracing every format with a mix of patience and passion.

A Social Chess Warrior

Melveen’s opponent records reveal an interesting pattern—some foes have endured a 100% loss rate against latio24, while others have managed to escape defeat with equal parts luck and skill. Their current streak? A modest but promising two consecutive wins, showing that the battle continues and the best is yet to come.

Fun Fact

Despite having a tilt factor of 10 (which means a few frustrating moments now and then), Melveen’s love for the game shines through. After all, not every hero wears capes; some just play chess till late at night and still come back for more!

In summary, Melveen Godefroy aka latio24 is not just a chess player; they are a persistent strategist, a timing expert, and a chessboard soldier who turns each game into a story worth telling.
