Profile of Laurent2104: The Chess Dynamo with a Dash of Flair

Meet Laurent2104, a fiercely competitive chess enthusiast whose games are anything but boring. With a passion for rapid and blitz formats, Laurent’s journey through the 2020s has been a rollercoaster of bold moves and tactical fireworks, peppered with just the right amount of chess drama.

Rating Highlights & Playing Style

Laurent’s peak rapid rating soared to a mighty 597 in March 2025, while blitz games saw him strike a peak rating of 537 in April of the same year. An aficionado of the Early Resignation (just 5.84%) who isn't afraid to dive deep into the endgame abyss, Laurent’s matches often stretch to a hearty 54 moves per win on average, showing patience and resilience.

But beware: his tilt factor clocks in at 7 — just enough to remind us that even grandmasters are human. A true night owl, Laurent’s best chess moments come at 11 PM, when the rest of us are barely resisting naps.

Signature Openings & Tactical Flair

Opening with confidence across a broad repertoire, Laurent particularly shines with the Four Knights Game Italian Variation in blitz, boasting a perfect 100% win rate there. His rapid exploits include a love affair with the Queen’s Pawn Opening and an impressive 86% win rate with the French Defense Normal Variation that leaves opponents scratching their heads.

With an impressive comeback rate of 75%, Laurent is not just about setting traps but escaping them too. His knack for clawing victories out even after losing a piece (48% win rate post-piece loss) reveals a dogged determination that strikes fear into weekend warriors and seasoned competitors alike.

Memorable Battles and Quirky Stats

Laurent has faced a vibrant crowd online, enjoying a 100% win rate against players like mturner1984 and bade8we, while valiantly wrestling with a few tougher rivals such as yazaxn and zandertx who managed to spoil the party. If chess were a sitcom, these would be the recurring nemeses causing both frustration and fuel for growth.

One of Laurent’s recent victories came from a masterful blitz encounter using the Four Knights Game Italian Variation, where he clinched the win on time after a tense 27-move duel — a true testament to his strategic endurance and clock management!
