Profile Summary: laurrss
Meet laurrss, a spirited chess player whose journey on the 64 squares is as colorful as it is challenging. With a peak Rapid rating just shy of 500 and a Blitz peak soaring to 743, laurrss proves that every game is a fresh slate — although the scoreboard occasionally tells a tale of Tuesday mornings meeting Monday blues.
Known for bold and occasionally unconventional choices, laurrss enjoys dabbling in openings as eclectic as the Englund Gambit — which surprisingly brought them their last big victory by resignation — and the King’s Pawn Opening Leonardis Variation. They also famously flirt with risk, showing a fondness for gambits and defenses that many would label "ambitious" (or "wild," depending on whom you ask).
Despite a somewhat rocky win-loss record (let’s just say the losses tend to stack up faster than wins), laurrss displays a commendable fighting spirit with an impressive comeback rate of 80%. Never one to fold early, they average over 63 moves per win, proving endurance can sometimes outlast raw tactical precision.
Their psychological resilience is tested by a modest tilt factor of 8, meaning frustration makes occasional cameo appearances, but the player bounces back quickly — especially when playing in the magic hour around 6 PM, their top performance time of day. Favorites among their opponents range from the ever-tricky "72hitman72" (who holds a 7% win rate against them) to "darknessdaking," against whom laurrss boasts a perfect 100% win record.
When it comes to style, laurrss isn’t afraid to wrap up a game with early resignations on the opponent’s side — having won at least once thanks to it — and they have a penchant for grinding out positions until the bitter end, reaching endgames in over half of their matches. The mix of wins on timeouts and losses by checkmate shows a player who battles both the clock and the tactics with a passionate if sometimes perilous approach.
All in all, laurrss is the type of player who brings charm and unpredictability to the board. Whether you face them as white or black, expect a rollercoaster fight peppered with clever gambits, heroic comebacks, and the kind of moves that might make you smile... or sigh.
Game on, laurrss! The chess world loves a good underdog story.
