Lawrence Cooper - International Master

Lawrence Cooper, officially crowned an International Master by FIDE, is a chess virtuoso whose rating curve looks as dramatic as a royal gambit. Starting in the modest realms of Blitz ratings around 800 in 2018, they have catapulted their way into the 2300+ zone by 2023 — not to mention a blitz win rate so dazzling it practically blinds the competition.

About the Player

Known for an astonishing comeback rate of 77.5%, Lawrence turns even the direst positions into celebrations, making fans wonder if they play chess or witchcraft. Their endgame frequency of over 66% means you’re never safe in a match—because once the board is mostly clear, the real magic begins.

With a White win rate of 80.55% and Black not far behind at 78.45%, Lawrence doesn't discriminate by color, crushing opponents across the board — and speaking of crushing, their longest winning streak is a jaw-dropping 60 games. Current winning streak? A modest 2 wins… humble, yet still victorious.

Playing Style & Personality

Lawrence’s average game lasts about 60 moves when winning, but expands to about 78 moves in defeat—a testament to their resilience and willingness to fight to the bitter end. Early resignation rate is less than 2%, so giving up? Not in their vocabulary. They might tilt from time to time (an 8 on the tilt factor) but dust off quickly, unlike a fragile chess piece prone to breakdown.

Speed Demon

Whether it’s Blitz or Bullet, Lawrence commands the clock like a maestro. Blitz ratings climbed from 800 in 2018 to a peak stable 2373 in 2023 and beyond. Bullet has its challenges, but max rating at 1953 shows some serious speed chess chops. And let's be honest—handling such time pressure? It takes nerves of steel (or probably a really good coffee).

Secret Arsenal

Mysteriously, all openings played by Lawrence are labeled as Top Secret. What kind of cloak-and-dagger chess strategies are they hiding? Well, with an 81.5% Blitz win rate on these signature openings, it’s safe to say the secret sauce is working wonders.

Favorite Time to Strike

Lawrence’s best time for wrecking foes? Wednesday and Tuesday boast solid 80%+ win rates, while Friday shines brightest at nearly 89%. If you’re facing them at 9 AM or 4 AM? Prepare for a brutal 97% or even 100% win rate respectively, because apparently Lawrence‘s chess brain is sharpest either at dawn or when most of us are dreaming.

Rivalries & Records

Lawrence has obliterated many opponents with flawless 100% win rates against names like "rero2007" and "varun361," but some like “virtuosoops” and “pati_vp” managed to dodge the bullet (or loss). Against the infamous "stockfish," Lawrence’s record is a humbling 0%—even the best can't beat the ultimate machine every time.

In Summary

Lawrence Cooper is a relentless, crafty International Master who combines impressive tactical awareness with a near-superhuman capacity for comebacks. A player capable of maintaining an iron will through marathon games, dazzling opponents with swift strikes in fast formats, and keeping their secret openings under wraps like a grandmaster ninja. Facing Lawrence? Brace yourself. The game is anything but predictable.
