Profile Summary: lbouler

Meet lbouler, the enigmatic rapid chess enthusiast whose journey has been as variable as a chess clock running low on time! With a peak rapid rating soaring to 802 in December 2024, lbouler once danced triumphantly atop the rapid leaderboard. Though recent months have brought more ups and downs than a tricky gambit, this player’s resilience is the stuff of legend.

Known for tactical flair, lbouler boasts an impressive comeback rate of nearly 60% and doesn’t shy away from complex endgames, engaging in them in roughly 65% of games. While the average game length stretches comfortably past 60 moves, patience is clearly a virtue here.

The Kings Pawn Opening and its Leonardis Variation appear to be favorite hunting grounds, with win rates hovering around 40-50%. But let’s not underestimate lbouler’s fondness for the Nimzowitsch Larsen Attack — especially the classical and modern variations where win rates jump above 65%, signaling some serious opening prep or a secret weapon.

Blitz and bullet formats might not be lbouler’s domain of mastery – with peak ratings of 341 and 162 respectively – but hey, even kings need to rest. Rapid remains the battlefield of choice, which suits this thoughtful strategist quite well.

Psychologically speaking, lbouler prefers night owl hours for peak performance — 22:00 is prime time for clutch victories. A tilt factor of 7 hints at some occasional frustration, but hey, who hasn’t snapped a piece here and there? Notably, resignation victories outnumber checkmates by a landslide, proving our champ knows when to cut losses and plot the next assault.

Recent Highlights

• Latest triumph: claiming victory on time against franco2996 in a hard-fought Italian Game, showcasing endurance and nerves of steel.
  
• A tactical masterpiece in the Richter-Veresov Attack, securing a win by game abandonment against yazidd321, proving some opponents just can’t keep up.

Style & Habits

Often decisive and thorough, lbouler tends to win by smart resignation rather than flashy checkmates—perhaps a sign of humble wisdom or a practical mindset. Prefers to open with 1.e4 but happily mixes in d4 and a smattering of quirky first moves like a3 and d3 — keeping opponents guessing from the outset.

With a near 50% win rate playing White and a slightly more modest 42% as Black, lbouler embraces both sides of the board with equal passion and pluck. And watch out for those endgames—they might last a while, but this player knows how to squeeze every drop of advantage.

Fun Fact

Longest winning streak: 8 games, proving that when lbouler’s in the zone, it’s almost game over for adversaries. On the flip side, a stubborn 7-game losing streak reminds us that even grandmasters-in-the-making have their “Monday blues.”
