Vincent M. - The Gambit Whisperer aka Le_Vinzz
Vincent M., known in the chess world by his daring moniker Le_Vinzz, is a warrior of the 64 squares whose journey resembles a rollercoaster more than a steady climb. From bullet to daily chess, he’s seen it all, survived the tactics, and lived to tell the tale – sometimes with a checkmate, sometimes with a heroic time loss.
Career Highlights & Style
- Peak Ratings:
- Blitz: A fiery 928 back in 2021, showing early flashes of brilliance.
- Rapid: Climbed as high as 663 in early 2024, proving he's no one-trick pony.
- Daily: Reached a calm but impressive 860, showing patience pays off.
- Bullet: Once soared to 608 but has since embraced the grind of the format.
- Playing Style: With an average of roughly 44 moves per win and slightly more in losses, Vincent knows the power of endurance. His win rates with White and Black pieces hover evenly around 47%, emphasizing versatility.
- Opening Favorites:
- King's Pawn and Queen's Pawn Openings are his bread and butter, boasting over 50% win rates in Bullet and Rapid formats.
- He also has a cheeky penchant for the French Defense and Alekhine's Defense, where his Blitz win rates climb above 60%, proving he’s not afraid to tango with less common territory.
- Beware opponents facing his Scotch Game though – he’s yet to savor a win there. Perhaps it’s just a teasing target.
The Numbers Game
With over 500 recorded bullet games, Vincent's win-loss record of 136-185 paints the picture of a fearless gladiator who prefers taking risks rather than playing safe. In Blitz and Rapid, he maintains a balanced tension between wins and losses, with occasional winning streaks of up to 11 games that could make even grandmasters do a double-take.
His comeback rate is a juicy 58.57%, so never count him out – Vincent thrives on turning the tides after a setback, even if he's not the master of mystical comebacks all the time (38.44% win rate after losing a piece).
Psychology & Quirks
Vincent's tilt factor sits modestly at 9, suggesting he keeps his cool—mostly. Interestingly, his absolute sweet spot for crushing opponents is the early morning hour of 4:00 AM. So if you see him online then, prepare for a chess session worthy of caffeine-fueled brilliance.
Recent Battles
His latest victory was a whirlwind time win over voljki in a French Defense duel, where patience and precision forced a tilt in Vincent’s favor as the clock ran out. However, not all days end in glory, as recent losses by checkmate highlight the brutal beauty of chess where even the boldest can stumble.
