Profile Summary: leejstu14

Meet leejstu14, a player who dances across the 64 squares with a unique blend of grit, guile, and occasional “Wait, what just happened?” moments. Known for an impressive peak rapid rating of 854 (achieved in mid-2023), and a bullet rating pushing up to a blazing 938 in early 2025, leejstu14 has mastered both speed and strategy — often in equal parts chaos and brilliance.

Although the rating graph resembles a rollercoaster at times (hello, 324 to 854 rapid!), the determination to improve is clear. Despite a tilt factor of 19%, our warrior refuses to let bad beats keep them down for long — boasting a resilient comeback rate of nearly 75%. Apparently, losing a piece only makes leejstu14 more tenacious, with a win rate after losing material close to 46%. It’s like the phoenix rising from ashes, but with rooks and pawns.

Playing Style: An aficionado of rapid and bullet chess, leejstu14 prefers the thrill of the fast and furious. Games extend longer when victorious (an average of 59 moves per win) than when they stumble (averaging 45 moves per loss), suggesting every win is a hard-fought saga, while losses might be swift and painful checkmates or blunders. Speaking of endgames, they frequent that phase 55% of the time — either showcasing resilience or simply avoiding quick checkmates!

Their love of openings is a secret wrapped inside mystery: the top openings are “Top Secret,” which might sound like either super-secret theory or just a cheeky way to keep opponents guessing. When venturing out of the shadows, they dabble in fascinating lines like the Scandinavian Defense variations and the Queen’s Pawn opening, showing a quirky yet effective opening repertoire.

The psychological tempo of leejstu14 is no less intriguing. The best time to catch their sharpest moves? Around 6 AM — so setting an early alarm (or a coffee IV) might be the key. Also, their wins and losses are surprisingly time-dependent, with peak performance noted in early morning hours and occasional lethargy creeping in later on.

On the battlefield of win/loss/draw, leejstu14 holds a near-perfect edge in bullet games with over 3000 wins — clearly a bullet blitzer extraordinaire willing to test nerves and reflexes under terrifying time constraints. Rapid and blitz results hover around a respectable 45-48% win rate, showing that speed doesn’t always guarantee victory, but it sure makes for entertaining chess!

Their recent games are a testament to classic French Defense mastery and tactical prowess, often winning on time — proving that sometimes, the clock is as fierce an opponent as any queen.

To sum it up, leejstu14 is a passionate and persistent chess player whose journey reflects the ups and downs all of us feel — with a big dash of speed chess excitement and a never-give-up attitude. Whether they’re outpacing you in bullet or strategizing deep in rapid, one thing’s certain: leejstu14 is here for the thrill, the challenge, and to keep their opponents on their toes!

Hi leejstu14! 👋

Great job keeping an active schedule and already reaching 938 (2025-03-22) in bullet games. Your recent score-sheet shows both fighting spirit and plenty of tactical fireworks.

What you’re doing well ✅

  • Piece activity: You rarely leave your pieces sleeping. In your win against stevea2z you steered both knights deep into the enemy camp and won material.
  • Tactical awareness: Forks and skewers are part of your arsenal—e.g. 23.Nc5! in the same game hit both rook and pawn.
  • Killer instinct in time scrambles: Many victories come from keeping the pressure until your opponent’s flag falls.

Main improvement themes 🛠️

  1. Early king safety
    In multiple losses (e.g. vs littl3bono and butsbr) your king stayed in the centre while the h- and g-pawns marched. Castle before opening side pawns. Ask yourself each move: “Is it safe to delay castling one more turn?”
  2. Simpler openings
    Many games start 1.d4 c3 or 1.e4 c3. These moves concede the centre and slow development. Try:
    • As White: 1.e4 followed by 2.Nf3 3.Bc4 (Italian) or 1.d4 2.Nf3 3.Bf4 (London System).
    • As Black versus 1.e4: the Scandinavian is fine, but play 3…Qa5 instead of 3…Qxd5–Qd8 to keep the queen active and avoid loss of tempo.
    Study the first six moves only; you don’t need deep theory.
  3. End-game technique
    Against Spooky130 you needed 30+ moves to convert a won rook end-game. Learn the “box” method for rook + king vs king and practise basic mates for speed.

Concrete drills for the next week 📅

  • Play 5 | 3 rapid games every day to slow down and think.
  • Solve 15 tactics focusing on double attack and back-rank patterns.
  • Run the “Mate in 2” trainer until you can solve 20 in a row under three minutes.
  • Review each game quickly: write one sentence on why you won or lost.

Mini-lesson: fixing an opening issue

Here’s a cleaned-up version of the first moves from your loss to littl3bono with a safer plan:


Your pieces are out, the king is castled, and you still have a solid pawn centre.
