Levi Bonanza

Levi Bonanza (aka LeeviB620)

Meet Levi Bonanza, a chess warrior who dances through the battlefield of 64 squares with the flair of a grandmaster-in-training and the humor of a board-game enthusiast who once said, "I don’t always lose, I sometimes learn... mostly lose, though."

Rating & Records

As of mid-2025, Levi's blitz rating peaked just shy of 1000, reaching a lightning-fast 990 in May, with a respectable 930+ rating in rapid chess. With a blitz record hovering around an even split (128 wins to 124 losses), and a rapid game flair boasting 17 wins over just 6 losses, Levi embodies the spirit of relentless battle on the clock.

Playing Style

Levi is known for tactical wizardry, boasting an impressive comeback rate of 80% after losing a piece—because every piece lost is just a chance to surprise the opponent! True survival instincts are tempered with patience; average decisive games last about 54 moves, proving Levi isn’t just rushing to checkmate but savoring the fight.

Also, don’t mention “resignation” around Levi—there’s a 5% early resignation rate, which is surprisingly low for someone who occasionally sacrifices sanity for gambits. Black pieces or white, Levi shines equally with over a 50% win rate on both colors.

Favored Opening Moves & Surprises

Levi loves keeping opponents guessing, often jumping into the Scandinavian Defense (especially the Mieses Kotrc Variation) with an impressive 75% win rate in blitz—proof that Levi has a keen eye for tricky counters. The Nimzowitsch Defense is another weapon in his arsenal with approximately 64% blitz win rate. However, beware the Four Knights Game, where Levi admits to “pondering life choices.”

Peak Moments & Memorable Wins

Highlights include a thrilling victory against g_cvbnb in June 2025, where Levi artfully convinced the opponent to resign in a position that looked tough but elegant. The game showcased Levi's sharp attacking instinct and patient buildup—perhaps aided by a secret stash of extra coffee.

Not everything goes Levi’s way: an epic loss by checkmate from derKruncher was a humbling reminder that even the best have off days. But true to form, Levi is back at the board, ready for revenge (and a pizza break).

Chess Clock & Psychological Profile

The best time of day to challenge Levi? Noon sharp! That’s when the brain cells sync, and the wins start stacking. Beware the tilt factor of 7, which means frustration occasionally shows—but who can blame a fighter who battles through streaks as long as 12 wins and as harsh as 7 losses?

Fun Facts & Trivia

• Known among peers as unpredictable, specializing in openings that cause opponents to quickly rethink their strategy—or just wonder what on earth happened.

Summary
