If chess ratings were mood swings, lelio_937 would be a master of emotional chess.

Starting games primarily with 1.e4, this player has a soft spot for the Leonardis Variation of the King's Pawn Opening, showing a balanced win rate at a cool 53%. Although the Three Knights Opening is less charming—boasting a humble 12.5% win rate—lelio_937 doesn’t shy away from challenging lines, whether it's the Philidor Defense or the somewhat quirky Van 't Kruijs Opening.

Rapid is the preferred battlefield, with over 300 games played recently. Blitz and Bullet have been sampled too, but only just—perhaps a testament to his love for pondering moves over a cup of coffee rather than lightning-fast reflexes.

Playing style? Expect long strategic tussles, with an average winning game stretching over 63 moves, and a fondness for endgames (62% frequency). One might say lelio_937 enjoys the chess equivalent of a slow-cooked meal rather than fast food.

The player isn’t afraid to bow out early when the chips are down—about 5.8% early resignation rate—probably saving that energy for the next battle. Around 50% of white’s games end in victory and nearly 45% as black wins demonstrate competitive spirit irrespective of color.
