A Memorable Blitz Encounter
In May 2025, during a fierce blitz match on Chess.com, lemures27 demonstrated precise mastery over the Caro-Kann Defense Advance Variation. In a game full of tactical fireworks, Lemnys executed a brilliant 30-move victory against JGroffCT by resignation, converting pressure into triumph after a tactical melee.

The Human Behind the Pawns
With a tilt factor of 12, Lemnys keeps his composure — well, mostly — and prefers mornings around 7 AM to strike his best moves, probably fueled by strong coffee or sheer determination (or both).
