Profile Summary: lenka230

Meet lenka230, a passionate chess player whose journey is as dynamic as their moves on the board. Known lovingly in the chess circles as a formidable Rapid player, lenka230 has danced through over 3,700 Rapid games, weaving wins and losses into a tapestry of strategic growth and relentless pursuit of improvement.

Their peak Rapid rating soared to an impressive 1097 in April 2021, showcasing the peak of their tactical prowess. Not just a one-trick pony, lenka230 ventured briefly into the Blitz arena, hitting a peak of 1036—proving speed chess isn't too fast for their mind!

Their opening repertoire reads like a historical novel with a twist. The Van‘t Kruijs Opening is a beloved classic in their playbook, having wielded it in over 2700 games with nearly as many wins as losses, a near-even battlefield. Other favorites include the French Defense and the Nimzowitsch-Larsen Attack, where lenka230 seems more like a cunning tactician than just a player.

A peak of 9 consecutive wins hints at a brief flirtation with perfection, while a 14-game losing streak reminds us that even the best face the eternal nemesis: the unpredictability of human (and sometimes engine) error. Their current losing streak is a modest 2, but hey, every grandmaster has those days!

When it comes to opponents, lenka230 has conquered many, including tamcocnh, aquawell, and askeladd_4—each triumphed over in style, some with checkmates so elegant they practically deserve a standing ovation. Conversely, the elusive kaistarkenhance and bramgeorge remain persistent hurdles, undefeated in head-to-head battles.

Playing style? Think of lenka230 as a thoughtful strategist who doesn't shy away from the endgame, engaging in an endgame nearly 44% of their battles. With an average of 50 moves per win, their games are a testament to patience and calculated risk rather than lightning-fast checkmates.

Psychological resilience shines through a 36.74% comeback rate after setbacks, proving that lenka230’s heart beats chess strategy. They even have a charming habit of sometimes resigning early (~11% of games), perhaps saving time for the next epic encounter or just knowing when the queen's gambit has gambled against them.

And for those curious about when to catch this grand tactician in action: early mornings, around 5 AM, are their favorite playground—maybe the dawn brings mental clarity or just the perfect cup of coffee.
