Meet leopro2016, a Rapid enthusiast valiantly navigating the wild seas of chess in 2025. With a peak rating soaring to a majestic 620 (on May 19), leopro2016 shows a relentless spirit mostly fighting uphill battles, as evidenced by their overall Rapid record: 3 wins, 11 losses, and a single, elusive draw.

Chess is not just a game but an adventure for leopro2016, who oscillates wildly between Blitzkrieg attacks and moments of graceful capitulation. Their longest losing streak clocks in at a whopping 9 games, but never fear—they’re currently riding a hot 2-game winning streak, proving comebacks are their secret sauce with a notable 66.67% comeback rate after setbacks. Resilience? Check. (Pun intended.)

Opening Moves & Strategy

leopro2016 is a connoisseur of eclectic openings — dabbling in the Scandinavian Defense and even flirting with daring gambits like the Englund Gambit (which is about 50/50 in success, just like flipping a slightly bent coin). Their prized victories often bloom from surprise attacks like the French Defense Knight Variation and the ever-mysterious Grob Opening, each boasting a flawless 100% win rate in their limited appearances.

When playing White, leopro2016 likes to fling open the gates with e4 more often than not, favoring a classical approach, but also occasionally mixing it up with d4 and d3. Black pieces see a slightly better win rate — perhaps because sneaky counterattacks fit their style. Average game length hovers around 50 moves, hinting at a patient, strategic grind complemented by an average of 39 moves per win, sometimes feeling more like a marathon than a sprint.

Playing Style & Quirks

leopro2016’s style is a delightful cocktail of:

• Endgame aficionado: Nearly half their games reach the endgame phase.
• Eager beaver: The average first capture happens around move 4 — early skirmishes are common.
• Early resignation rate: About 18% of games conclude prematurely, proving sometimes it’s just easier to fold than to play on ad infinitum.
• Psychological rollercoaster: They tend to tilt moderately (tilt factor of 9), yet show their sharpest moves during the 3 PM hour — prime time for checkmating ambitions!

Notable Rivalries & Records

leopro2016's most frequent nemesis is aleboss2010, facing off 8 times with a challenging 12.5% win rate — proving some rivalries are built on persistence, if not dominance. However, they’re undefeated against rarer opponents like k-h-o-f-o and exitmusic1234, boasting a perfect 100% score against those challengers.

Victory Highlight

One of leopro2016's recent gems features a swift triumph using the French Defense Knight Variation — a game sealed by a crafty knight foray on move 9 that left the opponent sulking. Check out the moment:
