Leosemarre: The Rollercoaster Rapid Rook
In the unpredictable arena of online rapid chess, Leosemarre emerges as a player who embraces the chaos as much as the strategy. With a peak rapid rating of 585, achieved in May 2025, Leosemarre's journey is less about dull, calculated wins and more about spectacular swings, gritty comebacks, and a dash of (sometimes questionable) early resignations.
Chess Style & Personality
Known for a tactical awareness that shines especially bright in adversity, Leosemarre boasts a comeback rate of over 76% — a testament to their refusal to give up, even when the odds and pieces are stacked against them. Yet, don’t expect a long, drawn-out endgame every time; just under half of their games dive past the opening.
Beware the early surrender, though: with roughly a quarter of games ending in early resignation, Leosemarre has mastered the art of the dramatic retreat as well. Their average winning games clock in at about 35 moves, while losses tend to drag on to a stressful 52 moves — talk about endurance!
Opening Repertoire
The King’s Pawn Opening – Kings Knight Variation is a proud battleground for Leosemarre, yielding a solid 62.5% win rate across 8 games. Other favorites include the Nimzowitsch Defense and Alekhine’s Defense, where a cheeky ~67% success rate shows Leosemarre can handle some unconventional lines with flair. Sadly, some openings like the Undefined and Scotch Game seem to invite defeat—a cautionary tale against winging it too much.
Match Highlights & Memorable Moments
Among their recent victories stands a thrilling game against throwawaygranpa, where Leosemarre executed a daring knight sacrifice to seize the initiative, eventually forcing resignation after less than 40 moves. Their taste for boldness is supported by opponents such as aboubouboule and nauloco, against whom Leosemarre maintains a perfect winning record.
However, time management can be a challenge; losses by timeout also pepper their record, reminding us that the clock is a ruthless foe. That said, the best time to challenge Leosemarre is around 2 PM, where their win rate impressively peaks at 100%!
