Playing Style & Statistics
Leonard tends to play the endgame like it’s a slow-burning thriller, with an endgame frequency of 61%, and tends to average around 60 moves per win—talk about stamina! He’s no stranger to early resignations, clocking in just under 7%, proving he’s not one to linger in unwinnable battles (smart decision). Playing with White or Black yields nearly equal success (White win rate 47.69%, Black 47.06%), so he’s comfortable on either side of the board.
Favorite Openings
Despite a tactical brain, Leonard prefers the classic roads to victory:
- In Blitz, he dominates with the Scandinavian Defense, boasting a 68.75% win rate over 32 games.
- The Queen’s Pawn Opening is his bread and butter, with nearly 50% wins and over 110 games under his belt.
- He’s also dabbled in the Englund Gambit and King’s Pawn Opening, proving versatility despite mixed outcomes.
- In Bullet, the Queen’s Pawn Opening shines with a perfect 100% win rate (though in just a few games).
Recent Notable Games
A recent Blitz showdown saw Leonard checkmating MonjiloAyman with a daring Queen’s Pawn Opening variation, ending the game smoothly at move 36. Just before that, he claimed victory on time against PlusUltra93, showcasing his solid play under pressure. Of course, no player’s career is without blemishes — his recent loss to kola199 by timeout was a reminder that even the best can stumble when the clock runs out.
Psychological Profile and Quirks
Leonard’s tilt factor is a manageable 6%, suggesting he keeps his cool better than many online warriors. His best hour to engage in battle is 22:00 — so if you want to catch him at his prime, set your alarms late. Notably, he wins more often on Sundays (57% win rate), perhaps because he enjoys a relaxed vibe or the weekend magic boosts his brainpower.
Opponent Highlights
Leonard’s enemy ledger is colorful. He consistently triumphs over some like monjiloayman (100% win rate!) but struggles against others, snagging zero wins against opponents such as ma7moud3bdallah and hardikmakvana. Variance is the spice of life—and chess, apparently.
Final Thoughts
Leonard Zaleski is the kind of player who brings both enjoyment and unpredictability to the 64 squares. Whether it’s a fierce Blitz brawl or a slow-burning Daily duel, Leonard’s games are as much about patience and persistence as they are about tactics and strategy. He might not be Grandmaster material yet, but his growth curve, comebacks, and opening adventures suggest he’s definitely a force to be reckoned with—and quite fun to watch stumble and soar!
