About LetaDr

LetaDr is a chess enthusiast whose journey through the 64 squares is a rollercoaster of thrilling wins, heartbreaking losses, and a sprinkle of hilarious blunders.

Ratings & Progress

Starting with a humble rapid rating just shy of 300 at the end of 2023, LetaDr showed a tenacity reminiscent of a knight galloping through a crowded board to rise steadily above 600 by late 2024—quite the leap for someone who often loves a good early resignation (2.6% of games!). Their daily chess rating reached a respectable 400, proving that even quick games are not left unchecked.

Style of Play

Known for a love of long battles, LetaDr's losing games last significantly longer (average 67 moves) than their wins (about 51 moves), suggesting a fighting spirit that doesn't quit easily. Their endgames are frequent and intricate, accounting for nearly 59% of games, where patience and precision are king.

Psychologically, LetaDr is no stranger to the rollercoaster of chess emotions with a tilt factor of 12. But don't be fooled—when it comes to comebacks, the resilience shines through with a nearly 59% comeback rate, showing that even when pieces are lost, hope never leaves the battlefield.

Opening Preferences

LetaDr favors classic openings such as the King's Pawn Opening with nearly 5300 games and an almost 50% win rate to show for it. Though the King's Knight Variation brings some puzzling results with a win rate dipping just above 40%, the variety in choices shows a versatile player willing to experiment and learn.

Most Memorable Games

One of LetaDr's most recent triumphs featured a dazzling mini-combination where the Black opponent resigned by move 7 after a Bishop sacrifice (and a Queen showing off at Qf3 early on). Checkmates and resignations are common themes in their winning games, indicating strong pressure and strategic prowess.

On the flip side, losses come with their own drama, including a spectacular checkmate delivered by opponents in some tightly contested battles, reminding us all that even grandmasters in the making face fiery dragons.
