Profile Summary: liconani
Meet liconani, a chess enthusiast whose journey on the 64 squares is filled with passion, persistence, and a dash of unpredictability. Starting with a modest rapid rating around 900 in 2021, liconani climbed up like a knight galloping through the ranks, peaking at a solid 1207 in early 2023.
With a playing style marked by deep endgames (71.56% endgame frequency) and long battles (average moves per win: ~71), liconani is not one to rush to resignation – though early resignations do pop up in just 2% of games. If you lose a piece, it’s not the end; a 41% comeback rate after losing material shows some serious tactical grit. However, the dreaded tilt hits occasionally, with liconani's Tilt Factor at 11 – so beware if you catch them on a bad day!
Opening the game like a true strategist, liconani enjoys the Queen’s Pawn openings and variations rich in complexity, especially the Chigorin and Zukertort variations where their win rates flirt around 48-52%. The Italian Game proves trickier, but hey – nobody’s perfect! Bullet games are a bit of a rollercoaster, with ratings swinging and resilience being truly tested — a peak bullet rating of 1082 in 2025 proves they can handle the heat when the clock is ticking fast.
On the chessboard clock, liconani shows a preference for early morning and late night battles, with best results almost mysteriously hitting at 9:00 AM and a remarkable 51% win rate at 15:00. But watch out at 7 AM: a quirky 0% win rate suggests that’s a good time to challenge them (or maybe just make a coffee first).
The recent games reveal liconani’s knack for turning the tables, with a spectacular win via checkmate and gritty defense forcing several resignations from opponents. Despite some losses, those matches often came from sharp battles full of cunning moves and tactical skirmishes.
Beyond raw numbers, liconani’s chess journey is a testament to persistence, learning from every blunder and victory, and striving to outwit the opponent no matter what. Whether it’s grinding through long rapid matches or sprinting in bullet firestorms, watch this player — they might just have a few clever surprises up their sleeve.
Fun fact: If you meet liconani mid-game, expect a fight worthy of the grandmasters... or at least a good laugh!
