Opening Repertoire & Performance
When it comes to openings, liel31 has a quirky but effective style:

- Favored other openings like the French Defense and the Giuoco Piano where success rates hover around 80%.
- Bullet games are more varied; wielding the Englund Gambit like a dagger with a surprising 76.92% win rate.
Strengths and Quirks
Liel31 doesn’t back down from a challenge, but they do have a “tilt factor” of 10 — which means losing a handful in a row can leave them grumbling before resetting their brain chips. Their best time of day to play? Exactly 7 am — the magical hour when their mind is sharp and the coffee is fresh.
Recent Battles
On May 6, 2025, in a bullet tournament, liel31 conquered the board with a sleek checkmate using the classic Giuoco Piano Italian Four Knights Variation. The final flourish came after an intense 35-move duel — quite the morning workout!
Yet, the road is not without bumps. The same day, a loss on time in a tricky English Opening reminded them that even the best have off moments. But fear not—liel31 tends to come back stronger, ready to surprise foes with sharp tactics and endgame cunning.
Opponent Insights
With a win record against many opponents edging close to perfection (100% vs several players!), it’s clear that liel31 has a knack for learning from and dominating lesser-known rivals. Against familiar foes like sifatarifen, the battles are tougher (around 57% win rate), proving every game is a new challenge.
Summary
Whether blitzing through a rapid exchange or edging out a bullet finish by the clock, liel31 is a player who mixes tenacity with tactical flair. Not afraid to venture off the beaten path (thank you, Van t Kruijs Opening!), and armed with a comeback instinct rivaling the best, this player reminds us all: chess is as much about spirit as strategy.
Keep an eye on liel31 — the next sharp move may just checkmate your expectations.
