Profile Summary: limsnd
Meet limsnd, a rapid chess warrior whose journey through the 64 squares is as thrilling as a rollercoaster ride — filled with ups, downs, and a fair share of surprises. Starting with a modest rapid rating hovering around the 470-600 mark at the end of 2024, limsnd rocket-launched their way into the 900s and beyond by spring 2025, peaking impressively at 1041 in April. Talk about a glow-up!
Playing around 1,800 rapid games (and counting), limsnd is no stranger to battle. With a nearly balanced record of 858 wins, 824 losses, and 109 draws, this player knows how to fight tooth and nail for glory. Sometimes the win streak hits 10 games in a row; other times, a 13-game slump reminds them that chess is a humbling teacher.
Opening repertoire: A mysterious mix!
While many cling to a trusty opening or two, limsnd explores the battlefield with a vast arsenal. The "Top Secret" opening accounts for the majority of their games — 1592 battles with an almost even win rate near 48%. Other favorites include the Scotch Game and the Bishop's Opening, the latter boasting an impressive 75% win rate but played only four times—because mystery is cool.

Recent Battles
In a recent showdown versus pa60co, limsnd played a carefully crafted Petrovs Defense, convincing their opponent to resign after a tactical masterpiece.

Opponent Chronicles
Opponents beware: limsnd boasts a 100% win rate against a surprisingly long list of rivals, proving either unstoppable focus or just really good at remembering their chess passwords. Notable nemeses include odairbarrena and rigel-26, who currently hold an undefeated streak against limsnd — but all in good fun, right?
In short, limsnd is a player who mixes skill, perseverance, and a hint of enigma. Whether you're facing them on the board or just admiring from afar, one thing's for sure: their journey through the chess world is anything but boring!
