Profile: LinksMeetCuffs

Born from the depths of the chessboard biosphere, LinksMeetCuffs is a rapid-chess enthusiast whose rating has shown a steady evolutionary climb—from a modest 451 in 2024 to a more robust 573 in 2025.

This player’s style is a fascinating hybrid of cautious endgame perseverance (with an endgame frequency of 54.38%) and tactical quick-wit, boasting a comeback rate of 63.51%—a true testament to their cellular-level resilience and adaptability. Notably, LinksMeetCuffs has a 100% win rate even after losing a piece, proving they’re no stranger to metamorphosis on the board.

With an average of about 54 moves to victory, they carefully nurture their strategies to fruition like a well-tended garden of pawns and knights. Yet, when the losses come, they tend to linger longer—averaging 58 moves—displaying a stubborn will to fight until the very last ATP of their positional energy.

Delving into their opening repertoire reveals some truly symbiotic relationships. Among their favorites, the Van ’t Kruijs Opening stands out with an 80% win rate, clearly the “mitochondria” powering their early game success. Other notable openings include the Scotch Game and King’s Pawn variations, which maintain win rates just above 50%, illustrating a balanced genetic code of offensive gambits and positional play.

However, not every cell division is perfect—LinksMeetCuffs is known to have a mild tilt factor of 10, showing they occasionally let the pressure affect their mental protein synthesis. But with a relatively low early resignation rate of 3.86%, they’ve got the stamina of a marathon runner in the cerebral race.

Fun fact: they perform best during the late hours, with a peak 74.07% win rate at 11 PM (23:00), suggesting their neurons fire brightest under the moonlight’s chemiluminescence.

Their opponents come from all branches of the chess phylogenetic tree, with stellar records against some (like pirogge61 and shubhhh-19 at 100%) and tougher battles with others, but overall holding a nearly balanced win-loss record of 211 wins to 207 losses.

In sum, LinksMeetCuffs is a chess organism evolving steadily, with a knack for tough recoveries and a strategic genome rich in classic yet adaptive openings. Whether surviving on scraps of positional flaws or launching full gambit attacks, this player’s DNA is coded for persistence and growth on the 64-cell living board.
