Profile Summary: ll_noko
Meet ll_noko, a blitz enthusiast whose chess journey is as dynamic and unpredictable as their rating graph! Starting strong with a peak blitz rating of 682 in May 2025, ll_noko has shown remarkable resilience despite some rocky patches — they’ve experienced losing streaks almost as epic as their winning ones, with a longest stretch of 7 wins followed closely by a 6-game losing streak. But hey, isn’t that what makes the game fun?
Preferred arena? Blitz chess — where speed and nerve collide. Although their bullet rating peeks modestly at 100, and rapid clocks in at a solid 623 peak, blitz games seem to be where ll_noko truly unleashes their strategic shenanigans, often beginning their battles with solid defenses such as the French Defense or the Queens Gambit Accepted — which boasts a neat 75% win rate for them in blitz. Not to mention some sneaky victories using less-traveled openings like the Van 't Kruijs or the French Defense Exchange variations.
Playing style? Expect a thinker who’s not afraid to resign early now and then (roughly 9% early resignations), but who thrives in lengthy tussles averaging over 50 moves per win. Their psychological game is no joke either — with a comeback rate north of 65%, ll_noko fights tooth and nail even after losing material, proving true grit on the virtual battlefield.
When’s the magic hour? Apparently, 03:00 is their golden time to strike — win rate hits a spectacular 100% in those wee hours. If you’re challenging ll_noko after a midnight snack, be prepared.
