Boris Maurence (aka llanas66)
Meet Boris Maurence, a rapid-fire chess enthusiast whose rating rollercoaster ride between March and June 2025 can best be described as "dramatic with a hint of suspense." Peaking at a modest but respectable 573 in April, Boris is not your average casual player; he’s a strategic gladiator balancing wins and losses with an average rapid rating hovering around 510.
Boris’s style screams versatility: from the unyielding Scandinavian Defense to the flawless 100% win streak in the Bishop’s Opening (where others fear to tread, he conquers). His favorite playgrounds seem to be queens’ gambits and kings’ knight variations, where he mixes tactical flair with endgame patience—because Boris knows that achieving mastery is mostly about the last 50-ish moves. Speaking of moves, his wins last around 48 moves on average, showing he’s no quick checkmate braggart.
When it comes to opponents, Boris is a rollercoaster: some foes like fefzouille stumble 82.6% of the time, while others, like rabby45, have proven quite the stumbling block with Boris currently holding a big zero % win rate against them. Lucky for Boris, his comeback rate is a fierce 67.6%, proving that even when the chips are down, resignation is rarely his first choice.
Boris's psychological makeup is intriguing. With a tilt factor of 9, he's got the occasional “chess rage” but generally keeps it classy under pressure, and his best time to play? The crack of dawn at 5:00 AM — while most of us are dreaming of checkmates, Boris is busy delivering them. His early resignation rate is low, showing stubborn grit, and he boasts better win rates when playing with the white pieces (58.7%) compared to black (56.1%).
Oh, and don't let his rapid rating fool you—his daily games score a neat 400 peak with a flawless 2-0 record for May 2025. Success is sweet no matter the format!
