Chess Profile: Logan Prazeres (Log165)

Logan Prazeres, better known in the online chess battleground as Log165, is a spirited rapid player who has danced through the ranks with a mosaic of daring victories and heroic defeats. With a peak rapid rating of 621 achieved back in March 2021, Logan has shown flashes of brilliance sprinkled with moments of humbling learning—because every chess hero needs a few dragons to slay!

Playing Style & Stats

Logan isn't your typical grandmaster-in-the-making — rather, a steadfast tactician with a penchant for sharp openings and thrilling middlegame skirmishes. Sporting a win-loss-draw record hovering around 79-87-8 in rapid games, Logan embraces the ebb and flow of battle with a comeback rate exceeding 55%. That’s right — give this player a lost piece, and there’s nearly a 40% chance they’ll still turn the tables. Persistence is the name of the game here.

However, Logan’s journey isn’t without its quirks. A curious early resignation rate of 26% suggests either a keen strategic sense for spotting losing positions or a healthy dose of “I-need-a-break” moments. And while the average game length hovers close to 47 moves when victorious, losses tend to end quicker, showing a punchy, sometimes impatient streak.

Favorite Openings & Warriors

When choosing openings, Logan loves to shake things up! The Alekhine's Defense is a clear favorite, boasting an impressive 70% win rate — clearly this opening keeps opponents on their toes. The King’s Pawn Opening - Leonardis Variation and Van 't Kruijs Opening follow closely behind as trusty swords in Logan's arsenal, each providing about a 66% success rate.

Contrarily, some openings like the Scandinavian Defense and Englund Gambit have proven tougher nuts to crack, reminding us that no player is perfect (yet).

Highs, Lows, and Legendary Moments

Logan’s longest winning streak stands tall at 10 games, a testament to a fiery streak of dominance before either exhaustion or the cruel mistress “tilt” (rated a mild 7 on the intensity scale) sets in. After all, even the best lose their cool occasionally!

Speaking of moments to savor, one legendary win came with a swift checkmate against TuezinDo085, showcasing a dazzling board vision that ended the game in just 11 moves — a dazzling display of "eat chess for breakfast" style play.

Off the Board

When not storming the chess server at the witching hour (Logan's best time to play is an unbeatable 11 PM, where the mind is sharpest and the opponents are perhaps a little sleepy), this player enjoys testing new openings, practicing comebacks, and lamenting the occasional unfortunate blunder.
