Lolek Sajna (lolek22021) - The Blitz Maestro with a Dash of Humor
If chess were a sprint, Lolek Sajna would be the Usain Bolt of the 64 squares — at least when it comes to blitz! Starting from a modest blitz rating of 1431 in 2017, Lolek has rocketed to a peak blitz rating of 2637 in September 2023. That’s right: this player has turned rapid brain gymnastics into an art form, crushing over 1,200 wins in blitz with an infectious appetite for aggressive attacks and tactical fireworks.
About the Player
Known affectionately by their username lolek22021, Sajna has proven to be a formidable contender across multiple time controls. While blitz is clearly their playground, their rapid games also reflect solid prowess, peaking at a respectable 1765. Bullet chess? They've dabbled, hitting a high of 2347 in a couple of fierce matches. Suffice to say, try to catch them off-guard in any time format — they’ve got a comeback rate of an eye-watering 87% and win over half their games even after losing a piece!
Playing Style - A Mix of Patience and Tactical Wizardry
- Lolek’s average game length is around 73 moves for wins and 81 moves for losses, showing a willingness to play out battles into complicated endgames rather than quick checkmates (unless they find one!).
- With an endgame frequency exceeding 80%, this player knows how to stay in the fight and convert slight advantages into victories, much like a chess detective meticulously solving the murder of the opponent’s king.
- Their favorite opening? The Closed Sicilian Defense (Fianchetto Variation), boasting a win rate of nearly 69% over 50+ games. It seems Lolek loves both subtlety and complexity — a fitting combo for someone who rarely resigns early (less than 0.3% early resignation rate!).
Psychological Trends & Fun Facts
While many players tilt after a tough loss, Lolek’s tilt factor is surprisingly low at 10 — which in chess psychology probably means they complain quietly while plotting revenge in the next game. Their best time to play? Around 11 PM, when the moon is out and chess demons seem easiest to slay.
Notably, Lolek has survived some intense losing streaks (up to 10 games) but also boasts a spectacular winning streak of an astonishing 31 consecutive victories — talk about a rollercoaster ride through the ranks!
Recent Highlights
On February 6, 2024, in a finely calculated blitz battle against cansun (rated 2447), Lolek clinched a victory by resignation after a deep and patient maneuvering in the Closed Sicilian Defense. With flawless timing and precise moves such as an early Ne4 and a pungent Rd6 squeeze, Lolek demonstrated the very essence of their style: tactical genius wrapped in strategic calm.
Opponent Stats & Rivalries
Šajna has tangled most often (and with high success rates) against foes like zoranjakovljevic (82% win rate in 28 games) and mhd_alfisyahri. Beware if you face Lolek, as they show near-perfect records against many players and a win rate that makes casual opponents wish the clock would speed up.
In Summary
Lolek Sajna is the kind of player you want on your screen late at night when speed and precision matter most. Don’t underestimate them in rapid formats either — the Italian Game specialist with 100% rapid wins knows how to switch gears and still come out ahead. Whether you’re playing on a sunny Thursday afternoon or a breezy late-night blitz session, Lolek’s style combines iron endurance, clever tactics, and a little bit of cheeky flair.
Pro tip: Don’t fall for any early traps, or you might end up in a 70-move epic where you wish your queen was still on the board!
