Profile Summary: LostaRook

Meet LostaRook, the master of the rapid battlefield! This player has taken the rapid format by storm with a roller coaster rating journey—starting strong at 1200 in December 2023, dipping to lows around 330, and making steady comebacks to flirt with the 600 mark in 2024 and 2025. It’s a wild ride, but hey, what’s chess without a few thrilling ups and downs?

Known for persistence and a fighting spirit, LostaRook boasts a remarkable comeback rate of 74.74% after losing material, proving that giving up is not in their vocabulary (even if the tilt factor hits a respectable 9 out of 10). This player tends to call it quits early only 2.78% of the time, hanging on to their chess dream like a true strategist.

Playstyle Highlights

Opening Repertoire – The Rook’s Arsenal

LostaRook doesn’t just lose their rook, they know how to use it! With a fondness for the King’s Pawn Opening and variations of the Four Knights Game, their favorite trenches include the Four Knights Game Italian Variation with an impressive 56% win rate, and the Three Knights Opening which gives a winning smile over 53% of the time. Not every opening is welcomed warmly though; the Van't Kruijs Opening bites back with only a 35% success rate—looks like some openings are still on the “to-be-mastered” list.

Notable Streaks & Records

• Longest winning streak: 12 (which is basically a mini grandmaster run!)
• Longest losing streak: 9 (because every hero has their dark days)
• Total rapid games played: 2,090+, with a close-to-even win/loss record (978W - 1009L - 97D).

Moments of Glory & Defeat

Memorable Victory: A brilliant checkmate against kekeun, where LostaRook’s tactical prowess shone in the Four Knights Game - Spanish Variation. It was a 29-move dance ending in a royal checkmate!

Recent Challenges: Despite some shining moments, LostaRook has faced tough opponents like khairullahnooori and jawad_ht, who delivered swift defeats, reminding us that even the best are only human.

Tactical Tendencies and Psychological Quirks

LostaRook’s strength lies in persistence: with a 41% win rate after losing a piece, comebacks are essentially their signature move. However, the player does have a tilt factor of 9, which means a bad move or two might lead them down rabbit holes of self-doubt. But fear not—this gamer plays best around noon, so if you want a challenge, don’t bother them before 12:00!

Playing Hours & Win Rates

While chess can happen anytime, LostaRook shines brightest in the midday hours with an astonishing 60% win rate at noon, and a decent 50% around early morning hours (5 to 7 AM) – sunrise strategizing perhaps? Their Sunday sessions are the least reliable, but Mondays and Tuesdays seem lucky with nearly 49-50% success.

To sum it all up: LostaRook is a fighter, a strategic experimenter, and a resilient player. Whether dominating the board or learning from tough losses, this rapid chess warrior gives their all every game. If you’re lucky enough to face them, beware—they might just lose a rook, but you might also lose the match!
