Louis Cooper (Lou2410)
Meet Louis Cooper, a relentless chess warrior whose journey resembles a rollercoaster more than a smooth grandmaster ascent. With a peak Rapid rating of 1038 back in 2020, Louis has certainly had his fair share of swings on the rating scale—rising from the depths of 266 to a respectable recent surge to 912. If patience and persistence were pieces on the board, Louis would be checkmating opponents every game!
Playing Style & Strengths
Louis tends to favor the slow burn, with an average game length of around 57 moves in wins and even longer when he loses. This suggests a player who enjoys the tactical tussle and the endgame dance—a whopping 56% endgame frequency shows he's not just rushing to victory or defeat but savoring the chess marathon. There's a hint of drama too, with a comeback rate near 73%! When life takes a piece, Lou fights back with fierce tactical awareness.
Time Preferences & Quirks
While 5 AM is noted as his best time to play (early risers, beware!), Louis’s win rates shine strongly in the morning hours, especially around 7 and 8 AM with win rates touching near 60%. Perhaps fueled by coffee or the thrill of dawn’s strategic clarity, he’s a menace on the board when most of us are still half-asleep or betting the snooze button!
Opening Repertoire
Openings? Louis keeps them mysterious with a huge chunk of games listed under “Unknown Opening”—because who doesn’t like a bit of intrigue? But when he’s up for known battles, he toes the line with Queens Gambit Declined, French Defense, and a love/hate relationship with the Philidor Defense. In Daily games, the “Top Secret” opening reigns supreme, with a perfect 100% win rate—now that’s classified chess mastery.
Record & Rivalries
Louis boasts over 1,600 rapid games with a nearly even win-loss record (866 wins to 815 losses), proving that every match is a hard-fought epic saga. His rivalry with "tunna93" is especially notable: a staggering 93.75% win rate means Louis enjoys a commanding upper hand – he’d probably smirk at Tuna before devouring the gambit.
Recent Triumphs & Trials
His latest victories show savvy play in complex Queen’s Pawn openings and Closed Sicilian defenses, often finishing games by graceful resignation defeats—because Louis understands the art of patience and knows when to say, “Checkmate, my friend!” Conversely, his recent losses have come against aggressive openings like the Three Knights Opening, reminding us all that even the best stumble sometimes—after all, who needs perfection when you have style?
A Final Nod
If you meet Louis Cooper on the chessboard, expect a marathon match filled with tactical fireworks, enduring strategic battles, and a hint of early-morning madness. Whether he's climbing back from a lost piece or ambushing opponents with a "Top Secret" opening, Louis exemplifies the passion and unpredictability that makes chess grand, casual, and just a little bit hilarious.
