Profile Summary: Cây Rừng (a.k.a. LowIQ00)
Meet Cây Rừng, the Blitz battler known for turning pawns into panic and kings into quivering courtiers. With a peak Blitz rating soaring to 1706 in early 2021, this player’s journey through the 64 squares is nothing short of an epic saga.
Starting with a modest average rating in 2018, Cây Rừng wisely embraced the art of perseverance, grinding through thousands of Blitz games — over 6700 wins in Blitz alone (because who’s counting losses, right?). The journey was peppered with highs, including a blistering win streak of 25 games, proving that sometimes, even the trees can grow strong and mighty.
Their playing style blends patience with a dash of optimism: an early resignation rate that’s manageable at 2.78%, a love for long games with nearly 58 moves per win, and the inevitability of an endgame, occurring in nearly 58% of matches. The player's psychological resilience is evident too — boasting an impressive 80.26% comeback rate after losing a piece. If a piece falls, they don’t just throw in the towel; they tend to throw back a stinging counterpunch!
Opening Repertoire Highlights
Prefer to keep your opponents on their toes? Cây Rừng has cracked open a vast wardrobe of openings, with a soft spot for the Scotch Game (over 280 games played, winning 54%), Italian Game (winning over 55% of the time), and the spicy Scandinavian Defense Mieses Kotrc Variation with a respectable 57% win rate. If you think you’ve seen it all, think again — their arsenal ranges from the classic Philidor Defense to the ever-daring Van't Kruijs Opening, the latter boasting a bullet win rate well into the 70s%, truly a niche expert.
Favorite Time Controls & Play Times
Cây Rừng thrives in the rapid hustle of Rapid and Blitz, with peak ratings hitting 1333 and 1706 respectively, but they never shy from the challenge of Bullet games, where tactical quickness scores a high of 1722. Their best play often comes bright and early around 8:00 AM, so if you’re hoping to catch them off guard, perhaps avoid that hour!
