Meet lskb2008, a rapid-fire chess enthusiast whose journey on the 64 squares is as thrilling as a rollercoaster ride—sometimes soaring to dizzying peaks, other times gracefully embracing the humbling dips. Known in chess circles for a peak rapid rating of 354 in late 2024 and a blitz high watermark of 553 in May 2025, lskb2008 is no stranger to intense mind battles.
With a preferred time control of Rapid, their style is a curious blend of resilience and flair. They tend to wrap up wins in around 41 moves on average but aren't shy about sticking around when things get tough, with losses stretching to about 55 moves. Their knack for comebacks shines through a robust 54.29% comeback rate, proving they're never out of the fight—even if they momentarily misplace a piece (winning nearly 38% of such awkward scenarios).
Signature Moves & Openings
True to a creative spirit, lskb2008 favors the Reti Opening like a seasoned chef’s signature dish, boasting a delectable 75% win rate in rapid play and a flawless 100% blitz success with it.

However, Van Geet Opening remains a mischievous nemesis with no wins yet, reminding us even heroes have their kryptonite.
