Chess Profile: luavap

Meet luavap, a rapid-paced chess enthusiast known for a curious blend of perseverance, occasional dramatic swings, and a knack for pulling off comebacks that would make a magician proud.

Rating Rollercoaster

luavap’s rapid rating peaked impressively at 297 in April 2025—a meteoric rise from humble beginnings at 100 not long before. Although there have been ups and downs (including a spell hovering around 150-180), luavap keeps bouncing back stronger. Quick blitz and bullet sessions show a bit of hesitation, with ratings in the low 100s—clearly, rapid is where the magic happens.

Playing Style & Personality

With a 67.88% comeback rate, luavap turns near defeats into memorable victories with sheer grit. Interestingly, they prefer sticking it out rather than crying early, as their early resignation rate is a modest 13.72%. Prepare for games that last an average of 46 moves when winning—a sign of meticulous grinding through the mid and endgame.

Their favorite time to play is at 10 PM, where the win rate hits a perfect 100% in the last recorded hour. Night owl or chess ninja? You decide.

Favorite Openings

luavap loves the Polish Opening— with over 86 games and a decent 51% win rate, it’s clearly their signature move on the rapid stage. Other secret weapons include the Van t Kruijs Opening (winning over 57% of games!) and some solid results against the Caro-Kann defense.

Champion of Comebacks

Despite a nearly equal tally of wins and losses (330 wins vs 325 losses in rapid), luavap’s exceptional composure shines bright in tough situations. Losing a piece? No sweat, they bounce back with a 41.64% win rate post-disadvantage. Opponents beware: It’s never over until luavap resigns... or causes a checkmate.

Memorable Moments

One of luavap’s latest triumphs ended with a checkmate after a thrilling 29-move battle, showcasing creative play from the Polish Opening. That game alone encapsulates the spirit of their play: aggressive, gritty, and full of surprises.
