Profile Summary: Luigino62

Meet Luigino62, a Rapid chess dynamo whose rating rollercoaster is nothing short of thrilling! Starting at a modest 233 in December 2024, Luigino62 climbed the peaks with a smashing personal best rating of 385 in May 2025 — quite the ascent for a player who balances creative play with moments of strategic risk!

Playing Style & Personality

Known for his cunning and surprisingly resilient tactical awareness, Luigino62 boasts a comeback rate near 69%, showing he’s not one to roll over when the chips are down. His games are often battles of endurance, averaging about 55 moves per victory, proving that patience is indeed a virtue. However, don’t be fooled – with an early resignation rate over 10%, there are times when even he throws in the towel (perhaps to preserve some mental sanity).

His preferred battlefield? Rapid chess — where quick thinking meets deep strategy. With a tilt factor of 8, he fights the psychological war as much as the chessboard one, sometimes handling pressure better than a caffeine addict facing a decaf day, and other times... well, less so.

Opening Repertoire

Luigino62’s opening choices are a fascinating cocktail: a fondness for the King’s Pawn Opening and aggressive variations like the Alekhine's Defense with a solid 52% win rate, alongside a somewhat inconsistent love-hate relationship with the Bishop’s Opening (a bit rough at 25% success). Queens Pawn structures also serve him well, yielding a confidence-boosting 66% win rate.

Fun fact: his win rate spikes up to 100% at some oddball hours like 3 AM and 5 AM — clearly, the moonlight fuels his genius!
