Player Profile: luisclosier

Meet luisclosier, a chess battler with a blitz rating rollercoaster that would make even the most daring thrill-seeker envious. Starting modestly in 2013 with a blitz rating around 1300, luisclosier soared to impressive heights, reaching a peak blitz rating of 1760 in early 2022. That’s enough firepower to make bishops sweat and pawns rethink their life choices.

At chess.com’s swift tempo, luisclosier is a true lightning ninja with over 24,000 wins under their belt in blitz — proving resilience, skill, and maybe a little bit of stubborn defiance as they’ve also taken over 23,000 losses and nearly 3,000 draws in stride. In rapid and bullet forays, the player shows a dash of aggressive tactics paired with a cheeky win rate that can surprise foes in seconds.

Opening Repertoire & Style

When it comes to openings, luisclosier isn’t shy of spicy gambits and classical defenses. The Polish Opening is their trusty steed, boasting a winning rate of over 54%, while the Sicilian Defense and Scandinavian Defense make regular appearances — making their opponents wonder if they’re facing a well-prepared grandmaster or just a guy who really likes complicated messes.

Armed with a 1.54% early resignation rate and an impressive 78.9% endgame frequency, luisclosier is clearly a fighter to the last pawn. With average moves per win nudging 80 and a chess brain that bounces back 82.6% of the time after a losing piece, this player has as much grit as grandmaster potential (though maybe with more caffeine).

Psychological Trends & Best Times

Like a thoughtful strategist who plans their moves well ahead, luisclosier's best hour to strike is 11:00 AM, a time when coffee has kicked in but before the world’s distractions drown out focus. If you're looking to play, that’s probably the best time to expect a challenge! However, an unfortunate tilt factor of 13 hints that sometimes things get a little too spicy in the heat of battle — original chess is all about balance, right?

Recent Battles

In recent encounters, luisclosier showed both sportsmanship and precision, with a memorable victory in 2025 against carlvl via an aggressive Sicilian Defense spoiling the party in just 32 moves — playing like a gourmet chef serving checkmate delicacies. On the flip side, not all games have gone smoothly: a recent loss to mgrchess123 came via a sly Giuoco Piano, reminding us that even the best occasionally get their king borrowed out to the opponent’s dinner table.

Summary

Funny, focused, and fiercely competitive, luisclosier exemplifies the rollercoaster spirit of blitz chess. Always ready to mix calculated risks with moments of brilliance, this player is a lover of the board and a fright for the pawns. Whether clawing back from a losing position or cornering an opponent with elegance, luisclosier continues to sharpen the game with each move and never fails to remind us why we love this quirky 64-square battlefield.
