Profile Summary: luizwas
Meet luizwas, a dedicated chess enthusiast whose journey on the 64 squares has been nothing short of a rollercoaster ride with moments of brilliance, persistence, and a dash of endearing struggle.
Rating Adventures
Starting humbly with a blitz rating around 1200 in early 2020, luizwas embarked on an epic ascent, reaching a peak blitz rating of 2189 in January 2024. Bullet time? No problem: a sharp spike up to 2155 in bullet chess was noted in August 2023. Rapid chess hasn't been left behind, boasting a peak rating of 2230 in April 2023. And lest we forget the daily grind, with a solid 800 rating from a single game in 2020.
Playing Style and Personality
With an impressive 66% endgame frequency and an average of 65 moves per game (whether winning or losing), luizwas is not one to give up quickly — that’s a marathoner’s mindset on the chessboard! Despite a tilt factor of 59 (yes, chess can be emotional), the playstyle includes a commendable comeback rate near 77%, showing resilience when facing adversity.
White might have a slight edge in their hands, winning around 47% of games, but black isn't far behind at nearly 46%. Early resignations happen occasionally (~10%), suggesting that sometimes luizwas knows when to call it quits before the checkmate hammer falls.
Opening Repertoire
The openings tell stories too—classic battles in French Defense Exchange, Queen’s Pawn variations, and a decent flirtation with the Sicilian Najdorf reveal a player eager to both experiment and hold solid ground. Notably, in bullet chess, the French Defense Knight Variation shines with over 60% win rate, proving a sharp weapon in lightning games.
Victories and Setbacks
Wins and losses are neck and neck: roughly 2633 wins to 2648 losses in blitz, with a sprinkle of draws. Bullet games are a battlefield with slightly more losses than wins, but that’s part of the chaos of blitz and bullet chess! Rapid games have fewer matches but still demonstrate competitive spirit.
The most recent games tell of swift tactical encounters, including a victory where luizwas claimed the win on time and other wins by resignation, as well as the occasional harsh checkmate against competitive opponents. The chessboard is, after all, a place of constant learning!
