Luka Radulovic (Lukaa_2)
Meet Luka Radulovic, an intrepid chess warrior whose journey through the ranks of rapid, bullet, and blitz chess resembles a roller-coaster more than a royal procession. With a peak rapid rating soaring to 636 in May 2025 and a blistering bullet peak of 672 back in March 2023, Luka tackles the 64 squares with determined flair and a hint of unpredictability.
Luka’s style might be best described as a cocktail of stubborn resilience and tactical audacity. Known for a 71.65% comeback rate and an impressive eagerness to battle on in complex endgames (played in over half the games!), Luka is not one to throw in the towel too quickly — although the occasional early resignation rate of 13.82% hints at the occasional “I’ll try again next match” moment.
With a penchant for the Queen's Pawn Opening, especially the Zukertort Chigorin Variation, Luka has wrestled through 34 rapid games there, almost evenly split between wins and losses, demonstrating that the road to mastery is paved with equal parts victory and valuable learning. Meanwhile, the fierce Alekhine's Defense Maroczy Variation boasts Luka’s highest win rate of 71%, proving that old-school defenses still have life in them.
When it comes to opponents, Luka’s record reads like a mix of love and rivalry—winning 52.63% of games against masanhhhhh but only managing a tough 38.46% against masan123p. Against a few chess heavyweights, victory has been elusive, but Luka keeps battling with that same fiery spirit.
As for timing, if you want Luka at his best, set your alarm for 4 AM! That’s when Luka’s win rate hits a perfect 100%—either absolute chess zen or caffeine-fueled genius. Saturdays and Tuesdays also see especially strong performances, with win rates above 50%.
It's not just about numbers and stats; Luka's recent games tell tales of fierce topboards duels with nail-biting finishes. Just days ago, Luka clinched a win against riki_burum in a Queen's Gambit Declined battle featuring queens on fire and pawns dancing to promotion. Yet, like every true competitor, Luka embraces defeat with grace, having recently faced a checkmate by LeHBiensur—a reminder that even the best have to reboot and come back stronger.
Whether wielding a rapid stratagem or blazing through bullet battles, Luka Radulovic (aka Lukaa_2) embodies the love/hate relationship chess players share with the game: sometimes brilliant, sometimes baffling, always entertaining.
Fun fact: Luka’s average moves per win is a neat 61.35, but when things go south, losses tend to be quicker—averaging 49.88 moves—proving Luka likes to keep the suspense going!
