LukHim

Chess Profile: LukHim

Meet LukHim, a chess player whose games tell tales of thrilling highs, humbling lows, and a spirit that never quits. If chess ratings were a roller coaster, LukHim would be front and center, hands in the air, screaming with excitement (and maybe a bit of fear).

Rating Rollercoaster

LukHim reached a peak rapid rating of 836 and blitz rating of 918 back in early 2025 — proof that the potential is definitely there! But, like a dainty knight trapped on the edges of the board, LukHim's ride has seen swings — with recent months dropping the ratings down to around the 300s for rapid and 120s to 130s in blitz. In rapid, LukHim played a solid 68 games in spring 2025, winning 23 times but also tasting 43 losses, showing that the path to mastery is paved with sacrifice (and some pawns).

Playing Style & Personality

LukHim is not afraid to throw in the towel early sometimes—about 20% of games are resigned early — maybe out of frustration or a strategic retreat to regroup and come back stronger. The games that are won tend to last longer (average 54 moves), indicating patience when things go well, while losses happen relatively quickly (average 34 moves).

With a comeback rate close to 63%, LukHim shows a knack for fighting back after setbacks, never quite ready to concede defeat without a battle. But beware, caution flags: a tilt factor rating of 13 suggests the occasional emotional avalanche might sneak in when the tide turns.

Favorite Openings & Strategies

Whether diving into the King’s Pawn Opening - Knight Variation or testing the waters with the Indian Game Knights Variation (with a promising 66.67% win rate there!), LukHim likes to keep opponents guessing. The Petrov’s Defense, however, hasn't been kind (25% win rate). Blitz games often feature LukHim playing the classic King’s Pawn Opening, though with a challenging win rate of just 22%, it's fair to say those games tend to be rollercoasters.

Memorable Matches

One recent gem: a rapid game victory against MrPrince111, where LukHim triumphed on time after an intense battle in the Italian Game. Another notable game saw him delivering a neat checkmate finishing move in just 34 moves against Franz_louis90. These flashes of brilliance ignite the chessboard and keep opponents on their toes.

Competition & Opponents

LukHim battles frequently with schundluder, holding an impressive 91.67% success rate against this foe, showing there's definitely a rival turned "favorite opponent" vibe going. Yet, against some others like kostala-kosta and addysrv, LukHim's win rate is still a tough climb at 0%, reminding us all that not every day is a checkmate day.

Optimal Chess Time

According to data, LukHim is a late-evening warrior — playing best (perfect 100% win rate!) around 9 PM, with strong performances on Tuesdays and Saturdays. Perhaps this is when the brain is fully caffeinated or the stars align for crafty tactics.

In Summary

LukHim is a rollercoaster of a player: unafraid to lose, determined to win, learning from mistakes, and always ready to battle on. With a fighting spirit matched only by his unpredictable rating swings, LukHim brings excitement to every board. So whether you’re his rival or his teammate, one thing’s for sure — you’ll never have a dull game with LukHim.
