Lukas Leisch (Luklei18) - International Master

Lukas Leisch, known online as Luklei18, is an International Master who dances across the 64 squares with both precision and flair. With a reputation for tactical brilliance, Lukas’s playing style shows a penchant for long, grinding endgames — no quick checkmates here — boasting an impressive 85.88% endgame frequency. When Lukas wins, it usually takes around 81 moves of strategic wizardry; when losing, well, they’re still fighting on until move 90.

A true speed demon in Blitz and Bullet formats as well, Lukas reached a blazing Blitz peak rating of 2604 and a Bullet max of 2476, dominating rapid-fire battles with a striking win rate over 61% in Bullet games when wielding their favorite (top secret!) opening.

Lukas’s psychological resilience deserves applause: a remarkable 94.44% comeback rate and a perfect 100% win rate after losing a piece — because giving up isn’t in Lukas’s playbook. Also, the tilt factor is kept neatly at 4, so frustration rarely clouds judgment.

Matchups can be quirky; for instance, Lukas’s record against hanschut is flawless, but not so hot versus suuuii2304. Whether breaking down opponent defenses or holding their own against tough adversaries, Lukas’s chess diary reveals a warrior’s spirit fueled by an affinity for lengthy battles and psychological endurance.

If you want to catch Lukas online, prime times are Thursday through Saturday, with win rates hitting 90% on Thursdays and a perfect 100% on Saturdays — clearly, the weekend chess vibe suits them best.

In summary, Lukas Leisch is a formidable, resilient IM who transforms every game into an epic narrative — sometimes mysterious thanks to the “top secret” openings — but always fierce and full of heart.
