Profile: lupoc0

Meet lupoc0, a plucky chess adventurer battling through the tactical jungles at a Rapid peak rating of 629 (achieved in February 2025). While not exactly the next Magnus Carlsen, lupoc0's journey is a rollercoaster of thrilling highs and determination-fueled lows.

Playing Style & Strengths

With a penchant for early resignations (15.11%), lupoc0 knows when to cut bait and start fresh — probably saving brain cells for the next encounter. They average about 39 moves per win or loss, indicating a fighting spirit that seldom caves too early or drags on too long.

They are notably dangerous using the Alekhine's Defense with a whopping 70.59% win rate and quite competent with the Bishop's Opening (59.38% win rate). If you see them launching one of these, better be ready for a tough fight!

Battle Record

• Rapid: 145 wins, 133 losses, and a few diplomatic draws (9)
• Blitz: A humble start with 0 wins and 4 losses — speed chess might just be 'not their thing'
• Bullet: 1 win, 2 losses, and 1 draw — proof that lightning-fast moves sometimes lead to... lightning-fast explosions.

Notable Streaks

Longest winning streak stands proudly at 9 games, matched by an equally dramatic 9-game losing streak. This just proves lupoc0 plays chess with a heartbeat — passion, persistence, and plenty of plot twists.

Timing is Everything

Surprisingly, 11:00 AM is their sweet spot — games played at this hour boast a perfect 100% win rate! Maybe coffee and chess are a magical combo. Late evenings (like 7 PM and 11 PM) also see respectable success rates (around 60%), so beware the night owl strikes.

Mental Fortitude

With a tilt factor of 9 (moderate grumpiness on losing streaks) and a comeback rate near 59%, lupoc0 battles back from setbacks with grit. Losing a piece? No problem — almost 43% of the time, they still find a way to claim victory.

Recent Epic Battles

Just recently, lupoc0 scored a brilliant checkmate victory against saravana3122, finishing the game with precise moves in a Grob Opening gambit. The final blow was a stunning queen-side sneak attack that left the opponent no room to breathe — checkmate in style!

On the flip side, the occasional tough loss to opponents like tree_enjoyer and xx0marxX reminds us that even the toughest wolves have their off nights.

In Summary

lupoc0 is a fighter who loves the game, not afraid to experiment with less common openings, and isn’t shy about admitting defeat early — only to come back stronger. Whether it’s a rapid marathon or bullet blitz, expect unpredictability, bold moves, and a dash of charm.

So next time you face lupoc0, prepare for a rollercoaster ride through the chessboard — and maybe bring a coffee or two. 🐺♟️
