Player Profile: lyasold

Meet lyasold, the Rapid time control enthusiast known for a rollercoaster ride through the chessboard! Starting off in 2022 with a peak rapid rating of 1000, lyasold’s journey has been nothing short of a chess soap opera, filled with dramatic wins, tough losses, and the occasional draw to keep things interesting.

Blessed (or cursed) with an Early Resignation Rate of just about 2.6%, lyasold doesn’t quit easily—except maybe when the opponent plays the Englund Gambit (those never ended well). Endgames are lyasold’s playground with an enviable 50.75% frequency, proving that the fight till the 64th square is real.

Playing Style & Highlights

• Known for a cautious start with the average first capture move around 6.4, lyasold prefers to size up before committing.
• White pieces wield a modest 32% win rate, while black edges slightly better at 36%, so nothing beats the thrill of the underdog.
• The longest winning streak? A proud 3 games. The longest losing streak? Let’s just say 6 lessons learned the hard way.

Opponents beware: lyasold boasts some solid victories against usernames like jhoens666 and adityamaheshwari1. But there are some nemeses yet to be conquered—looking at you, mohafks and hallaj1987.

Opening Preferences

From the King’s Pawn Opening to the mysterious depths of the Scandinavian Defense and the legendary Alekhine’s Defense, lyasold experiments with a diverse opening repertoire—though some, like the Englund Gambit and French Defense, have been less than kind.

Memorable Moment

Noteworthy is a recent thrilling win via checkmate in the Vienna Game: Max Lange Fyfe Gambit, showcasing lyasold’s ability to combine aggression and precision:

This victory epitomizes lyasold's fighting spirit, creativity, and determination to deliver killer combos.

Fun Fact

If chess had a “tilt factor”, lyasold rolls with a modest 6 — enough to keep things spicy but not enough to rage quit the board. Best time to surprise opponents? At 11:00 AM, apparently when coffee and cunning align perfectly.

So here’s to lyasold: the cunning, the persistent, the checkerboard gladiator not afraid to experiment, adapt, and sometimes spectacularly explode. Keep your eyes peeled, because every match with lyasold is a story waiting to unfold!
