Chess Profile: Lykia1337

Meet Lykia1337, the fearless Rapid chess warrior whose games make you wonder if their true strategy is to test the resilience of opponents (and themselves). With a peak Rapid rating of 982 achieved in September 2023, Lykia1337 displays a bold journey through chess battles filled with gutsy plays, dramatic comebacks, and, well... many, many learning opportunities!

Rating Rollercoaster

In the fast-paced world of Rapid chess, Lykia1337’s rating has dipped from a thunderous 982 down to about 201 in early 2024, proving that the path to glory is anything but linear. Across 80+ intense games, the win tally stands at 14 against 66 losses—proof that every defeat is just a rehearsal for a spectacular future win.

Their finest moments came using the fascinating and sometimes unruly Alekhine’s Defense, holding a respectable ~33% win rate there, but also bravely confronting classics like the King’s Pawn Opening and Scandinavian Defense despite the odds. Clearly, Lykia1337 isn't afraid to tango with the bravest chess openings!

Playing Style & Quirks

• Early Resignation Rate: A bold 31.82% - patience is a virtue, but sometimes it's just more fun to jump to the next battle.
• Average Moves: Wins come quickly with around 15.5 moves on average, but losses can stretch out to a grueling 30+ moves. Stamina is tested, and so is the opponent’s patience.
• Comeback Specialist: Although comebacks happen only 21.43% of the time, when they do, they’re the stuff of legend (or at least memorable surprises).
• White vs Black: White pieces bring a slightly better fortune (~21% wins) than Black (~14%), proving the old adage “first move matters” tends to hold true for Lykia1337.

Memorable Battles & Rivals

The most fierce rivalry is with mertcakirel — a staggering 28 games played with only 2 wins. Talk about endurance! Meanwhile, mysterious opponents like theo28392 and mohamed0100800 have been gently reminded who’s boss, with perfect win records against them.

Clock-wise, the prime zone for conquest is 3 PM, when Lykia1337’s brain apparently fires on all cylinders. Avoid Thursdays though—zero wins there, looks like Thursdays might be their “chess vacation” days.

Highlight Reel: The Most Recent Win

One cannot forget the lightning victory against theo28392 on January 31, 2024, where a crafty early knight maneuver (1. Na3 2. Nf3 3. Ng5) led to a rapid checkmate and a resignation from the opponent. Feel free to admire this swift finesse:

In Conclusion

Lykia1337 is a true embodiment of the spirit of chess: brave, persistent, and never backing down—even if it means braving a 15-game losing streak or resigning early to keep the drama alive. Whether storming through openings or honing endgame techniques, this player’s journey is one to watch. After all, every chess master was once merely a beginner who refused to stop clicking those pieces.
