Their rating graph reads like a thrilling rollercoaster — climbing steadily from a humble 411 in late 2024 to that peak, only to experience the humbling dips all great adventurers face.

Playing Style

A creature of habit in terms of resignation (about 2% early bows out), they play an average game of roughly 48 moves, demonstrating patience and persistence. White pieces tend to bring a touch more luck with a win rate nearing 48%, but Black is no slouch either, rocking a respectable 43% win rate.

With a comeback success rate of 64% after setbacks, lynx2708 turns adversity into opportunities — though losing a piece still puts the odds at a challenging 35% win rate post-capture. In true chess warrior fashion, they keep tilt to a minimum, maintaining a cool head with a tilt factor of only 6.
