Malen24

Profile: Malen24

Meet Malen24, a chess virtuoso whose game is as dynamic and unpredictable as a thrilling mystery novel. Specializing in Bullet and Rapid formats, Malen24 has a peak Bullet rating of 403 and a Rapid rating soaring up to 516 as of mid-2025 — clearly proving skills sharper than a freshly honed knight fork.

With over 4,700 Bullet games played, this player has amassed an impressive 2,234 wins, although the losses (2,459) suggest a bold, never-back-down approach to the game. If term limits existed for resilience, Malen24 would be a grandmaster there too, sporting a commendable 76.17% comeback rate from losing positions! When Malen24 loses a piece, the fight is far from over, with nearly half those games turning into wins.

Opening Repertoire: Watching Malen24’s opening moves is like tuning into a magician’s show. Among favorites is the Modern Defense, wielded in over 882 Bullet battles with a solid ~56% win rate, followed closely by the Reti Opening (Kingside Fianchetto Variation) and a cheeky gamble with the Englund Gambit (a risky affair that wins about 42% of the time, but hey — fortune favors the brave!). In Blitz and Rapid, these openings remain the bread and butter, complemented by a surprisingly effective Queens Pawn and Van t Kruijs lines.

Despite some brutal matches in the Bullet frenzy, Malen24 is no stranger to finishing games with flair — boasting over 568 wins by checkmate and demonstrating a superb ability to turn games around at crunch time with an average of just 42 moves to victory.

Psychological Profile: Known to tilt only 18% of the time (pretty zen for the heat of live chess), Malen24 plays their best games around 7 PM — perhaps after a snack or two to fuel those brilliant endgame tactics. Interestingly, their games are quite balanced between White and Black, with nearly equal win rates, showing versatility across the board.

Fun fact: When facing opponents like calyalacki and mcrn23, Malen24 has a 100% win rate - talk about having nemeses wrapped around their rook! But watch out for ang_importante_mahalaga and u-m_r, who seem to have cracked the Malen24 code.
