Ncole-B

Player Profile: Ncole-B

Meet Ncole-B, the Rapid aficionado whose chess journey in 2025 has been nothing short of a rollercoaster ride through the ranks. With a peak Rapid rating of 329 achieved in March 2025, Ncole-B blends strategic cunning with a relentless appetite for the game.

Known for a unique opening repertoire dominated by the mysteriously named Top Secret (no, seriously, it’s a thing!), Ncole-B has played this opening over 1300 times — talk about dedication! Though the win rate hovers just shy of 40%, it’s clear our player enjoys a challenge and isn’t afraid to tango with more aggressive openings like the King's Pawn and the enigmatic Nimzowitsch Larsen Attack, where the win rate peaks above 50%.

When the clock ticks, Ncole-B tends to prefer Rapid games — amassing over 3,000 games in 2025 alone — with an overall record leaning slightly truthfully towards more losses than wins (908 wins vs. 1359 losses). Don’t tell anyone, but our player’s tactical awareness includes a respectable 48.68% comeback rate, proving that sticking in there and fighting back is part of the game plan.

Fun fact: Ncole-B often shines brightest in the dead of night with an incredible 60.38% win rate at midnight and enjoys the early morning golden hours as well. There’s a bit of a tilt factor at 13%, meaning the player might occasionally swear at the board — or maybe just the coffee machine.

Ncole-B’s style is a patient one, with an average of ~38 moves both in wins and losses, indicating a preference for battles of attrition rather than flashy early wins. Resignation is a frequent guest — Ncole-B doesn’t like to drag on hopeless positions, respectfully conceding 1010 losses by resignation but managing to resign while winning 689 times (a paradox or love for sportsmanship? You decide).

Recent Battles

In a recent Rapid encounter, Ncole-B dazzled with the Van Geet Opening, leading to a swift victory over a higher-rated opponent despite a comedic rating difference (145 vs. 566). It seems sometimes chess isn’t just about rating—a little panache goes a long way!

Of course, the path isn’t always smooth — recent losses include a clash versus GioIsAmazing using the Vienna Game, reminding our player that every queen’s gambit has a gambit of its own.

In Summary

Is Ncole-B a grandmaster in the making? Maybe. Or maybe an unstoppable midnight warrior, armed with quirky openings, a stubborn spirit, and a penchant for comebacks. Whatever the future holds, this player proves that chess is as much about character as it is about calculation.
