ndr232: The Journey of a Resilient Tactician

Meet ndr232, a Rapid and Blitz enthusiast whose chess rating resembles a rollercoaster, but with more thrilling dips than dizzying climbs. Holding a peak Rapid rating of just over 1000 and Blitz at a sprightly 317, ndr232 is a player who embraces the chaos of the board with a grin — and occasionally a long losing streak (the longest hit 14 games, but who's counting?).

Playing Style & Personality

Known for an endgame-centric approach, ndr232 often prolongs battles on the 64 squares with an average of about 47 moves before victory and 60 moves before defeat. With an early resignation rate shy of 10%, they occasionally admit defeat but always with dignity. Their comeback rate is a respectable 60.7%, showing that when pushed to the ropes, ndr232 pulls off some surprising escapes. However, the one-sided loss rate creeps up to nearly 11%, proving the board can sometimes get the better of them.

The psychological tilt factor sits at a modest 14, which translates to a craving for revenge after tough losses that fuels their fire. Their best battlefield hour is just after sunrise at 11:00 — proving that this player is a morning strategist who attacks with fresh eyes.

Opening Choices: A Mix of Experimentation and Bravery

ndr232's opening preferences read like a fearless explorer's map. The Van t Kruijs Opening yields their best win rate in Rapid (33%), while the fearsome King's Pawn Opening brings no wins out of nine attempts — because why pick the easy path? Not to mention the brave forays into the Scandinavian Defense and other rarely trodden lines like the Englund Gambit Mosquito Gambit, which has even brought thrilling results.

Record Highlights & Rivalries

With 24 wins in 93 Rapid games and a Blitz record of 4 wins out of 14, it’s clear this player fights hard for every point. The most played opponent is guardianofh3ll, though victories have been elusive there. That said, ndr232 shows impressive dominance against opponents like bits_22, firepraf, and johnjones1437, boasting 100% win rates — a true virtuoso when the stars align.

Memorable Moment: The Checkmate That Worked

The crowning gem in ndr232's recent campaigns happened on May 26, 2025. In a rapid game against newsuccer with both players racing against the clock, ndr232 delivered a swift checkmate in 10 moves.

In Summary

ndr232 may not yet be the grandmaster on everyone’s lips, but their tenacity, comeback spirit, and willingness to embrace a wide array of openings make them a fascinating player to watch. Whether thriving in the early morning hours or navigating a tough losing streak, ndr232 proves chess is as much about character as it is about calculation.
