About Mircea N.

Mircea, known in the chess world as neamircea, is a passionate player who has been weaving tactical webs and strategic traps on the virtual chessboard since 2008. With a peak Daily rating soaring just above 2000 in mid-2009, Mircea once danced gracefully on the edge of expert territory, having moments when the pieces did exactly what they were told (mostly).

This player’s journey has been one of epic highs and intriguing lows—from hitting a peak blitz rating of 1358 to the rollercoaster ride of daily ratings fluctuating around the 1000 mark in recent years. Mircea’s style combines patience with tactical awareness, boasting a commendable 64.7% comeback rate; if a piece is lost, don’t count Mircea out—she or he often fights back. Though the tilt factor hovers around 28%, moments of frustration are often resolved by hitting the “new game” button and diving back in.
