nemu2020: The Rapid Riser
Born from humble beginnings in the realm of online Rapid chess, nemu2020 has blossomed into a fierce competitor with a notable peak rating of 935 achieved in May 2025. Starting out cautiously at a modest 224 in late 2020, they swiftly climbed the ranks, relying heavily on savvy strategies and a charming knack for pulling off stunning comebacks.
Playing Style & Strengths
nemu2020 prefers the Rapid format, where patience and strategic depth pay off. With an impressive 65% win rate using the White pieces and nearly 68% when playing Black, they’re equally comfortable on both sides of the board. Average games are a thoughtful 50 moves, suggesting a player who loves both tactical fireworks and gritty endgame battles (which make up about 40% of their games).
Known for their tactical edge, nemu2020 boasts a comeback rate close to 48%, and when they lose a piece early, they still manage to snatch victory over half the time. Although they sometimes throw in the towel early (13% early resignations), their current winning streak may suggest they've toned down the drama.
Favorite Openings

- Queen's Pawn Opening (Chigorin Variation): A perfect 100% win rate over 4 games shows their mastery of this challenging flank.
- Englund Gambit: Against all odds, nemu2020 refuses to fear this adventurous gambit, scoring 3 wins with zero losses.

Head-to-Head and Recent Battles
