Profile: neonmag
Meet neonmag, a unique chess enthusiast whose rating journey has experienced more twists and turns than a knight on a chessboard. With a rapid rating peaking at 487 in 2022 and a blitz rating holding steady around 682, neonmag’s style is as lively and unpredictable as their username suggests.
Known for embracing the Queen's Pawn Opening with a particular fondness for the Chigorin Variation, where they boast an impressive 66.7% win rate, neonmag clearly has a penchant for lively, dynamic plays that keep opponents guessing. Their tactical awareness is top-notch, bouncing back from losing pieces with a remarkable 100% win rate after setbacks—clearly this player doesn’t just survive, they thrive in adverse conditions!
While their record shows a few challenging losses (16 in rapid, 4 in blitz), their resilience shines through with a comeback rate nearing 89%. neonmag’s style might be described biologically as a bit like a resilient bacteria—adapting, evolving, and surviving in the harshest of competitive environments.
With an endgame frequency of over 56%, neonmag enjoys those critical late-game battles. Their average game length hints at a thoughtful approach: wins tend to be hard-earned marathons averaging nearly 57 moves. However, they also know when to cut their losses early, with an early resignation rate of just 10%, sparing both themselves and their opponents unnecessary suffering.
Psychologically, neonmag has a low tilt factor of 4, proving they keep cool even when the heat is on. Though a flash of nerves might appear at times (not uncommon in humans!), their rated vs casual win difference of 30% suggests their competitive heart beats strongest when it matters most.
This player’s preferred battle times show interesting rhythms: peak success seems to strike around noon (a perfect 100% win rate at 12 PM!) and in the evenings at 7 and 10 PM, like a nocturnal creature coming alive as the day winds down.
Against opponents, neonmag finds some nemeses—Jard1234568 and hadang123 have proven tough nuts to crack—but also has sweet victories against boba8292 and tretep19, securing a confident 100% win rate against them. Their most played rival, low_owl, has kept them on their toes with only a 40% win rate by neonmag, showing that even the most glowing magnets have their opposing poles.
In short, neonmag is a spirited competitor, blending resilience, tactical cunning, and a touch of biological fortitude—truly a fascinating specimen in the wild ecosystem of chess players.
