Profile: neves72
Meet neves72, a resilient and spirited chess adventurer whose journey on the 64 squares is nothing short of a rollercoaster. Starting with humble beginnings, their rating soared from a modest 397 in late 2020 to a peak daily rating of 1283 by August 2024 — a testament to tenacity and countless hours pondering over clever tactics (and maybe a few coffee spills).
Known for an aggressive and precise style, neves72 has a unique affection for the King's Pawn Opening, King's Knight Variation, boasting a perfect 100% win rate in this opening over 13 games. Other favorites like the Italian Game Two Knights and the Slav Defense show impressive win rates above 70%, proving neves72 isn’t just a one-trick pony but a versatile strategist.
With over 129 wins and a solid collection of 91 losses in daily games, this player dances on the edge of victory and defeat with a fearless attitude, rarely resigning early and often clawing back into games thanks to an amazing comeback rate of 55.73%. If there's a piece lost, neves72 doesn't fold easily either, winning nearly half the time afterward.
Favorites among opponents? Well, neves72 has a particular knack for dominating seneca777 with an 83.87% win rate — clearly not someone to invite to a rematch! Yet, hhaller88 seems to be a nemesis with a frustratingly low win rate of under 3%.
Clock management? Neves72 shows a mysterious preference for morning battles — especially sharp at 7 AM where the win rate soars to 100% in some hours — while 3 AM and 4 AM also bring perfect success. Perhaps the secret lies in those early hours when the brain is fresh and the coffee strong.
Psychological profile suggests a slight tendency to tilt when things go sideways (tilt factor at 11), but a dependable spirit — after all, with a longest winning streak of 11 games, neves72 clearly knows how to ride the highs. Endgames are a playground too, occurring in over half the games and clearly a strength given the winning records.
Recent battles have seen neves72 deliver some sharp victories by checkmate and resignation alike — favoring strategic precision over time scrambles. A recent shining game on May 16, 2025, ended in glorious checkmate using the King's Pawn Opening, flaunting neves72’s tactical prowess. But even when setbacks come, like losses in the Scandinavian Defense, there’s never a dull moment.
In sum, neves72 is a gritty, evolving player who fights smart, loves classical openings, and keeps a resilient, never-say-die attitude on the chessboard. Expect thrilling games, moments of brilliance, and the occasional joyful blunder — because, after all, that’s what makes chess fun!
“In chess and life, it’s not just about the pieces you capture, but the battles you refuse to surrender.” — probably neves72’s motto
