Profile Summary: nian667

Meet nian667, a chess enthusiast whose journey resembles a rollercoaster ride through the kingdom of 64 squares. With a peak rapid rating of 358 achieved in October 2024, nian667 has shown flashes of brilliance — unfortunately, sometimes tempered by a healthy dose of humility courtesy of the occasional loss streak (yes, the longest was 6, but who's counting?).

Playing mostly rapid games, nian667 has battled fiercely in 77 rapid games in October 2024 alone, with an almost heroic 34 wins, but 40 losses reminding us all that even chess warriors have off days. The current streak might not be sparkling, but every grandmaster was once a beginner with a few setbacks!

Opening Choices & Style

nian667 loves to shake things up early — a fondness for the King's Pawn Opening, especially the King's Knight Variation, and a surprising knack for the Nimzowitsch Defense with a respectable 62.5% win rate in that opening. Caution is thrown to the wind with gambits like the Englund Gambit, and there's a soft spot for classic Bishop’s Openings too.

Fans of slow, grinding battles take note: nian667 averages about 40 moves when winning, and even more (around 46!) when losing. So expect long, thoughtful games, not hasty checkmates. Current win rates hover around 43% playing white and a modest 37.5% with black, proving there's potential yet to be unlocked.

Tactical Brilliance & Resilience

Coming back from behind is clearly nian667’s specialty — boasting an impressive 58% comeback rate after losing material. This player doesn’t give up easily and knows how to keep the game interesting.

However, the tilt factor of 6 suggests some moments of frustration pepper the journey, which is only natural for a passionate gamer fighting to climb the ranks. One-sided losses are rare, indicating that when nian667 loses, it’s usually not a total blowout.

When to Catch nian667 in Action

If you want to challenge or cheer for nian667, mornings are prime time, especially around 7 AM, when the win rate is highest. Late nights are also fruitful (23:00 boasts almost 54% wins!), possibly fueled by coffee or sheer stubbornness.

Notable Recent Battles

In one recent victory against popsam1010, nian667 skillfully used the King’s Pawn Opening (King’s Knight Variation), forcing resignation in a tactical battle that showcased strategic sacrifices and tactical precision.

On the flip side, losses to players like Hacktake demonstrate the fierce competition out there and serve as a reminder: in chess, every defeat is a lesson.
