Profile Summary: Noy (aka Nick2352)

While Noy's bullet and blitz ratings might sound like background music (peaking at 277 and 706 respectively), it's clear rapid is where the magic happens — and boy, does it happen in style!

Noy's games are known for their longevity—an average of about 55 moves for both wins and losses—showing a gritty struggle to the very end. Known for a remarkable comeback rate of 75%, Noy never says die and often snatches victory from the jaws of defeat. Although the tilt factor is a modest 7, legend has it that Noy’s coffee intake goes up during those moments.
