Meet niels-der-best-im-game, a chess enthusiast whose rating graph resembles the twists and turns of a knight’s journey — unpredictable but full of character. With a peak rapid rating hovering around 1353 in 2024 and a challenging road ahead in 2025, Niels is a true warrior of the 64 squares, navigating the battlefield with a mix of perseverance and humor.
Though sometimes inclined to early resignations (~32%), niels shows remarkable resilience, boasting a 43% comeback rate and a perfect 100% win rate after losing a piece — practically the Lazarus of chessboards. With an average win spanning 45 moves, patience is clearly a mate in his strategy; though losses tend to be shorter, a quick checkmate or a swift surrender.
His style leans into frequent endgames (36%), proving he’s not just about flashy openings but willing to grind through till the bitter biological endgame — like a cell stubbornly dividing to survive! That said, white pieces bring more success (26% win rate) compared to black (12%), highlighting Niels’ preference for starting the cellular war.
Opponents beware: niels holds a perfect 100% win record against dodisembiring, kevintien2k9, and several others — these adversaries might be on the endangered species list. Meanwhile, his most frequent rival, kingjolh, keeps Niels on his toes, with a 40% win rate to balance the scales. The days of the week tell an interesting tale — Tuesdays shine bright with a 64% win rate, suggesting that’s when niels’ mitochondria really fire up.
Despite a rating dip in recent bullet and blitz games, niels’ humor and persistent spirit keep the game alive — after all, every chess player knows that even if your pawns get “killed,” you can always pawn your way back!
Whether you're looking for a fierce competitor or just a worthy pun opponent, niels-der-best-im-game is a marvelous blend of tactical grit and cheeky biology-inspired wit. Stay tuned — this player’s journey is far from over, and every new game is one more cell division closer to greatness!
