Nguyen Hoang Nam (NO-REGRET)
FIDE Master Extraordinaire & Chess.com Bullet Beast
Nguyen Hoang Nam, also known by the fearsome and enigmatic username NO-REGRET, proudly holds the coveted title of FIDE Master. If chess was a ninja art, Nguyen would be the shadow that strikes silently and decisively.
Starting with a modest bullet rating of around 1400 in 2015, Nguyen didn't just climb the ladder; they practically rocketed through it, smashing past the 2600 rating mark in bullet chess by 2025. Talk about persistence—more than 25,000 wins in bullet games alone (yes, that many!).
When it comes to blitz, Nguyen is no less impressive, consistently maintaining ratings over 2600, with a stylish winning rate and a tactical playstyle that screams: "You just blundered, buddy." Their rapid games may be fewer, but every move counts—maxing out a near 1900 rating recently.
Openings Repertoire
- Bullet Favorite: Scandinavian Defense Mieses Kotrc Gubinsky Melts Defense—1519 wins out of 2807 games, holding a solid 54% win rate. It’s defense that melts opponents faster than ice cream on a summer sidewalk.
- Nimzowitsch Larsen Attack: Nguyen wields this opening like a seasoned sorcerer, with a near 60% win rate in over 2700 bullet games. That's some magic!
- English Opening Agincourt Defense in Blitz: With a 64% win rate, Nguyen's opponents often find themselves historically outmaneuvered.
Recent Triumphs & Trials
The latest feats include ruthless checkmates and strategic resignations from opponents in games with over 2600 ratings—no small feat! The opponent might as well resign before Nguyen even plays the next move, because chances are, the win is already sealed.
“NO-REGRET won by resignation” – a phrase that’s probably haunting many. Recently, Nguyen defeated VesnaTesting64 with a skillful mix of aggressive pawn pushes and capitalizing on tactical oversights in less than 25 moves.
Playing Style & Psychological Edge
With an astonishing 94% comeback rate and a 100% win rate after losing a piece, Nguyen shows a resilience that belongs in superhero comics. Only 1.02% early resignation rate? Never heard of it. Nguyen fights chess battles to the last move, juggling complex endgames with an average of 83 moves per win — patience and persistence personified.
Despite a tilt factor of 13 (we all have our days), this warrior thrives best on Saturday nights and early mornings when their win percentage sneaks over 58%. But beware, the 20:00 hour seems to be a time of challenge — just part of the heroic journey!
Fun Fact
Even Nguyen's username says it all — NO-REGRET. In chess and life, this player takes no backward steps, only forward tactics, strategic risks, and confident checkmates.
So if you ever face Nguyen Hoang Nam at the board, bring your best game or prepare to share your regrets!
Overall Performance
Nguyen Hoang Nam, your recent rapid games show a very positive trend with an adjusted win rate of about 67%. This indicates strong and consistent play against opponents of similar strength. Additionally, your rating has improved significantly by 82 points over the past month, and this progress is sustained over the 3 and 6 month periods, reflecting consistent growth in your skills.
Strengths
- Strong opening preparation, especially in popular openings like the Queen's Gambit Declined, Sicilian Defense, and Caro-Kann. Your ability to gain an advantage early sets a good foundation.
- Effective battlefield control by coordinating pieces well, as demonstrated by your aggressive play and exchanges in middlegame scenarios.
- Good endgame technique, capitalizing on passed pawns and activating your king properly, leading to decisive victories.
- Your games show good time management, balancing between careful calculation and maintaining enough time to think through critical moments.
Areas for Improvement
- There were losses in some games where early opening skirmishes decided the fate quickly, for example against the French Defense where the game ended almost immediately. Studying and preparing the specific lines of these openings could help prevent early setbacks.
- In complex tactical positions, there were opportunities for improving defensive play or anticipating opponent's threats, which can reduce the frequency of resignations.
- Sometimes precision in converting winning positions can be improved, especially when simplifying into endgames. Practicing concrete endgames and visualization might help.
Suggested Focus for Training
- Deepen understanding in openings where you faced early losses, like the French Defense and Caro-Kann, to avoid early disadvantages.
- Practice tactics regularly, concentrating on defensive motifs and counter-attacks to better handle sharp positions.
- Enhance endgame skills by studying key theoretical endgames and practicing converting material advantages.
- Analyze your losing games in detail to identify specific moments that shifted the balance and try alternative moves or strategies.
Encouragement
Your progress over the past months is impressive, and maintaining this upward trajectory will continue to improve your competitive play. Keep focusing on learning from each game, and balancing between opening knowledge and endgame technique will serve you well in your next steps.
