noelvantrirum - Chess Enthusiast and Reluctant Resigner
Noelvantrirum is a chess player with a rollercoaster history on the 64 squares, specializing in blitz, rapid, and bullet games. With a peak blitz rating of 1408 (February 2025), rapid rating cresting at an impressive 1494 (February 2024), and bullet rating soaring to 1468 (January 2024), they clearly know their way around a chessboard. Daily chess? Sure, but more of a fond nostalgia with a personal best rating of 1200 back in 2015.
Rise, Fall, and Tactical Comedy
The journey hasn't always been smooth. Noelvantrirum is no stranger to ups and downs—boasting a longest winning streak of 12 games but also enduring a dreaded 30-game losing streak. If chess were a soap opera, this saga would have plot twists aplenty. But resilience shines through with a striking 77% comeback rate, proving that even when down a piece, this player fights fiercely rather than resigning to doom.
Playing Style & Quirks
Averaging around 60 moves per win, noelvantrirum enjoys the strategic marathons more than quick knockouts. They favor meticulous endgames (56.93% of their games) and prefer daylight battles, with a surprising tilt towards early morning chess (the best time to play is around 2 AM!). When it comes to colors, white pieces have a slight edge with a 51.25% win rate, while black pieces keep things exciting at 46.71%. And beware their early resignation rate hovering just under 5% — sometimes surrendering quickly, but often with theatrical flair.
Opening Secrets (Top Secret!)
Although noelvantrirum lists their most played opening as "Top Secret," they once masterfully wielded the Sicilian Defense Smith-Morra Gambit Accepted with a full-house win in a dramatic 22-move match that ended in resignation by their opponent. It's their secret sauce — aggressive, daring, and occasionally leaving opponents wondering, “Wait, is that even legal?”
Opponent Relations
Known rivals include blandneptune and slechteschaker123, but interestingly, noelvantrirum holds a remarkable 55% win rate against blandneptune, proving they can turn the tides on familiar foes. Some opponents escape their grasp entirely—it's a chess-life drama filled with triumphs, frustrations, and the occasional “Why did I do that?” moment.
Noteworthy Games
Recent Victory Highlight: On June 2nd, 2025, playing black against dab91, noelvantrirum sealed a win in just 22 moves with the Smith-Morra Gambit Accepted. This game, full of tactical motifs and a well-timed resignation, perfectly encapsulates their fighting spirit.

Final Thoughts
Noelvantrirum is the quintessential chess adventurer: not afraid to dive into long endgames, relish the tactical battles of blitz, or occasionally throw in the towel with style. Whether waking up at 2 AM to outwit opponents or inviting them into a tightening web of strategy, this player’s journey is anything but dull. The 64 squares are their playground, their battleground, and their comedy stage.
