Profile Summary: nolanpin30

Meet nolanpin30, a chess aficionado who’s definitely still figuring out if that pesky king move on turn 3 is a brilliant ploy or a dramatic cry for help. Known in blitz circles for starting strong but then mysteriously letting the rating dip like a rollercoaster that hasn't got its brakes firmly on, Nolan's peak blitz rating soared to a dazzling 304 in March 2025 — a score that could probably put fear into pawns anywhere.

While rapid and bullet might not be Nolan’s comfort zones (peaking at modest 118 and 100 respectively), blitz is where the magic — and the chaos — happens. With a current winning streak of 2 and a longest winning streak of 6, Nolan has proven that streaks can be as unpredictable as the rogue knight out for adventure. Also worth noting: the longest losing streak also clocks in at 6, so balance is clearly key.

Playing Style & Preferences

Nolan tends to resign early about one in five games — call it an efficient avoidance of needless heartache. Endgames are a comfortable playground, appearing in nearly 45% of games, with wins coming by an average of 39 moves, showing a knack for grinding opponents down without too much rush. When the going gets tough, Nolan’s comeback rate is impressively almost 60%, proving resilience against adversity.

Favorite openings? The Scandinavian Defense seems to be Nolan's trusty shield in blitz — wielded in 23 games with a solid 56.5% win rate. Nolan also wields the Sicilian Defense and King's Pawn Opening King's Knight Variation like true blades, undefeated in these short but sharp skirmishes. However, the "Mieses Kotrc Variation" of the Scandinavian Defense has exposed the Achilles heel with just under 17% success, suggesting a particular nemesis lurking there.

Notable Records & Rivalries

Nolan’s win rates against recent opponents are an exciting mixed bag, boasting 100% victories over players like syamilmikael, tadjiyevgafur, and abishree24, while grappling with others such as sam15042003 and namagame who hold a not-so-friendly 0%. It seems that some rivalries are more fierce than others!

Best Time To Play

Chess at noon? Yes, please! Nolan peaks at 13:00 hours with a perfect (100%) win rate in this golden hour of chess enlightenment. Contrast that with a rather gloomy 0% around 21:00 — maybe it’s time to call it a day before the brain starts leaking pawns.

Gear Up for Some Tactical Drama

Despite an early resignation rate of about 20%, Nolan’s tactical awareness shines with a comeback rate of nearly 60%, suggesting a player who’s not easily beaten and ready to claw back from the brink. And when losing a piece? Expect determined fights, with a 34% win rate after such setbacks. It’s like a chess soap opera where every piece lost is just the start of a dramatic comeback!

Recent Highlights

The latest masterpiece was a swift checkmate delivered on June 7, 2025, using a tricky Sicilian Defense approach that left the opponent stunned and the king visibly embarrassed (ECO B20). Nolan’s penchant for turning openings into tactical playgrounds really keeps opponents on their toes.
