Always Winning

Profile of Always Winning (aka NoThankYouG)

Meet NoThankYouG, a chess player whose username promises more wins than losses — and generally delivers a mixed bag of both, with some flair for drama along the way. Despite the moniker “Always Winning,” this player’s record reads like a rollercoaster ride at the amusement park of rapid chess, hovering around the mid-500s to 700s rating but never quite letting you get too comfortable.

Rating & Playstyle

Starting out with a peak rapid rating of 766 in early 2023, NoThankYouG has seen ebbs and flows in form, dropping to the mid-300s in 2025. Blitz and bullet? They dabble, scoring highs of 697 and 384 respectively, but rapid remains their playground of choice.

Known for an early resignation rate of nearly 22% (because sometimes it’s better to say “No, thank you” and fold early), they average around 49 moves to claim victory, showing endurance but maybe not the patience of a saint. Endgames come into play frequently, highlighting a willingness to fight till the bitter end or collapse spectacularly.

Opening Repertoire

The King's Pawn Opening leads their rapid arsenal with over 67 games logged, boasting a win rate just over 53%. They like mixing in the Pirc Defense — a tricky, less trodden path that yields slightly better success at 56%. If you see the Scandinavian Defense or Queen's Pawn Opening on the board, beware: the win rates aren’t exactly inspiring, hovering in the 20-40% range.

In blitz, their one game with the Caro Kann Defense was a perfect 100% win. Bullet is less kind, with only a single recorded game lost.

Battle Scars & Comebacks

Their win-loss ratio is a tough love story: 88 wins against 109 losses in rapid, showing plenty of battles fought and lessons learned. Sometimes the losing streak shows for up to 6 games straight — but so does the winning streak, proving resilience. Their tactical savvy shines brightest at comebacks, winning over 58% of the time after falling behind.

Against the Opponents

Notoriously problematic challengers like 26saurabhsingh have dominated their recent record, while others such as 007moonshine barely survived NoThankYouG’s rapidly whittling threats. The player racks up wins against a slew of lesser-known usernames with a cheeky 100% win rate, perhaps perfecting the art of selective mercy.

Quirky Details

• Best time to catch a NoThankYouG game? 6:00 AM — apparently chess and coffee make a dreamy combo.
• White pieces win rate stands at 47%, while playing Black yields a respectable 39%.
• When the going gets tough, about one-third of the time they lose badly without much fuss — but come back fighting more than half the time.
• With a tilt factor measured at 6, it’s clear that some losses sting more than others. But hey, who doesn’t throw a little tantrum after a blunder?

Last Notable Victory

Against 007moonshine on June 5, 2025, NoThankYouG demonstrated their trademark perseverance in a rapid game starting with the Queen's Pawn Opening - Accelerated London System. Their well-timed strikes and subtle tactical play forced a resignation at move 28 after a grueling 29-move battle. Proof that sometimes "No Thank You" means checkmate in style.

Summary

NoThankYouG embraces the drama and unpredictability of online chess with a fighting spirit, even if the nickname is more aspirational than literal. For every early resignation given with a cheeky nod, there is a daring comeback and a tactical battle fought tooth and nail. Whether you meet them on a Saturday morning or a Thursday evening, expect a player who is equally capable of blunders, brilliance, and keeping you on the edge of your seat.
