Profile Summary: notrella

Meet notrella, the relentless chess enthusiast whose journey on the 64 squares resembles a rollercoaster ride—often thrilling, sometimes bumpy, but always entertaining!

Starting with a promising blitz peak rating of 1178 in early 2020, notrella has since been navigating the chess battlefield with a mix of fiery attacks, strategic retreats, and the occasional humble resignation. While the blitz rating took a dip to the 500-600 range, their rapid play flourished impressively, peaking near the 1180 mark in late 2021 and maintaining solid competition with an average hovering around the 900s in recent years.

Known for a delightfully stubborn style, notrella manages an early resignation rate of just 3.46%, preferring to wrestle through labyrinthine endgames. With an average game length of roughly 61 moves for wins, and even longer for losses, this player embodies endurance over quick fixes. Their endgame passion shines with a 65% frequency—a true heavyweight bout rather than a lightning punch.

Notrella’s tactical awareness is no joke: boasting a comeback rate close to 70%, they have a knack for clawing back even after losing material, inspiring hope in all underdogs! Still, sometimes that pesky longest losing streak of 10 games reminds us this isn’t all sunshine and perfect play.

Openness to experimenting is part of their charm—dabbling in openings ranging from the Sicilian Defense (where they scored a flawless 100% win rate in limited games!) to the Queens Pawn and Italian Game. No surprise that many victories come from challenging those familiar with their style: opponents named gatosinbo76 or tryharder8 see a win rate of over 60%.

Game time tactics? Morning at 9 AM seems to be their sweet spot, with a win rate peaking at 66.67%, proving that not everyone is a night owl. Still, don’t try to catch them at 11 AM—that hour’s a notorious zero-percent zone for wins.

Notrella’s track record tells a story of persistence over instant glory, a player who is just as happy delivering a sneaky checkmate as they are learning from a hard-fought loss. Their recent victories exhibit sharp calculation and creativity, checkmating opponents with style after well-maneuvered battles.

In the end, notrella is proof that in chess, as in life, it's less about the rating and more about the journey. The battles fought, lessons learned, and laughs shared over missed forks and overlooked pins all make this player a beloved part of the chess community.
