Blitz at Heart
novebg is a tireless online chess competitor who has called the Blitz board home since 2012. With tens of thousands of games and a peak Blitz rating of 2415 (2026-04-21), novebg has climbed from rough early days into the upper ranks of online play. The preferred time control is clearly Blitz, where fast instincts and a quick mouse win the day. The same fighting spirit also shows up in Daily and Rapid chess, but the love affair with Blitz remains unmatched.
Repertoire and Style
As White, novebg is a loyal 1.e4 player. The Sicilian Defense appears constantly, and the Alapin Variation is the sharpest weapon in the box. As Black, there is no fear of the Ruy Lopez or the London System Poisoned Pawn lines. Attacks often begin with a queen check, as the queen is by far the most common checking piece in the player's games.
- High scoring with the Alapin in both Blitz and Daily chess.
- More comfortable with White, but the Black win rate stays above 54 percent.
- Rarely resigns early and excels at fighting back from worse positions.
Rivalries and Streaks
No player exists in a vacuum. Henrik Dalsgaard has faced novebg 561 times, a rivalry built on thousands of moves and plenty of late night battles. The head to head is nearly even, but jackweile has been a friendlier foe, giving novebg a comfortably positive record. A 22 game winning streak shows what happens when everything clicks.
Night Owl Notes
- Best winning rate by hour is at 00:00, with a perfect score in a small sample.
- Only around one percent of games end in early resignation, showing real fighting spirit.
- The comeback rate of 87 percent means the game is never over.
- Draws are surprisingly rare. Most games end decisively.
