Numer012

Profile Summary: Numer012

Meet Numer012, a daring Rapid chess aficionado whose journey through 2025 has been nothing short of a rollercoaster. With a peak rating of 978 achieved in March, this player has shown flashes of brilliance mixed with the classic ups and downs of a passionate battler.

Known for embracing variety, Numer012's repertoire includes the King's Pawn Opening - King's Knight Variation, the sneaky Alekhine's Defense, and a respectable fondness for the Petrov's Defense Classical Variation, where their win rate climbs admirably over 58%. However, don't be fooled — Numer012 is no stranger to experimenting with less conventional choices like the Van't Kruijs Opening and the Philidor Defense, showing a taste for complexity and surprise.

With 167 wins, 179 losses, and 42 draws in Rapid battles, Numer012 embodies the true spirit of chess: relentless effort and learning from every game. Their longest winning streak of 10 games hints at the potential lurking within, while the current three-game losing streak humorously reminds us that even heroes need a coffee break.

Playing Style & Personality

Numer012's games feature an average move count in the 50s to 60s, indicating a taste for long struggles rather than quick skirmishes. Notable is their impressive 69.5% comeback rate — a testament to their fighting spirit and refusal to give up, even when pieces go missing.

Interestingly, early resignations happen only in about 4.5% of games, proving that Numer012 prefers to endure until the very last move — perhaps for the thrill, or maybe just stubbornness.

In the latest victory, Numer012 showcased skill and patience in a tense Scandinavian Defense game, winning by forcing resignation after a subtle yet relentless pressure buildup. This win is a fine example of tactical awareness meeting strategic calm.

Not all battles end in triumph, though. Even the best have tough days — Numer012's last loss was an intense Vienna Game clash where they fought hard but eventually succumbed to a crafty opponent.

In Conclusion
