Yoan N. (NYoan31) - The Charming Chess Challenger

Meet Yoan N., who prefers the enigmatic handle NYoan31 in the chess world. A rapid chess enthusiast, Yoan has been making waves in 2025 with a rating that climbed from a modest 228 all the way up to a solid peak of 453 – a trajectory as thrilling as his games!

Journey Through the Ranks

Starting out with an average Rating of about 375 in March and steadily improving, Yoan's dedication is evident in every move. By May, he was rocking a rapid rating of 435 and showing no signs of slowing down. Across 232 rapid games, Yoan holds a respectable record of 119 wins, 108 losses, and 5 draws. Not everyone is born a grandmaster, but with that kind of fight in him, he might just convince them otherwise!

Opening Repertoire: Secrets and Surprises

Yoan’s most played opening is intriguingly dubbed "Top Secret" with over 200 games and a near 51% win rate. Could it be a mysterious, unheard-of gambit or just his crafty way of keeping opponents guessing? When he’s feeling bold, he turns to the Pirc Defense Modern Defense Geller System and the Colle System, boasting a perfect 100% success in a couple of games each. Poor Alekhine's Defense though—Yoan hasn't had much luck there yet.

Thrills and Chills: Streaks and Comebacks

With a longest winning streak of 7 games and a not-so-glamorous longest losing streak of 8 games, Yoan is no stranger to the emotional rollercoaster of chess. But his ability to bounce back is impressive, with a comeback rate of nearly 71%. Yes, he sometimes tilts (about 8 on the tilt factor scale), but who doesn’t when a knight jumps where it shouldn’t?

Style of Play and Psychology

Preferring longer battles in the endgame (appearing in 49.57% of his games), Yoan isn’t the type to resign early unless absolutely forced—though he has an early resignation rate of 11.11%. His average game length is a cozy 45 moves when he wins, stretching longer when he doesn’t. He loves playing as White, winning at a respectable 56.14%, but he’s no pushover when playing Black either.

Fun fact: Yoan’s best time to shine is at 8 AM, with a remarkable 100% win rate at 8:00 AM. Perhaps the early bird truly catches the chess worm!

Recent Battles

In his latest triumph, Yoan executed a spectacular checkmate with the Bishops Opening Berlin Defense, proving he's not just about steady incremental gains but also sharp tactical prowess.
Less fortunate was a recent game against Gerardore123, employing the Alekhine's Defense, where Yoan had to swallow a tough resignation. But hey, even legends have their off days!

Who Are Yoan's Arch-Rivals?

NYoan31 has locked horns multiple times with players like jadenitex and princessofsweden, equally matched and fiercely competitive. Interestingly, Yoan has a 100% winning record against tough opponents like sergey17072001 and talksick_xylox—a clear sign of tactical dominance!

The Legend Continues

Yoan N. might not be a grandmaster YET, but with such an intriguing blend of mysterious openings, solid rapid rating growth, and notable comebacks, chess aficionados better keep an eye on NYoan31. Watch out for those “Top Secret” moves—they just might checkmate your expectations!
