Playing Style

onoraim is a curious blend of patience and tactical awareness. With an endgame frequency over 56%, this player loves dragging opponents into those long, nerve-wracking finales where every move counts. The comeback rate is a heroic 80.6%, proving that giving up is simply not in their chess vocabulary.

The slightly higher success rate playing black (49.2%) over white (43.95%) indicates that onoraim might be the type who enjoys a first-move challenge and then steals the show with cunning counterattacks. And those early resignations? Only about 11%, which means most games are fought to the bitter end!

Favourite Openings

Variety is the spice of life for onoraim, with a preference for the Van 't Kruijs Opening—a somewhat offbeat choice with a win rate of around 40%. Other openings in onoraim’s arsenal include the King's Pawn Opening (winning over half their games!) and the Pirc Defense, showing a fondness for solid, flexible structures.

Time to Shine

Chess battles fought just after midnight seem to be when onoraim is at their absolute best — with a perfect 100% win rate at 1 AM. Late night owl or just peaked caffeine levels? Either way, an impressive nocturnal striker!

Memorable Games

Recently, onoraim snatched a clever win against az_dzrcm by turning the tables mid-game, capitalizing on a crucial blunder to checkmate in record time. Although sometimes the chess gods frown, as seen in losses like the thrilling checkmate against Matte0tr4ve, onoraim never fails to keep the audience entertained.

Personality on the Board

While not yet a grandmaster, onoraim’s journey is one of determination, learning, and fun. Whether fumbling with the Van t Kruijs or rallying in an Endgame marathon, this player’s path is a reminder that chess is as much about the journey as the checkmate. Expect surprising moves, occasional heartbreak, and a steady climb up the rating ladder. Maybe one day, onoraim will break 700 — and if not, at least there’s always 1 AM for some midnight magic!
