M L

Profile Summary: M L (aka pckbqk)

Meet M L, the seasoned blitz and rapid chess warrior with a rating rollercoaster that would envy any thrill-seeker! Starting from humble beginnings in 2013 with a blitz rating around 1350, M L’s journey is a testament to grit, perseverance, and apparently enjoying the heartbreaks as much as the wins. Peaking at an impressive 1832 in blitz and sneaking up to 1937 in rapid by early 2023, M L embodies the chess player's rollercoaster—slightly more ups than downs, but never boring!

With nearly 5,000 blitz wins and over 3,000 rapid victories (plus just a few more losses to keep things interesting), pckbqk plays a style that mixes patience with tactical flair: averaging over 70 moves per win shows this player prefers to take the scenic route rather than quick checkmates. However don’t be fooled by the gradual approach; M L’s comeback rate is a staggering 89.73%, proving that when the going gets tough, the tough get tactical!

Speaking of tactics, M L’s best moments are often found opening with the enigmatic Top Secret opening, amassing a near even win rate around 49%, though a daring Unknown Opening approach keeps opponents guessing and on edge. When the game comes to an end, M L often prefers a graceful exit, resigning only about 0.19% early — apparently, patience is a virtue, but no one likes wasting time!

Psychologically speaking, M L has a tilt factor of 12, which means even when frustrated, they rarely lose their cool—unless maybe it’s after a 12-game losing streak and their current losing streak of six games! The best time for them to play their magic? Apparently around 9 AM, when opening the brain’s chess engine to maximum efficiency.
