Chess Biography: poln123

Meet poln123, a rapid chess warrior whose journey on the 64 squares has been nothing short of a rollercoaster ride, with thrilling victories, grim resilience, and enough setbacks to keep the opponent wary.

Rating and Progress

Starting off in 2021 with a humble Rapid rating hovering around 400, poln123 steadily climbed the ladder — peaking impressively at 618 in October 2024. That’s right, from modest beginnings to a peak that has turned heads and dropped jaws! Though Bullet chess might not be their playground—peaking only at 193 in early 2023—it’s clear Rapid is their kingdom.

Playing Style and Tendencies

With an average game length nearing 60 moves in wins, and 65 in losses, poln123 clearly prefers playing the long game — no quick tricks here. The early resignation rate of just over 5% shows some tenacity, but don't expect instant surrenders either. Their comeback rate is a staggering 75.69%, revealing that when the chips are down, poln123 is not done yet. They are brave enough to battle back even after losing material, although that win rate after losing a piece sits at a gritty 36%.

Interestingly, the psychological tilt factor is around 15%, which means sometimes emotions win the battle but not the war. Their best time to strike? Around 4 PM — so watch out during that magic hour!

Opening Repertoire

poln123 keeps it varied but favors the classic King's Pawn Opening with a solid 46% win rate, notably excelling in the King's Knight Variation (about 56% wins). Other beloved openings include the French Defense (50% win rate) and the slightly adventurous Van 't Kruijs Opening with a respectable 43% success rate.

Beware opponents facing poln123’s Scandinavian Defense: it’s a mixed bag with a 33% win rate, meaning surprise tactics await — or a trap! The quirky Bird's Opening seems less favored with a 18% win rate, but hey, experimenters keep the game lively.

Notable Streaks & Records

Every player loves streaks, and poln123’s longest winning streak is a nifty 7 games, although the longest losing streak has been a tough 15 – apparently chess can be a humbling teacher. Currently, there’s no active winning streak, but a single loss: time to bounce back stronger!

Opponent Highlights

poln123 has tangled with many regular opponents, although some less friendly than others. The record against urlodelsium32 is particularly tough with just over 5% wins, demonstrating that some rivalries can be brutal.
