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. On the flip side, perfect records against players like nonsooon show poln123 can be an unstoppable force at times.
Recent Match Highlight
One of poln123’s most recent victories was a quick and immaculate win against nonsooon in May 2025, wrapping up the game in just a single move: the classic 1. e4 e5 and immediate resignation by the opponent—perhaps they didn’t want to spoil the show?
In Summary
poln123 is a persistent, strategically patient, and sometimes unpredictable player who thrives in rapid chess. Their fighting spirit shines brightest in tough positions, making them a worthy adversary and a fascinating chess persona. Whether it's clawing back from adversity or delivering swift checkmates, poln123 brings excitement to the board each time.
So if you ever face poln123 over the virtual board, remember: behind that rating lies a player who never gives up, occasionally tries the weird openings, and always keeps things interesting!
