Player Profile: qqvetka
Meet qqvetka, a rapid chess enthusiast whose rating rollercoaster could rival the wildest amusement park ride! With a peak rapid rating of 475 achieved in March 2025, qqvetka is not just a player but a relentless strategic fighter who knows how to balance brilliance and blunders with gusto.
Playing Style & Strengths
Preferring the Rapid time control, qqvetka is all about calculated risks and endurance. With an average game length hovering around 57 moves for wins, and typically managing to keep games alive deep into the endgame (over 51% endgame frequency), patience is a virtue that this player holds dear.
Their early resignation rate is a respectable 21.84% – meaning if the position looks grim, they’re not afraid to bow out gracefully rather than drag things out. But don’t let that fool you; with a remarkable come back rate of 60.45%, qqvetka knows how to turn tides and spark amazing recoveries when the odds appear stacked against them.
Favorite Openings
While qqvetka's opening repertoire shows a preference for some less-traveled paths, their signature move is the Nimzowitsch Larsen Attack, boasting the highest win rate among frequently played openings at an eye-popping 65.22%. They also dabble in other tricky lines like the Modern Defense and King's Fianchetto, though sometimes those games don’t go as smoothly (win rates in the 35-44% range there).
Battle Record
With nearly equal wins and losses in rapid chess (177 wins to 174 losses, and 19 draws), qqvetka shows an adventurous spirit on the board — neither content to just play it safe nor coward behind stalemates. Their longest winning streak is a solid 7 games, but they’ve endured a tough 11-game losing streak too. Currently on a positive note with a 1 game winning streak — momentum is definitively on their side.
Psychology & Timing
Ever the night owl or perhaps a frenetic evening warrior, qqvetka shines brightest at 21:00, posting a perfect 100% win rate in games played at that hour. With a tilt factor of only 11, this player resists frustration well, unless the opponent pulls out a sneaky checkmate — then all bets are off!
Memorable Moments
Recent victories showcase qqvetka’s tactical awareness, including a graceful win by resignation and a beautiful checkmate sealed with the Nimzowitsch Larsen Attack. Losses happen (even giants stumble), but don’t take it to heart; it’s all part of the epic journey upward in the rating ladder.
Fun Fact
If qqvetka were a chess piece, they'd be the knight—always jumping into unexpected positions, causing headaches for opponents, and sometimes getting tangled but never quite off the board for long.

Hi qqvetka! 📈
Great job keeping a positive attitude and racking up wins recently – you’re pushing toward your next milestone of 534 (2025-06-30) in the 10-minute pool. Below is some constructive feedback based on your latest games.
What you already do well
- Opening repertoire consistency. With White you feel at home in the Nimzowitsch-Larsen Attack (1 b3, 2 Bb2). Familiarity matters at this stage – your opponents often drift out of theory early and you get comfortable positions.
- End-game tenacity. In your win vs ask101966 you converted a pawn-up rook ending with accurate king marches (e.g. 43 a3, 50 Kxf5). Good technique!
- Clock management. You usually keep a 1–2 minute lead, giving you time to spot tactics when the game gets sharp.
Biggest improvement areas
-
Develop all your pieces (don’t “forget” the queenside).
In several games you re-cycled a single knight (e.g. Nf7–h8–f7) while your queenside pieces slept. Aim to bring both knights and both bishops out by move 10 whenever possible. -
Beware of early queen forays & weak dark squares as Black.
In the loss to Pupsik14041987 you allowed Qg4–e5–e7# because your king sat on e8 with undeveloped pieces and dark-square holes from g6 …Bg7 plus an early …Qf6. Try delaying fianchetto setups until you’ve played …d6/…e6 and …Nf6; keep the queen on d8 until the center is secure. -
Avoid pawn grabbing that opens files toward your king.
Example snippet (loss vs the_king_only):
After 20 …Rd1+ you landed in a mating net because earlier pawn captures (…exd3, …Qxd4) opened the d-file. Count attackers/defenders before taking material. -
Tactical alertness.
You occasionally miss one-move checks and forks (e.g. 22 Qa4+ c6 21 Qb4? Qh6! in the same game). Ten minutes is enough time – take a 3-second “blunder check” before every move.
Opening tips tailored to you
- As White: After 1 b3 e5 2 Bb2 Nc6 consider the principled 3 e3/3 c4 instead of 3 g3; it fights for the center sooner.
- As Black: Your Modern Defence with …g6 …Bg7 …Nh6 is playable, but at this level opponents attack quickly. A safer setup is the Classical Pirc move-order: …d6 …Nf6 …g6 …Bg7 (knight before bishop, queen stays home).
Training plan for the next two weeks
- Daily: 15 tactical puzzles focused on forks & mating nets.
- Play two rapid games, then spend 10 minutes each on self-analysis. Ask “Which undeveloped piece could I have activated?”
- Watch one short video on king safety or read the Principle of Two Weaknesses each weekend.
