Meet samlaniakea: The Cosmic Chess Navigator

In the vast cosmos of chess players, samlaniakea shines like a pulsar, combining relentless curiosity with a calculating mind that’s anything but microscopic.

Since the dawn of 2020, samlaniakea has evolved through multiple time controls, from the rapid clicks of Bullet to the thoughtful blooms of Daily games. Their Bullet rating blossomed from a modest 685 to an impressive 1342 by 2025, reflecting a tenacity to adapt and learn faster than you can say “checkmate.”

Blitz games tell a story of endurance: starting at 194 in 2020, skyrocketing to a solid 1069 by 2025 — an evolutionary leap befitting a grandmaster of speed chess in the making. Not just fast, but precise, samlaniakea’s win rate in blitz hovers comfortably above 50%, forcing opponents into a check of their survival instincts.

Even in the daily grind, samlaniakea's performance is no less stellar, with careful strategy ripening into a steady rating around the 700s and a tactical win rate of 50%. In Rapid, the player’s true flair shines, boasting a win rate north of 60%, proving they’re not just surviving but thriving in mid-paced duels.

Playing Style

  • Early Resignation Rate: A humble 0.57%, because every game is a chance to grow – even if sometimes the biology of chess demands a quick retreat.
  • Endgame Frequency: A hearty 79.26% – samlaniakea clearly loves a good endgame dance, proving their stamina and strategic metabolism are in top shape.
  • Average Moves Per Win: About 64.5 moves before claiming victory – patience is their biological ally!
  • Comeback Rate: A stellar 86%, showing a phoenix-like resilience to bounce back from adversity.
  • Win Rate After Losing Piece: A perfect 100% – like a regenerating lizard, samlaniakea turns setbacks into setups.

Psychological Tendencies

A tilt factor of 11 suggests occasional emotional turbulence, but the overall trend shows a mindful player ready to evolve with each challenge. Their Rated vs Casual win difference is slightly negative, which hints that casual games might allow them a more relaxed, predator-like exploration of ideas.

Strategic Preferences

Known affinities include a bit of mystery surrounding openings (“Top Secret”), with an aggressive win ratio of near 50% in Bullet and slightly over 60% in Rapid modes. Like the neural pathways connecting a brain’s synapses, samlaniakea’s moves are precise, calculated, and often surprising.

Daily Rhythms & Battle Hours

Playing mostly when the stars align, their top win hours orbit the midday (11 AM and 1 PM) and early afternoon realms, with win rates around 50-52%. Night owls beware: the early hours (between midnight and 4 AM) reveal a mixed metabolic output, with some glowing highs and shadowy lows.

Opponents would do well to remember that this player’s cerebral mitochondria keep ticking long after many have logged off.

Victories & Vistas

samlaniakea’s most ferocious rivals include donovan-e5 and superreppie – nemeses to chase, while spectacular wins against ferasdarua and jpmendestv are worthy of a genetic mutation.

With a longest winning streak of 13 games, they’ve proven to be a force that can multiply pressure exponentially over the board.

In the grand biological experiment of chess, samlaniakea demonstrates that both instinct and intellect can coalesce to form a checkmate-worthy organism.
