Meet SirNolan, a chess enthusiast whose journey resembles an epic thriller with ups, downs, and more twists than a Sicilian Defense!

About SirNolan

SirNolan is a Blitz, Rapid, and Bullet aficionado who wields the Scandinavian Defense like a true knight of the chessboard.

His peak ratings tell a story of perseverance and thunderous comebacks:

  • ⚡ Blitz peak rating of 874 (Apr 2023)
  • 🚀 Rapid peak rating of 962 (Jan 2021)
  • 💥 Bullet peak rating of 788 (Feb 2023)

Chess Style & Strengths

With an average game length of about 56 moves per win and a comeback rate of over 70%, SirNolan loves a good fight and rarely quits early (early resignation rate just ~6%). Not a quitter, more like a chess gladiator.

He prefers white pieces slightly more—boasting a 54.8% win rate playing white versus 47.2% with black.

Psychologically, SirNolan has an admirable tilt factor of 8 (which is just a fancy way to say he sometimes stomps the board but bounces back strong).

Favorite Openings

If openings were cocktails, SirNolan’s signature drink would be the Scandinavian Defense, especially the classic versions. With a win rate above 70% in Blitz and Rapid play, the Scandinavian Defense isn’t just a go-to—it’s a weapon of choice.

Other respectable recipes in his repertoire include the Italian Game and the Philidor Defense, both bringing tactical fireworks, especially in Blitz.

Recent Highlights

Most recently, SirNolan defeated players like gedqwe and Tony192 with cool-headed precision, using his beloved Scandinavian Defense. Even when the clock was ticking, he emerged victorious, winning on time or by classic checkmate in nail-biting finishes.
