Elizabeth Ruben - The Small Business Liaison of Chess
Elizabeth Ruben, known in the chess realm as SmallBusinessLiaison, is a rapid chess aficionado who shows a rare mix of perseverance and tactical flair. With a peak rapid rating of 619 achieved in May 2024, Elizabeth has been on a rollercoaster ride through the ranks but never quite loses her passion for the game.
Known for frequenting the Rapid time control, she’s played over a thousand rapid games, with a close race between wins (1117) and losses (1153), showing she’s no stranger to intense battles. Her resilience shines through a 73.64% comeback rate, proving that even when the chips are down, Elizabeth is ready to flip the board—or at least the game’s momentum—in her favor!
Elizabeth's most trusted weapons in the opening phase include the classic King's Pawn Opening and the intriguingly named Van t Kruijs Opening. She even boasts a winning record in the "Undefined" opening category—some say that’s just her sneaky way of catching opponents off guard. Her preferred openings reveal a player who enjoys both traditional setups and a sprinkle of surprise.
Strategically inclined, Elizabeth has an average of about 50 moves per win and tends to engage in the endgame just over half the time (53.13%), showing stamina and a solid grasp on the long game. Beware, because when she loses a piece, she still manages a respectable 40.63% win rate, dancing on the edge of chaos with style!
Elizabeth’s psychological endurance is noteworthy, maintaining a tilt factor of just 12%—not bad at all for someone who fights so fiercely on the board. She plays best around the morning hours, especially at 8:00 AM, proving that an early coffee and a quick gambit might be her secret combo.
Among her rivals, she seems to have a knack for vanquishing ikunggg and pitu1202ash with a perfect win rate, although others like mahaaaaa15 seem to have cracked her code a few times. Elizabeth’s current winning streak stands at a modest 1, but her longest winning streak reaches an impressive 10 games – the chess equivalent of a small business boom!
In her latest rapid victory, Elizabeth demonstrated nerve and creativity with the Alekhine’s Defense against syarifh5, winning after a suspenseful endgame where patience and precision mattered most.
In summary, Elizabeth Ruben is a charming enigma on the chessboard—a skilled strategist, a fierce competitor, and perhaps the only player who could simultaneously run a small business and trap kings with a smile. Keep an eye on her games; the rise of SmallBusinessLiaison is one to enjoy!
