V Greenfield (aka "tsoflias")

Meet V Greenfield, a chess player whose rapid rating journey is nothing short of a rollercoaster through the kingdoms of pawns, knights, and queens—with more ups and downs than a seesaw at a chess-themed playground! Starting with a modest rapid rating of 890 in 2020, V peaked at 918 in early 2021, showcasing some kingdom-worthy moves before embarking on a brave expedition through ratings that tell tales of fierce battles and hard-fought duels.

Known online as tsoflias, V isn't afraid to open with bold King's Pawn moves (e4), occasionally surprising foes with early queen sorties like the cheeky Queen's attack in move 2. Master of both cunning attacks and dramatic resignations (only 2.38% early resignation rate, so they're in it till the end!), V has racked up thousands of rapid games with a spirited war record of 4,227 wins versus 4,909 losses and 619 draws.

V's style? More of a tenacious marathon runner than a sprinter, with an average of 58 moves in wins and a patient endgame lover (64.19% endgame frequency). Don't be fooled—this is a player with a proven comeback rate of 62.12% who refuses to crumble even after losing material, making opponents sweat over every move.

But chess is not just about stats. V plays their best games in the wee hours around 5 AM, perfectly timed to confuse opponents (and possibly themselves) while the rest of the world sleeps. With a tilt factor of 15, it’s clear that passions run high—losing isn't always fun, but it fuels the next daring gambit.

Recent games have shown V’s distinct affection for the King's Pawn Opening family, striking decisive blows by 2. Qh5 and 2. Nf3 variations, often ending with opponents throwing in the towel—resignation is a common sight in the chronicles of V’s battles.
