Lionel Davis - National Master Extraordinaire
Lionel Davis, known in the chess world as ULTRAMODERNIST, is a National Master whose journey through the 64 squares is nothing short of legendary (or at least entertaining). With a career spanning over a decade, Lionel has battled countless opponents, often starting with a pawn and ending with a checkmate... or a chess-induced existential crisis.
Rating and Style
From humble beginnings in 2009 with a Bullet rating around 1500, Lionel skyrocketed to stunning peaks of 2555 in Bullet chess by 2024. Not one to be outpaced, their Blitz ratings have also hovered around the 2300s, solidifying an aggressive and tactical style that keeps competitors on their toes. Rapid and Daily games might not be their cup of tea—or coffee—but their bullet prowess tells the tale of a speed demon with a penchant for precision.
Playing Style Quirks
- Early Resignation Rate: A humble 3.12%, proving they’re in it for the long (and often confusing) haul.
- Endgame Frequency: Nearly 82%, because who needs quick games when you can savor the slow and brutal death of your opponent?
- Average Moves Per Win: Around 76 (yes, they like to chat a bit before delivering the knockout punch).
- White Win Rate: 57.38%, Black Win Rate: 53.66%, balancing the scales of chess justice.
Tactical Wizardry
Lionel’s comeback rate is an astonishing 92.88%, indicating they are the chess equivalent of a boomerang that always returns (and bites). The perfect 100% win rate after losing a piece suggests their opponents might as well pack up after stealing just one pawn – it's just fuel for Lionel’s counterattack.
Psychology at Play
Tilt factor stands at a modest 16 – a level of calm that would make a zen master proud, although the -5.4% win difference vs casual games might hint at the occasional "I promise I wasn't trying to lose" face.
Notable Stats & Trivia
- Longest winning streak: 25 games – a chess marathon worthy of a Netflix series.
- Games played: Tens of thousands in Bullet alone, with over 60,000 wins. Somewhere in there, probably a few games where the opponent’s king just surrendered out of exhaustion.
- Favorite opening: Mysteriously labeled as "Top Secret" – we suspect a move they've lovingly named "The Davis Discombobulator."
- Most played opponents include "eax", "i_am_rude", and "carnage25" – a trio that probably gets nightmares on game night.
Anecdotes & Humor
When not busy plotting checkmates or calculating impossibly complex sequences, Lionel enjoys reminding players that the rook always knows where the party is (hint: it's on the seventh rank). Legend says they once won a bullet game while simultaneously brewing a cup of coffee—if that’s not multitasking, what is?
Whether you're a grandmaster or a casual fan, Lionel Davis’s games are always worth a study—and a laugh. Because chess isn’t just a war of pieces, it's a battle of wits, will, and sometimes wildly impractical sacrifices.
