Владимир Кропотов (Vakr013) - Chess Enthusiast Extraordinaire

Meet Владимир Кропотов, a dedicated chess player whose journey on the 64 squares has been as dynamic and intriguing as the game itself. With a daily rating that climbed steadily from a humble 704 in 2020 to a solid 1027 by 2025, Владимир proves that persistence and passion can indeed move mountains—or at least pawns and knights.

Game Stats & Highlights

• Total Daily Games Played: Over 800 games fought valiantly!
• Wins: 334 wins in daily chess - not bad for someone who refuses to resign early too often (only ~3.8% early resignations).
• Longest Winning Streak: 9 games, followed by a currently sizzling streak of 7 wins. Vladimir is on fire!
• Preferred Opening: The intriguingly named "Top Secret" – used in 660 daily games with a respectable 50.6% win rate.

Playing Style

Vladimir loves a good endgame, playing over half his games (50.07%) deep into the battlefield. His average winning game clocks in at a marathon 49 moves, showing patience and tactical endurance. White pieces? He flexes a 55.9% win rate, but don't count out Black games either, where he holds his own at 45.5% wins.

Tactical Wizardry & Psychological Edge

Our chess gladiator has an unshakable comeback spirit, winning nearly 61% of games after being in a losing position — and amazingly, he wins 100% of games when he loses a piece but still seals victory. Talk about turning lemons into lemonade!

Despite these superpowers, Владимир has a "tilt factor" of 9, suggesting occasional frustration—but hey, who doesn't get a little ruffled when the queen suddenly vanishes?

Notable Opponents

Vladimir has played many challengers but seems to have a soft spot for opponents like bobrosshappytree (147 games with a tough 44.9% win rate) and beberlito (35 games, 45.7% win rate). He's demonstrated flawless perfection against newer foes, boasting 100% wins against multiple recent opponents like mehdi_kh05, putaindesiles, and herotyrion.

Chess & Laughs

Always ready to bring a smile to the board, Владимир’s moves are as unpredictable as a plot twist in a Russian novel—full of cunning surprises and the occasional sacrifice that makes spectators say, "Wait, what just happened?" Whether you’re a chess grandmaster or a casual pawn pusher, Vladimir’s games are a delightful rollercoaster of strategic brilliance and endearing humanity.

Watch out – when Владимир is focused (especially on Tuesdays, Mondays, and during those magical 14:00 and 13:00 hours), the board might just tilt in his favor!
