Comeback? Almost a specialty – Valery has a staggering 93.5% success rate for turning games around after setbacks, and wins 100% of games even after losing a piece. They rarely suffer one-sided losses, clocking only 1.4%. But don’t ask about tilt; Valery has a modest tilt factor of 14 – yes, even masters have their off moments!

Meme-Worthy Achievements

Also notable: a mysterious and top-secret opening repertoire that has netted them a 50%+ win rate across thousands of games. The chess world may never know the secrets behind those moves.

Favorite Opponents and Quirks

Valery’s chess journey includes epic duels with opponents like kopylov_alex and ritual2003, facing each over 100 times! Some opponents get 100% win rates (lucky for Valery), while others like hikaru and jospem provide much tougher challenges.

Behind the Board

Valery tends to play best mid-day to early afternoon, racking up their highest win percentages around noon and early morning hours (2 AM apparently perfect time – 100% win rate!). Weekdays are fair game but Saturdays shine bright with nearly 57% wins. So if you want to avoid a swift checkmate, better not challenge Valery on a Saturday lunch break!

In short, Valera_B5 is a national master who combines speed, precision, and endurance to keep opponents sweating on tick-tock timers. A chess warrior with a flair for the dramatic — ready to defend the king and queen, and probably laugh a little while doing it.
