valeriamu: The Gambit of Grit and Grace

Meet valeriamu, a chess enthusiast whose journey on 64 squares is equal parts daring and delightfully unpredictable. With a current Blitz rating peaking at 534 and a Rapid rating high of 727, valeriamu's chess adventure is a testament to persistence over perfection.

Style and Story

Preferring the Bishop's Opening when it comes to Blitz, valeriamu boasts a rare 100% win rate on that particular opening – albeit from a single victorious game. The other openings? Less lucky. Kings Pawn, Polish, Grob, Owens Defense, and a medley of others have been battlegrounds more often ending in defeat than success.

But hey, every grandmaster was once a humble beginner – and valeriamu embraces each loss with the heart of a true contender, currently riding a 9-game losing streak tempered by the ever-resilient spirit to try again.

Highlight Reel

On December 24, 2022, valeriamu pulled off a swift and stunning checkmate against a 580-rated opponent using a sneaky Bishop’s Opening Qf3 combo, proving brilliance can strike even in the face of the odds.

Chess Personality

Known for a decent early resignation rate of 16.67% – some might call it strategic pragmatism, others sheer self-awareness. Endgames show up about 31% of the time, often wrapped up in roughly 7 moves when victorious, though losses stretch long with an average of over 40 moves, showing a commendable fighting spirit.

Psychologically, valeriamu’s best hour to bring the heat is around 11 PM, when the mind is sharp and the coffee possibly kicking in.
