Valentin: The Chess Enigma
Known online as Valochh_chess, Valentin is a player whose statistics read like the plot of a suspense novel. With a bullet rating soaring up to 547 and a blitz high of 521 in 2025, Valentin is every bit the rapid-fire tactician you want on your side—or the nightmare you hope to avoid on your opponent’s.
Despite an Early Resignation Rate of just under 7%, Valentin refuses to throw in the towel easily. His games often stretch deep into the night, averaging over 66 moves to victory, proving that when he fights, he does it with tenacity and patience. And when things look bleak? His Comeback Rate of 79% and a perfect 100% win rate after losing a piece are nothing short of miraculous.
Valentin favors the black pieces slightly more, boasting a Black Win Rate of 52.61% compared to 48.82% with white—so be warned if you face him playing black, there will be fire on the board. He’s a strategic wizard in the endgame realm, with over 62% of his battles going deep into the endgame skirmishes.
Matchups and Rivalries
Valentin has tangled extensively with opponents like "sogeki_ironz" (26 games) and "razeluxestr" (7 games), with a respectable 38% and 14% win rate respectively against them—proof that even our hero sometimes meets his match.
In contrast, countless players have been introduced to Valentin’s checkmate dance for the first and last time, including "arthur-bd", "xbeastgaming", and "akeefcf," each falling victim with a 100% loss rate. Rumor has it Valentin plays chess like a ninja silently delivering the final blow.
When Does Valentin Play?
Timing is everything. Valentin’s best moves often come on Thursdays and Wednesdays, boasting win rates above 55%, and between the hours of 10 AM (63% win rate) and 2 PM (60%). Early mornings might be questionable (7 AM only 48.78%), but catch him late evening, and you’re in for a rollercoaster.
A Psychological Profile
With a tilt factor of 7, Valentin keeps calm most of the time but isn’t immune to the frustrations any chess player knows well. His rated games edge out casual wins by less than 1%—a sign that when the chips are down, he turns the pressure into performance.
In summary, Valentin is a fierce competitor, a comeback artist, and a master strategist with an enviable knack for endgames. Facing him on the chessboard is as much a test of endurance as it is of skill—so get ready, because with Valentin, expect the unexpected!
