Biography of veritas2023
Meet veritas2023, a relentless warrior on the 64 squares with a flair for both fast-paced bullet duels and thoughtful daily matches. Sporting a peak bullet rating of an impressive 1505 and a blitz high of 1477 achieved in early 2023, veritas2023 blends tactical sharpness with tenacity, often leaving opponents wondering how their queens vanished faster than their patience.
This player’s style? A curious concoction of patience and aggression. With an average moves per win around 55 but often dragging losing battles beyond 66 moves, veritas2023 clearly enjoys a good drama on the board. Perhaps it’s the love of endgames—played more than half the time—that fuels this fighting spirit.
Early resignation rate is a modest 4.38%, proving this player likes to fight until the bitter end. And the psychological toughness is palpable: a remarkable 73.26% comeback rate after falling behind, meaning cracking under pressure is simply not in the vocabulary. (Although a tilt factor of 22 hints at the occasional moment of “Why did I just do that?!”)
Openings provide an intriguing window into the Board Gladiator’s mindset. The Van't Kruijs Opening is a favored weapon, boasting an 80-game blitz history with an outstanding 83.75% win rate. In bullet, this opening is even more lethal, with over 348 games and a stunning 82.47% success rate. When not galloping down this path, veritas2023 experiments with gambits like the Englund and the spirited French Defense Knight Variation (with a whopping 86.21% win rate in bullet).
On the timefront, veritas2023 is a creature of the evening — rocking a peak win rate above 66% during the highly competitive 7 PM hour. Weekdays show consistent success, especially Wednesdays with nearly 69% wins. Weekends are no picnic either, where a Saturday win rate above 62% makes their opponents sweat.
Recent feats include checkmating opponents like JimmyJimbello in a beautifully executed daily English Opening on August 14, 2023, showcasing patience and precision over a multi-hour game. And just for kicks, bullet battles see them topping the charts with quick tactical strikes and a phenomenal number of wins—over 1100 so far this year.
Yet, every hero has their kryptonite. Veritas2023’s longest losing streak hit a tough 22 games, a humbling reminder that even masters face the grinding gears of chess fate. But with a cumulative count of over 1,600 wins in fast formats alone, resilience and skill win out time and again.
Off the board, one imagines veritas2023 as a devoted strategist, sometimes mumbling about “Why did I blunder that pawn?” while sneakily practicing the Van't Kruijs Opening in between coffee breaks. Their games combine classical grounding with daring attacks — a chess career forged through fire, finesse, and a pinch of fun.
"If you’re not winning at blitz by move 20, are you even blitzing?" – Probably veritas2023.
Hi veritas2023 – Your Personal Game Review
What You’re Already Doing Well
- Consistent repertoire. You enter most games with 1.c4 (English) or the Sicilian as Black, giving you familiar pawn structures and typical plans.
- Fast king safety. In almost every win you castle by move 9, keeping your king secure while your opponent’s often remains exposed.
- Eye for tactics. Examples include 26.Rf7+ in the win over jimmyjimbello and the elegant 25…Rf1# vs cpt_kabelbinder. Your tactical alertness is a clear strength.
- Piece activity. You love rook lifts (Re1–e4, Rf1–f7, etc.) and queen switches (Qc4-f7+), successfully coordinating heavy pieces against the enemy king.
Biggest Improvement Opportunities
- Time-management in Daily games.
Five of your last six recorded losses were simply on time. Set two fixed check-in moments each day and turn on move-reminders so the clock never beats you again. - Handling …e5 / …d6 setups against 1.c4.
Opponents equalise quickly with …e5 or …d6 because you delay d2-d4. Review main-line English ideas (d4 breaks, f2-f4 thrusts) so you fight for the centre sooner. - King safety during pawn storms.
When you push e4-e5 or f4-f5 your own king sometimes lacks defenders (see the diagram position vs ᕼᘿᒪᒪᓍ Sᓰᐺᗩᖽᐸ ᕼᘿᒪᒪᓍ Sᓰᐺᗩᖽᐸ). Keep at least two minor pieces near your king before launching pawns. - Conversion in long endgames.
You won an epic 70-move Q+N vs K endgame versus pianojames, but faster techniques exist. Study basic rook and knight endings so you convert advantages with less clock pressure.
