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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
