Rating: Bullet ~374, Daily ~598, Blitz ~285 (latest as of 2025)
About Вероника
Also known by the username VeronikaLuk87, Вероника is a chess player whose style balances tenacity and tactical brilliance. With a curious mix of fierce competition and occasional early resignations (5.56% of her games), she knows when to fight and when to gracefully bow out — nobody likes wasting time, after all.
Playing Style & Strengths
- Endgame Mastery: With an endgame frequency of about 66%, Вероника shows a strong nerve to battle late into the game.
- Tenacity: Famous for comebacks, boasting an 83.88% comeback rate, and an unbelievable 100% win rate after losing a piece – talk about turning the tide!
- Patience & Pace: Average game length hovers around 53-54 moves, meaning Вероника prefers a thoughtful approach rather than blitzing out moves.
Performance Highlights
With nearly 952 wins balanced almost evenly with 954 losses in bullet format, her battles are an epic saga of thrills, close calls, and nail-biting finishes. Her longest winning streak stretched to 10 games, and she's currently riding a modest 3-game win streak. A testament to resilience and consistent grind on the virtual board.
Opening Mystery
Вероника's opening repertoire is shrouded in secrecy — almost literally titled "Top Secret" — with nearly 2000 games played under this opening in bullet mode alone and a respectable win rate close to 49%. The mystery opening keeps opponents guessing and occasionally downright baffled!
Social & Psychological Chess Notes
With a tilt factor of 13, Вероника occasionally lets the emotions slip, but she quickly recalibrates. Monday is her luckiest day with a winning rate of 52.71%, so maybe send her good vibes early in the week! Oddly, she dazzles at odd hours like 1 AM, 2 AM, and 3 AM with perfect win rates of 100% — perhaps the darker the hour, the brighter her brilliance shines.
Opponent Records & Quirks
Some opponents never stood a chance — perfect scores like 100% win rate against several recent adversaries. Others have kept her on her toes, like sergei13101982, with only a 20% win rate. And then there are those rare nemeses who managed to snag a loss or draw, keeping the battlefield dynamic.
In Summary
Вероника Лук is a chess player with a blend of mystery, grit, and sharp tactical awareness. Whether it's the crack of dawn or the dead of night, when she sits behind the board, expect fierce battles, secret openings, and some incredible comebacks. Move over Magnus, here comes Вероника!
