Viim5

Player Profile: Viim5

Meet Viim5, a brave soul who’s navigated the thrilling roller coaster of the chess world with a style that’s as unpredictable as a queen’s dance on the board. Known for daring openings and a tendency to keep things interesting, Viim5 has seen their Rapid rating soar to a peak of 1430 back in March 2025, only to embark on a dramatic descent worthy of a suspense thriller.

Playing mostly Rapid games, Viim5 is no stranger to the tremors of victory and defeat, sporting an overall Rapid record of 84 wins, 118 losses, and 7 draws — proving that every defeat is just a plot twist on the way to the next big comeback. For Blitz and Bullet players who like lightning-fast decisions, Viim5 offers thrilling, if occasionally brutal, showdowns (zero wins in these formats so far, but hey, it's all about the experience!).

Opening Repertoire & Style

Viim5 favors the classics with a twist, often diving into the King's Pawn Opening and its Leonardis Variation—where they’ve actually managed to tilt the scales slightly more in their favor (53% win rate!). The Scandinavian Defense is another favored battleground, reflecting a player willing to mix aggression with a dash of unpredictability.

Some openings, like the Queen's Pawn or King's Knight Variations, have been less kind, but Viim5 is undeterred, proving that in chess (as in life), persistence is key. With an average winning game clocking in at around 54 moves, Viim5 fights battles longer than some epic fantasy novels—and often with the same twists and turns.

Memorable Moments

Not one to shy away from a challenge, Viim5 once racked up an impressive 10-game winning streak, a feat that surely had opponents double-checking their queen’s safety. Yet, the flip side is a notorious 22-game losing streak, reminding us all that even the bravest warriors have their off days. Currently, it’s a bit of a tough patch with one consecutive loss hanging around.

Psychology & Play Habits

They say timing is everything, and Viim5 agrees — with 2 PM crowned as the best time of day. Fun fact: Viim5 isn’t afraid to call it quits early sometimes, with early resignations happening in about 17% of their games (maybe they just know when to quit before the queen roasts their pawns!).

The psychological rollercoaster is real, however, with a "tilt factor" sitting at a spicy 22, showing that even Viim5 feels the sting when the chess gods frown. But don’t count them out — their come-back rate is a solid 58%, showing resilience and cunning when the chips are down.

Recent Battles

Some recent clashes stand out: a nifty win by resignation against raphaeltotk after a sharp opening and tactical pressure, showcasing Viim5’s ability to capitalize on opponent mistakes. Plus, a swift checkmate over ride2chess with the classic king hunt shows a flair for dramatic finishes.

But the tough days continue, with hard-fought losses to the likes of aizen9420 and kenco81. Even grandmasters have their bad days, and in Viim5’s book, every loss is just fuel for a comeback.

In Summary

Viim5 is that unpredictable underdog every chess community loves: they fight hard, experiment with openings, and never give up despite the odds. Whether they’re storming an opponent’s king or gracefully resigning to a better-prepared rival, one thing’s for sure – the chessboard is always a thrilling battlefield when Viim5 is around.
