Lorenzo Ahrends Alonso-Misol (aka virilxd)

Meet Lorenzo Ahrends Alonso-Misol, a rapid chess warrior whose journey on the 64 squares has been nothing short of a rollercoaster ride! With a peak rapid rating of 739 achieved in April 2025, Lorenzo blends tenacity and tactical flair—sometimes dazzling his opponents, sometimes providing them with "learning experiences."

Chess Journey & Style

Starting from a modest 540 in mid-2023, Lorenzo swiftly climbed to consistently hovering above the 650-700 mark. He’s a rapid specialist, boasting a perfect 4-0 record with mysterious “Unknown Openings” and a respectable 52.44% win rate using his favorite "Top Secret" opening repertoire. His style is a tantalizing mix of solid endgame skills—engaging in endgames in nearly half his games—and surprisingly resilient comebacks with a comeback rate close to 45%. Though he's had stretches of both winning and losing streaks (8 wins in a row, but also some tough 5-game losing streaks), he never loses his adventurous spirit.

Strengths & Quirks

• Clock Whisperer: Lorenzo’s best games often kick off early mornings, at 9 AM sharp—where some say the coffee brews magic into his brain.
• Color Advantage: He performs slightly better with Black, boasting a near 58% win rate, expertly confusing his opponents who surely underestimated the power of black pieces.
• Resignation Rate: A humble 7.9% early resignation rate shows he's generally stubborn enough to battle on, except for those "not today" moments.
• Psychology: A tilt factor of just 5 suggests Lorenzo keeps his cool well—most of the time. But don’t be fooled; those 5 losses in a row recently hint he’s human after all.

Beware Opponents!

Certain rivals have fallen prey repeatedly—players like jaimez70 and mr_ali_007 have tangled with Lorenzo multiple times, with the latter holding him to a 50/50 split. Yet, for many, Lorenzo’s the nightmare with perfect 100% win rates against named foes like rrborn, priyesh2301, and nikola56900. Opponents beware: his tactical awareness after losing material is nearly 43%, making him a dangerous foe even when behind.

Memorable Victories

Among his latest triumphs, Lorenzo's checkmate victory against rrborn in an unusual St. George Defense showcased both patience and precision, ending the game after a grueling 68-move duel—a true marathon of mental endurance.

In Summary

Lorenzo isn’t just a player; he’s a live experiment in the chaos and beauty of rapid chess. Some days he’s a tactical ninja, other days he’s a humble learner, but every game is played with passion, a sprinkle of mystery, and definitely some caffeine. If you encounter virilxd online, prepare for a ride—sometimes smooth, sometimes wild, but never boring.
