Vincent Baker - National Master Extraordinaire

Meet Vincent Baker, a chess player who earned the prestigious title of National Master in the battlefield of the 64 squares. Known for a strategic mind that can turn the tides even from a losing position (with a comeback rate of 23.4%), Vincent has navigated countless games across various time controls, including blitz, bullet, rapid, and daily chess.

Vincent's chess journey is a rollercoaster of intensity and grit! Although known for an early resignation rate of over 83% (because why suffer through a dead loss?), when they do fight on, they average over 20 moves per win, proving their mastery in tactical and strategic battles. On the downside, losses tend to be quick—averaging just 14 moves—perhaps a hint to their impatience or face-saving skills.

From 2015 onwards, Vincent's blitz rating skyrocketed from about 1572 to a dazzling peak of 2917 by 2023—no mean feat for anyone! Bullet chess is another arena where Vincent shines, hitting a peak rating of 2784. Rapid chess and daily chess see similarly strong performances, showcasing versatility across formats.

Their favored opening remains a closely guarded "Top Secret", which has yielded a respectable win rate: 40.88% in blitz and an impressive 51.74% in bullet chess. Clearly, Vincent knows how to keep opponents guessing—whether it's a sneaky gambit or a quiet positional squeeze, the secret sauce stays locked away.

Vincent's psychological profile reveals a tilt factor of 62, which means sometimes emotions get the best of them—but hey, who doesn't get frustrated when a sneaky pawn blunder turns the game upside down? Interestingly, they have a 26.29% win rate after losing a piece, showing resilience and perhaps a flair for the dramatic comeback.

Outside the squares, Vincent likely enjoys a good cup of coffee while pondering moves, occasionally muttering chess proverbs like "If you see a good move, look for a better one", or the classic "Always expect the unexpected."

Opponents beware: Vincent Baker (or vjbaker online) is a cunning adversary with a record full of victories and “Top Secret” plans swirling up their sleeve. If you're lucky enough to play them, remember—never underestimate the National Master who might just resign early but can also launch a stunning assault when it counts!
