Ülar Lauk - International Master Extraordinaire

Meet Ülar Lauk, a chess warrior bearing the prestigious title of International Master bestowed by FIDE. Not just your everyday chess player, Ülar lights up the blitz boards with a peak rating soaring to 2657 in May 2023. When it comes to rapid decisions and fierce tactics, Ülar is a player who truly thrives — boasting a blitz win rate of almost 68%, with a record of 42 wins against only 20 losses and zero draws. Talk about decisive!

Ülar’s style combines patience and grit, with an impressive average of nearly 73 moves per win and an endgame frequency over 80%, showing both endurance and savvy in the late stages of the game. Notably, Ülar is a comeback king, bouncing back with a stunning 90% success rate after facing a setback like losing a piece.

Sometimes the chess gods frown upon him, evidenced by his longest losing streak of 6 games, but Ülar always bounces back with a smile (and a quick tactical strike). Perhaps his secret mojo is playing around 11 AM, when his win rate hits a perfect 100%. Late night? Maybe not so much — only 50% success at 10 PM. Better set your alarm clocks if you want to catch Ülar at his best!

When asked about openings — well, Ülar keeps his favorite playbook a Top Secret. No surprise there with such a solid win performance of 67.74% from 62 blitz games swearing allegiance to his secret arsenal.

Ülar's blitz battles are often a clash of titans against familiar foes like paul66666 and chesstesterwp, holding a respectful 66.67% win rate versus paul66666, while maintaining remarkable clean-sweep records (100% wins) against various opponents like mhargarita2907 and ijkrooks. Clearly, Ülar’s play leaves little room for mercy.

Off the board, Ülar could be the kind who calls chess a “sport of kings,” but on it, he's the one making the crown moves. Always poised to checkmate with style, Ülar’s games frequently end by resignation, showing he knows when the position is hopeless and when it’s time to seal the deal.

So, if you spot the username von_Eschenbach on a blitz live score, prepare for a masterclass in tactical wizardry — or perhaps a painful lesson on why never to underestimate an International Master named Ülar Lauk.
