If you will send me a friend / club join request, I will accept it

That is, if I see it

I am also writing guides for variants on chess.con. Feel free to message me if you have any ideas.

Goals/Achievements:

 - 1300! - I never expected I would reach this rating in Rapid. Next goal is 1400... wish me luck.

 - Back to 1200! - So there was this period where I dropped down to 1100 rapid rating. Now I'm back to 1200! 

 - Legend League! - Wow, this took so much time. Since the end of 2022 at least, as I can't remember since when I decided to work on this

Now actually the bio

Hi Readers!
My Lichess username is Itsrealme and I know how to solve a 3x3 Rubik's cube (sub 25 seconds at solving it). 

By the way, if you're in cubing just like me, join the Rubik's club

My other hobbies other than cubing is creating random DIY projects.

I am an e4-e5 kind of player, though, I do like playing the King's Gambit, as it is aggressive and fairly rare. I also like the Stafford Gambit because it's has arguably the most traps. My favorite is the Evans Gambit. Sometimes, I do play the Fried Fox Defence for black, when dealing with stronger players. 

Where my Username came from and my backstory

I started playing chess when I was four. I wasn't that great at it, constantly losing against my family, so I quit chess for a long time. After, I was somehow, interested in playing chess for a few days. And that's when I discovered this website.

Did you know, my favorite pieces are the Pawn and the Knight (But mostly the pawn)? When I just joined Chess.com I wasn't... the best (Click here to see what I mean). So we bought a membership to have access to the lessons. And It helped out a ton. During the period of nonstop learning chess (For one or two months), I heard this quote: "A pawn can be your best friend or your worst nightmare". 

I didn't come up with my username straight away. This account was first named Glowknight (Whatever number), then Horreum which I didn't like. I wanted to switch it to a username which I would like. Related to something more like chess. So I wanted another one. (For some reason Chess.com allowed me to change my username another time).

From the quote above related to pawns (One of my favorite pieces), they mentioned the word nightmare. If you listen closely (You actually don't), you'll notice that you'll hear the word 'Knight' (My second favorite piece). So that's how I found out, a word sounding 'Nightmare' would be the perfect username. Since Nightmare was already taken, the second closest thing I could think of was Nytemere.

My Favorite player in Chess History...

Apart from Bobby fischer because everyone likes him

... Is Paul Morphy!

Three facts about him:

1. 1. 1. He had a 72% win rate!
      2. If he would be alive to this date, his rating would be about 2600, which a strong GM
         1. If you want a compassion,  he died only in 1884. Today is 2024, so theoretically, in two hundred years, chess would've evolved greatly. Magnus carlsen (is that how you spell his name?), probably the best chess player of recent times, has a rating of 2800, meaning Paul would've been only 200 points away.
      3. He trained himself by watching his father play. At age 10 he was probably at master strength

I know 10 things about you:

1. You are human

2. You are reading this

3. You can’t say the letter “p” without separating your lips

4. You just tried to do it

6. You are laughing at yourself 

7. You have a smile on you face and you skipped number 5

8. You checked to see if there was a number 5

9. You are laughing at yourself because everyone else fell for it

10. Now copy and paste this and see who else falls for it too

Foxes are the best
