Alain Boullier: The Chess Maverick

Alain Boullier, known in the virtual chess realms as alainboullier, is a spirited competitor whose journey through the 64 squares is as colorful as his extensive opponent list.

Rating Rollercoaster

Starting with a modest Rapid rating in 2021 of 547, Alain quickly flirted with the upper regions by 2022, peaking at a nimble 763. Although the subsequent years saw ups and downs—just like a well-placed knight hop—the passion for chess games never waned. Alain’s blitz rating peaked impressively at 972 in 2018, a flash of brilliance from a single winning game that still shines.

Playing Style: Endgame Enthusiast & Tactical Whiz

With an average of about 60 moves per win and a penchant for grinding out those tricky endgames (over 63% of his games), Alain is no stranger to the long haul. His early resignation rate is a modest 3.32%, proving he rarely throws in the towel early—unless it’s a finely calculated sacrifice.

Speaking of tactics, Alain boasts a jaw-dropping comeback rate of 69.25% and an enviable 100% win rate after losing a piece. Clearly, "Losing a piece? No problem!" might be his unofficial motto. Opponents beware: a tactical blunder might just be the opening act for an even greater victory.

Psychological Nuances

Alain’s tilt factor is kept under control at 12%, which for chess players could be akin to "mildly peeved but still in the game." What's more, his win difference between rated and casual games is nearly 46%, suggesting he saves his best tricks for the serious stage.

Statistical Superpowers

  • Overall Rapid record stands delicately balanced with 3,913 wins, 3,913 losses, and 697 draws — a true testament to Alain’s never-say-die attitude.
  • Blitz though sparse, holds an even 2 wins and 2 losses from 4 games.
  • Longest winning streak? A magnificent 10 games in a row, proving that when Alain is on fire, it’s an all-consuming blaze.

A Friend to Many, A Rival to Few

Having faced a who's who of challengers—from panda2496 to alexm244 and many others—Alain’s record shows some opponents are tougher nuts to crack while others fold like well-timed gambits. His varied win rates across numerous players reflect both the diversity of his competition and the depth of his strategic skills.

Fun Fact

Alain’s win rates early in the day around 10 AM zoom near 50%, perhaps fueled by fresh coffee and chess openings that are just as fresh!

In the grand game of life and chess, Alain Boullier shows that it’s not just about the rating but the resilience, the comebacks, and the joy of every move. So next time you see alainboullier on the board, get ready for a tactical rollercoaster ride!
