Alekoporiou: The Blitz Maestro with a Dash of Humor

Meet Alekoporiou, an International Master whose blitz games are as thrilling as a rollercoaster ride — if the rollercoaster had 2,424 twists and turns (that’s their 2024 blitz rating, by the way). Over 3,571 blitz games, this mystery chess warrior has proven to be as relentless as a knight chasing a runaway pawn, boasting a win rate of about 53% and a max blitz rating reaching 2625, proving that they don’t just play fast—they play with flair.

Alekoporiou’s longest winning streak was an impressive 14 games. Unfortunately, they're currently on a rest day, with a current win streak at zero—because even blitz wizards need to catch their breath! Their average game length is no short affair either, with wins coming after an average of 71 moves—because who says blitz is all about quick checkmates? Not this player!

A refined tactician, Alekoporiou shines brightest after some setbacks, turning comebacks into works of art, boasting a near-perfect 88.5% comeback rate and an undefeated 100% win rate after losing a piece. Basically, if losing a knight or a bishop were a death sentence, Alekoporiou would be on death row, but instead they're writing a suspense thriller with every recovery.

When it comes to openings, Alekoporiou treats every game like a top-secret mission, winning over 1,800 of those classified 3,571 matches. Opponents beware: they have beaten some players 100% of the time (looking at you, “edmondddantess” and “ostrobramski”) and have a sneaky 54.55% success rate against their most played opponent, “kaustubh85”. However, some challengers like “clepeyri” have kept them in check, with a 0% win rate against them—proving even the best have nemeses.

Alekoporiou’s playing schedule is a masterpiece of optimization with peak win rates at 8 AM (a whopping 69%!) and never shy of greatness during the prime blitz hours. And though their tilt factor sits modestly at 10 (which sounds like a number from a sci-fi novel rather than a chess stat), they prove time and again that psychology is their secret weapon.

Whether they're wielding the white or black pieces, Alekoporiou maintains solid win percentages (55% for white, 50% for black), meaning this player’s style is as balanced as a perfectly set chessboard—though definitely not boring. Expect intense endgames since their endgame frequency clocks near 75%, because the true battles are fought when less is left on the board.

In short, Alekoporiou is an International Master who blitzes, baffles, and bamboozles opponents with speed, skill, and a sprinkle of mystery—checkmate, anyone?
