Meet alex_jr2017, a resilient chess enthusiast with a rollercoaster journey through the ranks of rapid, blitz, and bullet chess. Rating wise, Alex has experienced a colorful range, peaking around 569 in rapid play and showing promising sparks in blitz, with a maximum rating of 380. Bullet might be the wild west with fewer games, but even there, Alex doesn't shy away from a challenge.

Playing Style & Stats

Known for an early resignation rate close to 25%, Alex balances patience and practicality, often knowing when to cut losses and learn another day. The average game lasts about 35 moves when winning and a slightly longer 39 moves in defeat, proving perseverance is key. With a solid knack in the endgame (nearly 30% frequency) and tactical awareness reflected by a spectacular 91% win rate after losing a piece, Alex’s resilience is definitely a highlight.

White pieces bring out a better side with a win rate of approximately 44%, while Black holds steady near 41%. If you’re wondering about streaks, “longest winning streak” stands tall at 9, although currently the streak has hit pause – but like any true chess warrior, a comeback is always brewing.

Tactical Flair & Opponent Records

Alex has a comeback rate of close to 34%, showing that setbacks only fuel the fight harder. The tilt factor is surprisingly low at 11, so no dramatic flips of the board here; just cool-headed calculation and spirited effort.
Notably, some opponents have become favorites or nemeses. Against “slovafn”, the battles tally up to 86 games, though winning only about 1.16% of the time – an epic rivalry for sure! On the flip side, there are plenty of players, some with perfect or near-perfect win rates against Alex, proving even the best have their kryptonite.

Time Preferences

When does Alex shine brightest? Turns out, weekday afternoons and evenings are golden hours with Friday and Wednesday yielding win rates near 45-49%. Mornings around 15:00 and evenings around 20:00 to 22:00 UTC have seen win rates over 50% — nothing like a late afternoon chess battle to warm up the brain.

Recent Highlights

Alex's recent games showcase a love for sharp modern openings and tactical assaults. A thrilling victory on April 21, 2025, saw Alex triumph with the Modern Defense, ending in a swift checkmate after a bold attacking series. A couple of weeks earlier, another clean and classy checkmate sealed the deal using the Alekhine’s Defense John Tracy Gambit – talk about variety and style!

Of course, not every battle ends triumphant. Recent losses include tough matchups like a nail-biting French Defense casualty on May 19, 2025, a game lost on time – a brutal reminder that every second counts – and a fierce checkmate encounter against 'Slovafn', adding fuel to the ongoing rivalry.
