Player Profile: Alexey2106
Alexey2106 is a tenacious and steadily improving chess enthusiast, who over the span of a couple years, has famously turned the "Top Secret" opening into a near impenetrable fortress. Starting out in early 2023 with a Rapid rating just shy of 1000, Alexey has climbed an impressive mountain to surpass a whopping 2200 by spring 2025, transforming from a casual mover of pieces into a formidable Rapid contender.
Rating Journey & Style
Beginning with humble Rapid ratings in the low 900s, Alexey’s climb is the stuff of chess fairy tales—a true Cinderella story in the digital age. With a peak Rapid rating of 2239 by May 2025, this player’s growth reflects sharp improvement and a commitment to endgames, which show up in 65% of finished games. Not afraid to resign early when the tides turn, Alexey’s early resignation rate is modest at just over 5%, proving that stubbornness gives way to pragmatism.
White or Black, the win rates mingle just below 70%, a testimony to a solid, balanced approach and a hefty dose of tactical alertness—after all, Alexey pulls off comebacks over 78% of the time! It's almost like the chessboard holds a secret partnership with this player, tilting the scales back to victory from the jaws of defeat.
Opening Repertoire
While Alexey2106’s favorite opening is shrouded under the enigmatic name "Top Secret," the record boasts a 71% win rate across 261 Rapid games—definitely no amateur magician here! Other openings like the London System and Slav Defense make guest appearances with stellar success, while the Caro-Kann Defense varieties add a spicy touch to the repertoire. Opponents beware: this player’s opening book is thicker than most opponents expected.
Playing Habits & Psychological Notes
Alexey thrives in the afternoon sunlight of competitive play, winning most games between 15:00 and 18:00 with win rates climbing as high as 85% at 18:00. Night owls rejoice too, as 21:00 appears to be the magic hour with a perfect 100% recorded win rate at that hour—perhaps fueled by midnight snacks and caffeine.
Despite a humble tilt factor of 3 (yes, Alexey keeps chess anger mostly in check), there’s always room for growth—after all, who among us doesn’t occasionally throw a pawn in despair? Most losses rarely come in painful one-sided blowouts; rather, they’re hard-fought tactical skirmishes that often end with a well-earned resignation.
Competitive Highlights
- Longest winning streak: 12 games (because winning is addictive!)
- Most recent triumph: A hard-fought Slav Defense victory over a 2258-rated opponent, ending by resignation (who says you need a queen to checkmate when you’ve got brains?)
- Most calculated defeats: Occasional losses mostly by time or resignation, proving sometimes even the best players get outplayed on the clock.
Notable Opponents & Records
Alexey2106 has tangled repeatedly with opponents like sidhkk (61.9% win rate) and holds perfect win records against many challengers, showcasing the ability to learn and adapt quickly. The top secret nature of Alexey’s favorite openings may explain why most rivals scratch their heads after matches.
In a Nutshell
From a newcomer to a nearly 2200+ Rapid powerhouse, Alexey2106 embodies the chess grind: methodical, relentless, and quietly deadly. Whether it's grinding out wins in long endgames or catching opponents off-guard with creative opening choices, Alexey is the kind of player who proves that steady progress and tactical patience beat flash-in-the-pan luck any day. So if you face Alexey on the board, remember: sometimes the secret sauce behind a crushing defeat is just years of quiet, persistent chess love.
