About Alexz-04

Alexz-04 is a stalwart of the online chess battlegrounds, known for a turbulent but determined climb through the rating ranks since their debut in May 2020 with a Rapid rating of 1101. As a player who has danced with the highs and lows of competitive play, Alexz-04 has shown both moments of brilliance and the agony of defeat — with a longest winning streak of 4 games and an equally humbling longest losing streak of 6.

Playing Style & Stats

Preferring the rapid and sometimes chaotic pace of Rapid and Blitz formats, Alexz-04 has a knack for endurance, averaging about 50 moves in victories and a slightly longer 53 moves in losses. Their play includes a solid 45.54% focus on endgames, with a modest 6.9% early resignation rate (because sometimes knowing when to throw in the towel is tactical too).

With a comeback rate of an impressive 56.86%, Alexz-04 has a streak of resilience that keeps fans guessing. Although the player has a tougher time converting games after losing a piece (winning only 33.72% in such situations), that doesn’t stop them from battling on till the very end.

Tactics & Opponents

Alexz-04’s opening repertoire might be described as "Unknown Opening" aficionados, with nearly 90 Rapid games played mostly under that category. They’ve flirted with the Top Secret openings too, but with a win rate hovering near 40%, it’s clear Alexz-04 prefers surprises over secrets.

Their rivalry list is a quirky mix. Against "zimbo41" and "dalibor6666", results hover evenly, but against "caggdaddy", "joshlatoza", "vipul2310", and a host of others, Alexz-04 boasts a 100% win record—talk about selective demolitions! Some opponents have clearly found Alexz-04’s style less endearing, resulting in zero wins for the challenger in those matchups.

Recent Battles

In their latest notable victory, Alexz-04 crushed "Akesayepumi" after a tense 21-move rapid game featuring the Pirc Defense's Maroczy Variation. The game ended in a victory thanks to tactical precision and a timely knight capture that sealed the deal.

Despite these ups, defeat also follows: a recent loss came via time-out against "Ewenmm", a reminder that even the best can be undone by the clock (or maybe coffee failure).

In Summary

Alexz-04 might not be a grandmaster yet, but with resilience, a midnight playing streak, and a flexible style that thrives on unpredictability, they certainly bring excitement to every game. Expect bold moves, a few surprises, and the occasional eyebrow-raising resignation — because in chess, as in life, sometimes you gamble and sometimes you fold.
