Alfiegresh: The Unconventional Rapid Dynamo

Meet Alfiegresh, a spirited rapid chess player whose journey on the 64 squares is as adventurous as a rollercoaster ride — with all the thrilling ups, downs, and unexpected twists. Sporting a peak rapid rating of 239 as of May 2025, Alfiegresh dances on the border of chess mastery and delightful chaos, proving that it’s not always about the rating but the stories told in every move.

Rating Rollercoaster & Game Stats

In 2025 alone, Alfiegresh played nearly 100 rapid games, with energetic swings ranging from a high of 239 down to a humble 114, and currently chilling around 135. With 35 wins, 45 losses, and 14 draws, the win-loss record reflects a fighter who never shies away from a duel—even if it means bravely accepting defeat now and then.

Opening Adventures

Not a one-trick pony! Alfiegresh favors a buffet of openings—from the ambitious Queen’s Pawn Opening to the daring Englund Gambit, and even the elusive Van t Kruijs Opening which boasts a respectable 60% win rate. The highest win rates come from challenging and tricky lines, including a 50% success rate in the Englund Gambit and solid performances handling the King’s Pawn Leonardis Variation. Clearly, Alfiegresh loves to keep opponents guessing!

Playing Style & Trends

With an early resignation rate of 26.67%, Alfiegresh knows when to call it quits—and likely avoids those sinking ships faster than you can say “checkmate.” Endgames appear fairly often (around 45% of the time), with wins averaging over 41 moves—so patience and persistence are definitely part of the toolkit. Interestingly, Alfiegresh performs marginally better with Black (38.3% wins) than White (36.17% wins), proving color is just a number on the scoreboard.

Tactical Insights & Comebacks

The comeback king? With a 60% comeback rate after falling behind, Alfiegresh turns adversity into opportunity. Though a modest 30% win rate after losing material hints at room for tactical growth, resilience remains top-notch. The tilt factor is low (3), so don’t expect any emotional meltdowns here—just calm, calculated chess chaos.

Psychological Quirks

An interesting tidbit: Alfiegresh is at peak form at midnight (00:00), clocking a perfect 100% win rate during this mysterious “witching hour.” Maybe it’s the quiet night vibes or just the power of chess moonlight—either way, a grandmaster in the making when the world sleeps.

Memorable Battles

Recent game highlights include a victory against greenwin123dow by winning on time in a Scandinavian Defense tussle, showcasing solid endgame tactics and patience. However, not all tales end glittering; a swift checkmate loss to akvinss reminds us that even the best can be caught off guard by the infamous Scholar’s Mate.

Opponent Relations

Alfiegresh seems to have a love-hate relationship with opponents like miacornwall (50% win rate) and a perfect record against various others like greenwin123dow, lferda05, and thieshuian. Notably, the player struggles against a few (e.g., akvinss, yn_tortapounder) with no wins recorded, showing there’s always a rival out there to spur further growth.

In Summary

If chess were a sitcom, Alfiegresh would be the lovable protagonist who tries every crazy gambit, stumbles spectacularly, but bounces back with a grin and an offbeat checkmate. Rapid ratings may fluctuate, but the passion and amusing unpredictability remain constant.
So, whether you face Alfiegresh at 3 PM or the bewitching hour, expect a battle full of surprises, resilience, and a splash of chess comedy. After all, winning on time is also winning!
