Player Profile: Avi_0135
Meet Avi_0135 — a chess enthusiast navigating the battlefield of 64 squares with a rollercoaster rating journey that can best be described as an emotional thriller rather than a smooth climb. Avi’s peak Rapid rating reached a commendable yet humbling 800 in April 2025, followed by a dip and a more stable but modest 344 by June. Clearly, Avi plays for the love of the game... and occasionally for the "thrill" of a good losing streak (longest so far: 8 games in a row).
Though Avi's Blitz stats are brief — only a handful of games — their preferred playground seems to be the Rapid format, where they've engaged in 250+ games with 101 wins, 131 losses, and 18 draws. The endgame is Avi’s domain, appearing in over half their games, and with an average of around 52 moves per win, patience is (somewhat) a virtue here.
Opening Choices: Pick Your Battles
- King's Pawn Opening (and the pesky King's Knight Variation): Avi has a love-hate relationship here — 22 games with only ~18% wins, but a better 45% in the Knight Variation, proving they might be experimenting with their knights' charm.
- Petrov's Defense & Philidor Defense: Their secret weapons, boasting over 50% win rates. Looks like Avi enjoys solid and classical openings that pay off more than the flashier but riskier alternatives.
- Queen's Pawn Openings: Less successful, with Avi managing only about an 18-20% win rate, perhaps a territory for future improvement.
Notable Stats & Quirks
- Comeback King: Avi bounces back impressively, winning nearly 70% of games where they faced a setback.
- Early Resignation Rate: Around 9%, meaning Avi sometimes knows when to fold 'em, preferring to save energy for the next round.
- Best Time to Play: Midnight hour champ! With a win rate peaking at 100% at 11 PM and strong performances in the wee early hours, Avi might just be fueled by moonlight and caffeine.
- Streaks: Pride in the 7-game winning streak but mindful of the 8-game losing streak — the true chess warrior’s cycle.
Psychological Notes
Avi’s tilt factor stands at 8, showing that while frustration lurks, it's kept in check more often than not. Interestingly, Avi tends to perform better against lower-rated players (huge winning percentage) but struggles to crack the code against stronger foes, resulting in more losses while facing above-rated opponents.
Recent Battles
Avi’s latest notable victory was a dramatic checkmate against Umair307 on June 1, 2025, after a strategic sparring using King's Pawn Opening – King's Knight Variation, echoing their favorite battlegrounds. Though the road isn't always smooth, as reflected by recent losses to opponents like RoiAz10, Avi shows resilience and a thirst for knowledge from every game.
Whether it's mastering the intricacies of the Philidor Defense or maneuvering clever knight tactics in the King's Knight Variation, Avi_0135 brings a unique blend of charm, persistence, and a touch of midnight magic to the chessboard. Maybe not yet Magnus-level, but definitely a fun and fighting player worth following!
