Meet aylvax, a blitz aficionado whose rating journey reads like an epic novel of highs, lows, and relentless comebacks. Starting from humble beginnings around 1700 in mid-2023, aylvax catapulted to an impressive peak blitz rating of 2532 in April 2025. That's not just progress, it's a chess rocket launch!

With over 6,000 blitz games played and a fighting spirit that shows in an 87.4% comeback rate after setbacks, aylvax doesn’t just play chess — they battle tirelessly until the final move. Known for a fearless approach, they balance aggression and cunning, with an average winning game lasting just about 68 moves but often dragging on for 80 moves in losses — clearly showing their resilience and endurance.

Opening choices? Oh, they've got flair. The Philidor Defense sees them dive in bravely despite a modest ~40% win rate, while their secret weapon, the intriguingly named "Top Secret" opening, boasts a surprising 55% success rate in blitz. And let's not overlook their love for the Sicilian Defense Delayed Alapin Variation and Indian Game, both yielding more wins than losses. Talk about eclectic taste!

When it’s rapid or bullet time, aylvax shines too — hitting a rapid peak rating of 2197 and a bullet max of 2355, proving speed and precision are comrades in their game. Fun fact: they have an almost perfect win record in rapid and a solid bullet game, showing they’re quick both on the clock and on their feet.

Psychologically, aylvax keeps a cool head, sporting one of the lowest tilt factors around (only 16%), although their best time to outwit opponents is surprisingly mornings at 9 AM — a chess player who likes to rise and grind early.

Recent battles have been fierce, with wins showcasing flamboyant attacking chess and losses reminding us even the best stumble. For instance, one of their recent victories featured a daring Sicilian Dragon variation complete with timely queen sacrifices and positional mastery, while setbacks taught lessons on resilience against tricky Queen's Pawn defenses.

Off the board, if chess pieces had personalities, aylvax would be the unpredictable rebel — they don't resign early (only 20% early resignation rate!), preferring to wrestle until the opponent is truly crushed or the timer ticks down mercilessly. With a longest winning streak of 12 games and a current streak still going strong, aylvax proves consistency isn’t just for robots.
