Rating Rollercoaster
From a steady daily rating hovering around 1500 to blitz peaks nearing 1900 and bullet breaks past 2000, Alex’s rating history reads like a thrilling saga of ups, downs, and comebacks. It’s like watching a knight on an epic quest - sometimes zigzagging, sometimes charging ahead!
Winning Streaks & Style

Psychological toughness? Tilt factor is 119 — a number so high, it suggests Alex might be muttering to their pieces or blaming the pawns when things get tricky, but hey, that’s chess drama for you!
Favorite Openings
Alex’s opening repertoire is a blend of mystery and classic brutality. The “Top Secret” opening alone accounts for hundreds of games with a win rate north of 66%. When not being mysterious, Alex dominates with beloved classics such as the Sicilian Defense and King’s Pawn Opening, boasting win rates upwards of 80% in daily games. Clearly, Alex knows how to set the stage for a chess spectacle.
Time & Tempo
Alex is at their most ferocious on Friday evenings and mornings around 7 AM and 11 AM, with win rates exceeding 60%. Perhaps fueled by coffee, adrenaline, or the early bird advantage, Alex’s timing is impeccable - except maybe for those low-hanging early morning blunders between 2 and 3 AM where the win rate dips, likely thanks to dreaming about blundering queens.
Game Durations & Strategy
Alex’s games are marathons rather than sprints, averaging about 63 moves per win and nearly 69 moves per loss. This suggests they love a good tussle, savoring each move and patiently coaxing mistakes out of their opponents — or nervously holding on for dear life while plotting the next tactical masterpiece. Their endgame frequency is impressively high at 66%, showing that Alex isn’t afraid to get down to the nitty-gritty and outwit opponents piece by piece.
Community & Challenge
Having squared off hundreds of times with opponents like lschess and maintained a respectable win rate against many, Alex is well-entrenched in the competitive chess community. Yet, they’re known not just for wins but also for that occasional humble loss, which only adds to their charm.
In summary, Alex is a resilient, unpredictable, and at times hilariously human chess player who keeps opponents on their toes and fans entertained. Chess with Alex is never boring — it’s an unpredictable adventure filled with mystery openings, brave comebacks, and those heartfelt "Oops, that was my bad" moments.
