Bishopbla: The Relentless Knight of Rapid and Blitz

Meet bishopbla, a chess warrior whose tactics dance between calculated finesse and lightning-fast intuition. With a peak Rapid rating of 1940 and a top Blitz rating of 1800 in 2025, bishopbla proves that this player is a force not to be underestimated on the digital battlefield.

Known for a gritty average game length—winning on average in about 65 moves but never shying away from protracted duels lasting nearly 80 moves even in defeat—bishopbla's games are anything but boring. They thrive in the endgame, where nearly 74% of their battles unfold, showcasing their patience and strategic depth.

Favorite openings tell a story of a player who loves to keep opponents guessing. From the reliable Owens Defense (played 191 times with just about a 48% success rate) to the spicy lines of the Sicilian Defense, bishopbla can switch from solid to aggressive faster than you can say "checkmate." The Vienna Game Max Lange Defense yields a whopping 69% win rate, perhaps bishopbla's secret weapon!

Bishopbla’s psychological resilience is noteworthy. With a staggering 82.5% comeback rate after setbacks and a tilt factor of only 8 (because even the best have their off moments), this player embodies the mantra: “The game’s not over until the king’s down.” And if things go south, no worries—early resignations are almost non-existent.

Playing mostly in the afternoon and evening, bishopbla’s best time to crush their opponents is around 10 AM—when the brain is sharp and the pawns are marching. Whether playing as White or Black, bishopbla has a slight edge as White, winning just over 52% of those encounters.
