Profile Summary: blixini
Meet blixini, a formidable chess enthusiast whose journey from a cautious 100 rating to a peak Rapid rating of 400 in 2025 is nothing short of inspirational. This player has been lighting up the online chessboard with impressive tactical flair, especially in Rapid and Blitz games.
The Rise and Styles
Starting with a modest Blitz rating of 100 in early 2025, blixini quickly accelerated, crossing a peak Blitz rating of 361 by May. Rapid games, however, are their true kingdom, boasting a max rating of 400 – a mark many dream of. Bullet chess sees blixini holding strong at a respectable 388 peak rating, proving speed is also their game.
Opening Arsenal
blixini loves variety but has a notable preference for smart and solid defenses like the Caro Kann Defense and aggressive approaches like the Italian Game. Their Scandinavian Defense with the Mieses Kotrc variation shines in Blitz with a 75% win rate, and they absolutely dominate the Queens Pawn Opening in Blitz with a perfect win record.
Playing Style & Mental Game
Known for an average of about 58 moves per win, blixini is a marathoner, patiently outplaying opponents deep into the endgame (55.4% endgame occurrence). Never one to simply give up, they boast a comeback rate of over 63%, proving resilience is their middle name. They resign early only about 8% of the time—because tough it out, they must.
Recent Battles
blixini’s recent wins come with a theatrical flair: they tend to finish games by resignation, sparing both the agony of long endings and the drama of checkmate — though they've had their share of heroic checkmate victories as well. Their latest victory (May 30, 2025) included a brilliant strategic queen quest in a Queens Pawn Opening, forcing the opponent to tremble and resign.
Strengths and Quirks
- Best playing hour: Early morning around 07:00 — apparently their brain is freshest before the coffee kicks in.
- Win rates by color: White pieces give a distinct edge (54% wins), while Black offers a tougher hill to climb with a 40% win rate.
- Psychological edge: Battle-tested with a tilt factor of 7, blixini occasionally feels the heat but bounces back stronger.
- Favorite time to wreck foes: Thrives on Thursday and Friday, cruising with win rates above 50%, but beware Tuesday—the day blixini’s luck dips to 35%.
Records & Rivalries
blixini has squared off the most times against brivette (20 games). Their overall scorecard looks like a thrill ride of wins, losses, and draws, but fun fact: blixini has a perfect 100% win record against some opponents, including shotokantiger – a recent victim in an intense Blitz showdown.
In Conclusion
Whether blitzing through tactics or methodically unraveling defenses in rapid time controls, blixini combines patience, grit, and a pinch of unpredictability. Not just your regular chess player, blixini turns the 64 squares into a playground of triumphs and challenges — and is always ready for the next game, no matter the hour.
