Philipp Aeschbach - The FIDE Master with a Dash of Chess Flair
Philipp Aeschbach, known online by the mysterious moniker blubbiblubb, is no ordinary player—holding the esteemed title of FIDE Master. This chess enthusiast blends strategic brilliance with a touch of unconventional style that keeps opponents on their toes (and often wondering if the queen just did a little dance).
Playing Career Highlights
Philipp's peak blitz rating soared to a striking 2325 in July 2017, making him a formidable force when the clock starts ticking down. Not to be outdone, his bullet games have seen him climb up to 2114, blazing through rapid-fire exchanges with tactical awareness reminiscent of a grandmaster’s reflexes—which might explain the impressive 88% comeback rate after losing material.
Chess Style & Stats
With a penchant for deep endgames (played in nearly 80% of his matches), Philipp’s patience is legendary—his average winning game stretching to nearly 78 moves. Opponents have reported his play from both White and Black pieces is quite balanced, with a White win rate above 62% and an equally respectable 52% when playing Black.
Legend has it he maintains a strict “no early resignation” philosophy, only bowing out less than 1% of the time prematurely. His resilience? Unmatched!
Win Records & Opponents
Philipp’s record is colorfully decorated with victories against a broad range of opponents, boasting 100% win rates against several challengers (take note, milica71, ninad_chess, savaof22 and their friends!). His longest winning streak of 17 games might just qualify him for a marathon runner award—if chess marathons were a thing.
Recent Triumph
On June 5th, 2022, Philipp clinched a brilliant victory in a Live Chess event against anna_bogacheva, sealing the deal with a graceful resignation from his opponent. The game featured the English Opening, and Philipp’s strategic play led to a checkmate after a series of incisive moves. This recent win nicely capped off a streak of confident performances in 2022.
The Human Behind the Rating
Fun fact: Philipp seems to shine brightest late at night and early morning, often boasting a perfect 100% win rate during the mysterious hours of midnight to 1AM—and, intriguingly, at 4 and 23 o’clock. Whether it’s the quiet or the moonlight strategy, these hours appear to unlock his chess wizardry.
All in all, Philipp Aeschbach is a tactical virtuoso with a solid track record, a strong psychological game, and just enough unpredictability to keep the chess world guessing. If there was a chess equivalent of a Swiss Army knife, Philipp would be it—versatile, sharp, and ready for anything!
