Profile: bodlja
Meet bodlja, a chess player whose journey is as dynamic as a King's Indian Defense Four Pawns Attack! Starting out in 2012 with a Blitz rating just shy of 1400, bodlja's passion and perseverance launched them through the ranks, achieving an impressive peak Blitz rating of 2491 in early 2024. Not bad for someone who once faced opening struggles with the Slav Defense, but now commands a solid 46.79% win rate in the very defense’s battleground!
The Rise
Bodlja's chess rating graph resembles a thrilling roller coaster — with steady climbs punctuated by the odd dip (possibly from accidentally playing bullet chess while half-asleep). However, by 2021, their rapid play reached a peak around 2321 — no slouch, considering the tactical fireworks characteristic of their style.
Playing Style & Strengths
With an average game length of over 77 moves for wins and an even longer 69 for losses, bodlja clearly enjoys the long haul. They're not just playing chess; they are staging epics! Their strength? Relentless endgame expertise — with an endgame frequency of nearly 78%, this player turns late middlegame uncertainty into grand finales more dramatic than any Netflix show.
Psychological resilience is a superpower for bodlja. Their comeback rate after being down is an astonishing 88.31%—meaning if you take a piece from them hoping for an easy win, think again! Their tilt factor is relatively low, ensuring they aren’t the type to rage-quit after a bad move, although their early resignation rate hovers at a modest 0.63%.
Tactical Preferences
Like a true strategist, bodlja thrives with openings such as:
- King’s Indian Defense Four Pawns Attack — boasting a 52.61% win rate over 2600+ games
- Queen’s Gambit Declined Exchange (Reshevsky Variation) with a fierce 56.77% win rate
- Benko Gambit Half Accepted, which yields a pretty balanced game with 50.13% wins
A Life in Blitz
With over 17,600 wins and nearly as many losses (18,300+), bodlja is a battle-hardened Blitz warrior who never seems to back down. While the draw count sits at about 2,400, this player’s games are less about settling for peace and more about pushing for that thrilling last-move victory.
Highlights and Habits
A glance at their time-of-day win rates reveals an unexpected truth: bodlja’s best chess hours start at midnight!
