Welcome to the curious chess chronicles of by-xhxx, a rapid chess enthusiast who dances on the 64 squares with a style uniquely their own. With a current rapid rating lingering at 349 in the year 2025, they’ve already played an impressive 590 rapid games — about the same number of coffee breaks a hardcore player might take while studying openings!

Career Highlights & Playing Style

by-xhxx’s games are a rollercoaster: their win/loss/draw record stands closely matched with 247 wins, 290 losses, and 53 draws. Experienced in the heat of battle, they rarely quit early — their early resignation rate is a modest 5.86%, proving they fight to the last move, whether the battlefield is looking bleak or promising.
Endgames? They can’t get enough — with over 55% of their games reaching the final stages. A patient tactician, by-xhxx tends to play longer on average when they’re losing (about 57 moves) compared to winning (54 moves), perhaps hunting for that perfect comeback. And come back they can: boasting an impressive 57.5% comeback rate, and a perfect 100% win rate after losing a piece, they're the Houdini of the chessboard.

Opening Preferences

When it comes to openings, by-xhxx prefers classical and somewhat quirky paths alike:

  • King’s Pawn Opening: Their favorite playground with 80 games and close to 48% wins. Although the “King’s Knight Variation” is a bit trickier for them (only 35% win rate), they still dare to venture there.
  • Scotch Game: A relatively strong weapon with 44% success over 41 games - perfect for shaking the opponent out of the routine.
  • Scandinavian Defense: 19 games and an almost equal win/loss ratio, proving by-xhxx isn’t afraid to embrace the edgy and unorthodox.

They also occasionally experiment with less common openings like the Van ’t Kruijs or Indian Game, showing a genuine curiosity for chess’s vast diversity but with mixed success.

Notable Opponents and Results

by-xhxx boasts some strikingly polarized results against frequent rivals. There are players they have defeated every single time (hello, julienlbg18 and hunny2323!), while others have yet to fall (sorry, mhamed0025 and psychikx – the struggle is real).

Engagements with opponents like oskerushe have yielded a balanced 50% win rate, showing that some rivalries remain intriguingly competitive and close.

When is by-xhxx at Their Best?

Looking at their performance by day and hour, Fridays and Tuesdays seem to bring their mojo out — winning more than half the games on Friday (52.7%) and nearly half on Tuesday (45.8%). Night owls, take note: the 16th hour (4 PM) yields the highest win rate at 64.5%, while evenings around 7-9 PM are also quite fruitful.

Psychology & Quirks

With a tilt factor of 9, by-xhxx sometimes lets emotions creep into the battlefield — but hey, who doesn’t? The player also has a substantial rated-vs-casual win difference of about 42%, probably meaning they bring serious game when the stakes are on.

Recent Games Snapshot

Among the latest showdowns:

  • A striking Scotch Game victory by resignation, showcasing effective early pressure and solid endgame play.
  • A thrilling comeback win by checkmate in a Ruy Lopez variation, affirming strong tactical vision.
  • A humbling loss by checkmate early in a King's Pawn-King's Knight Variation — proof that even the best have off days.

In Short:

by-xhxx is a tenacious rapid player who embraces both classic theory and the chaos of the board. With a penchant for long battles, strategic comebacks, and a mixed bag of opening choices, they are carving their path through the ranks one exciting game at a time. Expect mistakes, grit, and perhaps the occasional “Wait—what just happened?” moment.
