Player Profile: byich

Meet byich, a relentless chess enthusiast navigating the battlefield one move at a time. With a peak Bullet rating of 468, Blitz at a commendable 525, and Rapid soaring up to 451, byich is no stranger to the rapid-paced chaos that online chess dishes out. Daily games? Eh, not their jam, but the occasional battle is still fought with fiery determination!

Playing Style & Strengths

Known for a surprisingly high comeback rate of 66.59%, byich never gives up—even when the chips are down. Losing a piece? No problem, with a 43.6% win rate after such setbacks, showing resilience rivaling that of a cockroach under a boot. Though an early resignation rate of around 14% suggests some practical realism (or perhaps impatience?), when byich sticks around, games tend to last just under 47 moves on average.

Opening Repertoire

Openings are a mixed bag – from the tricky Englund Gambit where byich shines with an 80% win rate in bullet, to a fondness for the classic King's Pawn Opening which boasts an impressive 80% win rate in Bullet as well.
The Van Geet Opening Reversed Nimzowitsch Variation is a special weapon, boasting a respectable win rate in both Bullet (52%) and Rapid (46%) formats — just the kind of quirky surprise move to keep opponents on their toes!

Psychological Quirks & Best Time to Strike

Chess is as much psychological battle as intellectual contest, and byich’s tilt factor of 8 means a few setbacks can get under their skin. Luckily, their sharpest plays appear around 11 PM — perfect for nocturnal ambushes when the world sleeps, and so do their opponents’ concentration levels.

Memorable Games

A recent gem showed byich checkmating with the Englund Gambit as Black against Simantosarker2024, proving gambits aren’t just trickery — sometimes, they’re brutal art! If time runs out, well, byich has won on time multiple times, suggesting a mastery of clock-pressure that could frustrate even the steeliest opponents.

Record & Rivalries

With over 110 wins in Rapid and an almost even split in Bullet victories and losses, byich brings both fight and flair. Opponents like Simantosarker2024, OmerBachar11, Miguel1161, and mettalica692 know there’s no easy game when facing byich. Sometimes, the board is a battlefield, sometimes it’s a guessing game – but byich always plays to win... or at least, to keep everyone entertained.
