Meet Sophie Milliet
Sophie Milliet, known online as chebi34, is a titled competitor with the FIDE International Master title. Whether she is playing bullet, blitz, or rapid, she brings a sharp, practical edge to the board. Her profile lists Rapid as her preferred time control, and her 2020 Rapid results explain why: five wins, no losses, and three draws.
An Online Grinder
From 2018 to 2020, Sophie played more than 2,900 analyzed games online. She collected over 1,600 wins, just over 1,180 losses, and 186 draws. Her games were rarely quick affairs, with decisive battles averaging around 75 moves and draws often stretching deep into triple digits. Her Blitz rating climbed from below 1800 to a peak of 2537 (2020-04-28), while her Rapid rating reached 2472 (2020-09-30). The chart below shows her Blitz progression over that period.
Opening Repertoire and Favorite Battlegrounds
When Sophie has White, she is remarkably loyal to 1.e4. She scores well against the Caro-Kann Defense, enjoys the Burn Variation of the French Defense, and regularly plays the Moscow and Chekhover lines against the Sicilian Defense. Her median preparation depth also increased from four moves in 2018 to six moves in 2020, showing a growing appetite for preparation.
As Black, she is a dedicated Sicilian player, with the Najdorf Variation and Taimanov lines appearing often in her games. She also handles closed Sicilian positions extremely well as Black. Her opening performance chart shows the wide range of weapons in her arsenal.
Rivalries and Familiar Faces
A long online career creates familiar rivals. Sophie faced Djavid Aslanov twenty times, with a record of seven wins, twelve losses, and one draw. She also played Wael twenty times, and traded blows with nebon n, Calmcrush, and Joshua Lim on a regular basis. Her meetings with Calmcrush were especially one-sided: eleven wins against four losses.
Fighting Spirit and Late Night Magic
Sophie's statistics paint a picture of resilience. She once won thirteen games in a row, and even an eleven-game losing streak did not stop her. Her comeback rate sits near 86 percent, and she still wins more than half of her games after losing a piece. She also tends to be the first player to deliver a check, landing the first attack in about 61 percent of her games.
Time of day matters, apparently. Her best winning percentage comes at 23:00, where she wins about 70 percent of her games. If you see her online at that hour, beware: the queen is likely out.
The Rapid Finish
While most of her recorded volume is in Blitz, her Rapid samples are nearly perfect. In the Rapid games captured in her profile, Sophie won five, drew three, and never lost. That unbeaten run, combined with a strong overall style, demonstrates that she can switch gears from fast time controls to a more measured pace. Her record across all time controls shows a player who is comfortable taking risks, defending stubbornly, and outlasting tough opposition.
