Linxi Zhu - FIDE Master Extraordinaire

Meet Linxi Zhu, the chess wizard who proudly dons the title of FIDE Master. Linxi’s chess journey resembles an epic saga where ratings rocket like a grandmaster on a caffeine spree - from humble beginnings in 2020 to dominating online blitz arenas in 2024 and beyond.

Starting with a blitz rating of about 658 in 2020, Linxi unleashed their inner chess beast over the years, soaring to a peak blitz rating of 2660 in 2025. That’s right — they went from “Hmm, what’s castling?” to “Checkmate in 3? Too slow!” faster than you can say “pawn fork.”

Linxi doesn't just play fast; their bullet chess prowess is no joke either, consistently breaking 2300+ in 2024 and 2025, proving lightning-fast moves paired with sharp tactics can bring down even the most seasoned opponents. When it comes to rapid and daily chess, this player blends speed and deep strategic play with a respectable 1980 rapid peak rating.

Playing Style & Personality

Known for an unmatched comeback rate of over 71%, Linxi turns losing positions into dazzling victories – which probably frustrates opponents into blundering early resignations about 16% of the time. If Linxi loses a piece, opponents might as well pack up, as their win rate after losing material is nearly 92%. Talk about turning lemons into lemonade... or rather, a knight into a queen!

Linxi loves the grind of the endgame, playing it in nearly 60% of their games – because nothing says “chess geek” like squeezing the last bit of value from a rook and pawn situation with a grin. On average, games last around 60 moves, proving that this is no quick move hustler; patience is part of the craft.

Fun Facts

• Has achieved an impressive longest winning streak of 50 games - truly a chess marathon runner.
• Prefers to play at odd hours - with peak winning rates around early morning hours like 3 AM and 7 AM. Must be fueled by midnight snacks & caffeine!
• White pieces? Linxi shines with a win rate of 56.42%, but black pieces are no slouch either at 51.36% - so both sides beware!

Linxi Zhu is not just a player; they are a chess phenomenon whose rating history tells a story of steady climb, fierce tactical awareness, and a sporting spirit that wins hearts as often as games.
