Chess Player Profile: elekhn

Meet elekhn, a blitz wizard whose chess rating dances between thrilling highs and suspenseful lows, peaking at a solid 2125 in May 2025. If chess were a sprint, elekhn would be that intense competitor who sprints hard, stumbles occasionally, then comes back blazing—after all, with a comeback rate near 70%, giving up a piece is just another plot twist!

Specializing in sharp openings like the Sicilian Defense Bowdler Attack and the Bishop’s Opening, elekhn wins comfortably over half the time. The Bishops Opening Boi Variation is their personal playground, boasting a whopping 70% win rate there. Unfortunately, the French Defense La Bourdonnais Variation seems to be a bit of a nemesis with only a 36% strike rate—proof that even the best have their tricky foes.

With nearly 300 blitz games under the belt and an almost even split between wins and losses, elekhn plays fast and sometimes furiously. They don’t quit early, resigning less than 2% of the time, preferring to battle it out—sometimes up to an average of 72 moves for a win. That’s a lot of finger gymnastics on the clock!

Speaking of time, the early bird might get the worm, but elekhn’s prime chess hours are oddly zen at 9 AM and afternoon peaks around 2 PM to 6 PM. The win rate shoots up to over 70% at 9 AM — so mornings really are magical. Night owls beware: after 9 PM, things get a bit dicey, with a dip to a low 27% at 7 PM.

elekhn’s psychological resilience is commendable—with a tilt factor of 6 out of 10, they manage emotions better than most casual players (and maybe even some grandmasters). When the chips are down, nakhn doesn’t throw in the towel easily, with a clutch performance that sees them winning nearly half of the games even after losing a piece.

Their recent games tell a story of grit and determination: while some matches ended in nail-biting time forfeits, many victories were earned on smart strategic play, such as a recent escape to victory against "nellsoft" through savvy time management in a complex Sicilian Bowdler Attack on May 30, 2025 (view game).

When not puzzling opponents with tricky openings or coming back from the brink, elekhn probably enjoys offbeat chess humor or pondering just how to defend that pesky French Defense better next time.

In short: elekhn is a blitz battler with a sharp mind, an adventurous style, and an adventurous soul—ready to take on 64 squares at a moment’s notice, proving that every loss is just fuel for the next fiery comeback!
