Fabi Villacura - The Blitz Tactician

Meet Fabi Villacura, also known in the chess realm as fabixxx1, a tenacious blitz and bullet player whose rating rollercoaster is as thrilling as a wild chess gambit. With a peak blitz rating of 279 in April 2025 and a bullet peak knocking closely behind at 278, Fabi is no stranger to fast-paced, adrenaline-pumping games.

Fabi’s style is a delightful mix of aggressive openings and resilient comebacks. The Scandinavian Defense and Bishop's Opening are their favorite battlegrounds, boasting win rates exceeding 60%. When Fabi locks into the Scandinavian, opponents better prepare for fireworks!

Behind the numbers lies a player who comes back stronger—boasting a remarkable 74.88% comeback rate after facing setbacks. However, this fiery spirit sometimes faces hurdles, reflected in an infamous longest losing streak of 9 games (we’ve all been there!). Interestingly, the average game lasts about 40 moves, proving that Fabi is in it for the long tactical tussle, not just rapid-fire attacks.

Timing is everything: Fabi shines brightest at 9 AM with a surprising 100% win rate at 9 and 8 AM (early birds really do get the pawns!). However, between 15:00 and 21:00, results can be a bit unpredictable—perhaps hinting at too much caffeine or the irresistible lure of pizza distraction.

Despite a roller-coaster win/loss record (209 wins to 265 losses in blitz), Fabi’s fighting spirit is undeniable. Games often end on time victories or bold resignations, showing both patience and courage. Among fierce rivals, gdg43f and 4lght seem to be Fabi’s lucky charms—100% win rates say it all.
