Failinghabit - International Master

Meet Failinghabit, a chess International Master whose rating seems to fluctuate almost as wildly as their username suggests! With a peak blitz rating soaring to an impressive 2850 in February 2025, this player clearly knows their way around the board — even if the name hints at an old tendency to stumble.

Known for their dogged determination, Failinghabit has amassed over 849 wins in blitz chess and 21 wins in bullet, proving that even if failure sometimes visits, it certainly doesn’t stick around for long. Their comeback rate is a staggering 90.23%, confirming they don't just bounce back — they leap back onto the battlefield with gusto.

Failinghabit prefers long, tactical battles with an average of roughly 81 moves per victory in blitz. The depth of their games is reflected in an endgame frequency above 85%, showing a resilience and patience that turn apparently lost causes into stunning wins. Their psychological tilt factor is modest at 8, but perhaps that’s just the inner gamer laughing at the irony of their own username.

Opening Mastery

Opening mysteries? Failinghabit’s favorite is the ominously titled “Top Secret” opening with an almost 49% win rate over more than 1400 games, suggesting they like to keep opponents guessing. The Italian Game also features prominently, highlighted by their recent wins using the Two Knights Modern Bishops variation — a classic battleground where sharp tactics rule and kings occasionally run for cover.

Playing Style & Personality

Playing predominantly blitz and bullet, Failinghabit favors dynamic positions and isn’t afraid of a little chaos. Their win rate with White stands at nearly 52%, a testament to their ability to seize the initiative early. With a tendency to resign early only 1.11% of the time, this is a fighter who battles until the last pawn falls or the clock runs out — often with a flourish.

Their best playing hours intriguingly fall around 2 AM, making one wonder if the quiet hours inspire brilliant combinations or just serve as the perfect moment to outwit sleepy opponents.

A Memorable Recent Win

On June 2, 2025, playing White, Failinghabit dazzled opponents with a crushing victory in the Italian Game, Two Knights Modern Bishops Opening. The game was marked by precise attacking moves and ended when their opponent bowed out in resignation after 40 energetic moves — a proper display from a player who never backs down from a scrap.

• Peak Blitz Rating: 2850
• Impressive Comeback Skills: 90.23% comeback rate
• Endgame Specialist: 85.33% endgame frequency
• Opening Whisperer: Master of the secretive “Top Secret” opening
