Alexander Khlebovich
International Master (IM) – The Blitz Wizard
Alexander Khlebovich might just be the chess player who laughs in the face of time trouble. Awarded the distinguished title of International Master by FIDE, Alexander has dazzled the chess world with his lightning-fast reflexes and tactical genius, especially in blitz chess.
With a peak blitz rating flirting with a breathtaking 2906 in 2022, Alexander has played over 14,000 blitz games, winning nearly 6,000 of them. Those who dare face him on the board quickly learn: his Longest Winning Streak is a staggering 26 games, proving he’s not just fast, he’s furious!
Bullet games? Bring it on. Alexander’s bullet max rating soared to 2603 in 2019, where rapid-fire decision-making and nerves of steel are mandatory. He has also dipped his toes in rapid and daily chess, maintaining respectable performances, but let’s be honest—this is his lightning arena.
Playing Style & Quirks
- Average moves per win: 80. A marathon of tactical endurance rather than a quick sprint.
- Comeback king: With a 90.82% comeback rate, losing a piece? Pfft—watch him turn the tables with almost 99% success after losing material.
- Endgame Maestro: Engages in endgames 87% of the time, proving patience is a virtue—and checkmate is the reward.
- Tilt Factor: A humble 10. This means Alexander tilts less often than your average weekend warrior—although he might throw in a dramatic sigh or two.
Rivalries & Encounters
Alexander’s most played opponents include stalwarts like gm_dmitrij (115 games), noukii (111 games), and honestgirl (104 games). Against some unlucky players, his win rates reach a perfect 100%, suggesting he knows how to capitalize on just about anything—kind of like a chess shark sniffing blood in the water.
Fun stats to chew on:
- Almost 7,000 blitz losses? Clearly, Alexander doesn't play it safe—he swings for the fences every game.
- 100% win rate in daily chess over a small sample size—maybe he just hasn’t found daily opponents brave enough to challenge him regularly.
- His preferred opening? It’s classified as Top Secret, so don’t expect to catch a hint anytime soon!
When Alexander steps up to the board, whether ticking down seconds in bullet or navigating the heat of blitz, you can expect a thrilling blend of strategic depth and tactical fireworks. Opponents beware: this IM doesn’t just play chess—he dominates it with a dash of flair, a pinch of resilience, and maybe a joke or two before delivering mate.
