Felix: The Chess Challenger
Known in the chess world as felixchamp01, Felix has been navigating the 64 squares with a unique blend of grit, wit, and occasional surprises. In 2024, Felix's chess journey has been nothing short of a rollercoaster — climbing to a Daily peak rating of 1023 before settling at 687, showing that every defeat just fuels the comeback fire.
Felix's true comfort zone appears in Rapid chess where he's played an impressive 177 games, scoring a respectable 62% win rate using his Top Secret opening. Rapid battles tend to bring out his best, with a streak of 22 consecutive wins marking his longest winning spree—a feat that suggests even the chess gods had to take a coffee break.
In Blitz and Bullet formats, Felix is the classic underdog: quick on the draw but still chasing that lightning-fast brilliance, with max ratings of 459 and 324 respectively. His bullet games reveal a healthy respect for haste, balancing an average of about 25 moves per game and a curious 42.8% win rate in his favorite openings. Playing fast and sometimes furious, Felix knows when to push hard and when to call it quits early—he resigns early just over 10% of the time, proving he's no stranger to knowing when the board says “not today.”
Felix is a master of comebacks, boasting a 50.7% rally success rate and an impressive 100% win rate after losing a piece—clearly showing he doesn't panic when the chips are down (or the queens are captured!). His approach is strategic, with longer games averaging nearly 45 moves when winning, versus close to 38 for losses, suggesting patience and persistence are his allies.
On the psychological front, Felix keeps his cool better than most, with a tilt factor of just 7, despite a slight struggle when switching from rated to casual games (-9% win difference). Interesting times are Felix’s favorite, as his prime performance hours are between 6 PM and 9 PM, boasting near-perfect win rates at 18:00 and 21:00—perhaps he’s just a night owl who thinks two moves ahead!
When it comes to opponents, Felix has a love-hate relationship. He dominates some players with 100% win rates but hasn’t quite cracked others, such as superseastar9, against whom victory remains elusive. And yes, Felix apparently knows a lot of players with the username “theproatchessicanbeat”—though that remains open to debate.
In short, Felix is an adaptable, resilient, and sometimes cheeky player—forever learning, forever improving, and always ready for the next game. Whether it’s a slow, contemplative Rapid match or a lightning Blitz showdown, you can bet felixchamp01 is there, plotting his next “Top Secret” move.
