Felix Izeta Txabarri - Grandmaster of the 64 Squares
Meet Felix Izeta Txabarri, a chess Grandmaster whose brain operates at the speed of light—or at least at a peak blitz rating close to it: a sizzling 2604 achieved in October 2024. If chess were a battleground, Felix would be the general whose tactics leave opponents both dazzled and dismayed.
Felix's journey through the chess universe is adorned with impressive streaks and iron resilience. From a rapid rating starting at a modest 2000 in early 2022, Felix soared to a peak rapid rating of 2588 in January 2024, reflecting steady improvement and an insatiable hunger for victory. This grandmaster loves a good rapid and blitz battle, having played thousands of games with over 3,900 wins in blitz alone—clearly not someone who shies away from the fire of fast-paced encounters.
While some players fold under pressure, Felix's tactical awareness shines through, boasting a remarkable comeback rate of 87.1%. Which means when pieces are lost, Felix isn’t down for long—turning crisis into opportunity with creative genius. The average game length suggests a thoughtful strategist too, with over 70 moves per game, savoring every move like a fine wine.
Felix is a master of the mysterious "Unknown Opening," winning over 57% in rapid games and holding solid results in an enigmatic "Top Secret" opening, which keeps opponents guessing (and likely scratching their heads). Preferred playtimes include early mornings when the world is quiet, specifically around 6 AM, perhaps sipping coffee while plotting the next devastating attack.
The psychological profile? A tilt factor of 10 shows Felix might get annoyed like the rest of us mere mortals, but when it comes to sticking the landing, this grandmaster has the nerves of steel to keep composure. Early resignations are rare—only 0.22%—indicating a fighter who battles on to the bitter end.
A Glimpse Into Recent Battles
In one recent live chess duel, Felix dismantled the opponent’s defenses with the classical Giuoco Piano (just to sprinkle some traditional spice), winning decisively by resignation after a well-fought skirmish. Not all games end in triumph, of course. One recent loss came as a result of a checkmate by a daring opponent in a Blumenfeld Countergambit, illustrating that even grandmasters have those humbling moments.
Whether grinding long daily games or blitzing through online showdowns, Felix Izeta Txabarri embodies the relentless spirit of chess mastery with a hint of humor, a furtive wink, and enough brainpower to power a supercomputer. Opponents beware: the grandmaster lurking behind the username GuessChess_game is as formidable as they come—and likely to outsmart you before your opening moves settle.
