Atilla Eynullayev (HATilay) - FIDE Master Extraordinaire
Atilla Eynullayev, known online by the enigmatic handle HATilay, is a formidable grandmaster of the fast-paced chess jungle, holding the prestigious title of FIDE Master. Whether we're talking about blitz, bullet, or rapid, Atilla has been setting virtual boards on fire with a peak bullet rating soaring near 2800 and a blitz peak above 2700—numbers that strike fear into lesser mortals and inspire awe in chess aficionados.
The Speed Demon of the 64 Squares
While many mortal players break a sweat after a few moves, Atilla’s average number of moves per win often exceeds 80 moves, proving resilience and grit (or maybe just a love for long, dramatic battles). With an endgame frequency of over 83%, Atilla enjoys dancing through the late stages of the game like a virtuoso, happily squeezing every last pawn and piece for that sweet victory.
Playing Style and Psychological Quirks
Hugely tactical, Atilla boasts an impressive comeback rate near 90% — stubbornly clawing out wins even when down a piece. But beware their tiny tilt factor of 10, meaning losing a game is about as traumatic as losing a sock in the laundry—annoying, but hardly career-ending. Interestingly, their best time to play chess is at 23:00, when the brain kicks into overdrive and the queen starts pulling double duty.
Favorite Openings (or "Battle Cries")
- Blitz: Caro-Kann Defense (Advance Variation) and King's Indian Defense Semi Averbakh System, with a respectable win rate often hovering around 55%
- Bullet: Caro-Kann & Sicilian Defense leading the charge, proving speed and strategy are no contradiction.
- Rapid: Nimzo Indian Defense Bishop Attack—classic and cunning.
Notable Recent Battles
Atilla’s most recent victories are a testament to both tactical brilliance and chronic time management prowess — including a slick checkmate delivered against ingmec99 and victories over high-rated opponents by forcing resignations and winning on time with the king barely breaking a sweat.
The Opponents and the Story
With a substantial win record against a wide pool of opponents, Atilla seems quite comfortable dominating expectedly and occasionally surprising the favorites. The frequent clashes with usernames like logicbaba, ferrante89, and khatanbaatarbazar have produced epic fights—some sweet wins, some dramatic losses, and a whole lot of respect earned.
Whether it’s blitz, bullet, or rapid, Atilla Eynullayev continues to push the boundaries of speed chess with an ever-busy online presence. The clock may tick, but HATilay ticks faster.
