Meet HorcruxBB, a force on the chessboard with the esteemed title of International Master bestowed by FIDE. Known for a blend of tactical brilliance and strategic depth, HorcruxBB's games are a rollercoaster of skill and surprises—like finding a secret passage in a castle when you thought you had the draw!

Playing Style & Strengths

With an average of around 75 moves per game, HorcruxBB treats each match like a marathon, not a sprint. Their endgame prowess shines brightly, showing up in nearly 79% of their games, and a comeback rate of over 86%! Opponents beware: losing a piece early might just be the start of a nightmare.

HorcruxBB’s psychological game is on point with a remarkably low early resignation rate (2.24%), showing a fighting spirit; tilted? Barely (Tilt Factor: 8). Best time to catch them online? Around 10 PM when they channel their inner wizard.

Signature Opening: Top Secret

The "Top Secret" opening (or maybe just highly mysterious) is HorcruxBB’s bread and butter across all time controls. With win rates hovering above 60%, it’s clear this opening keeps the chess gods smiling and opponents guessing.

Recent Battles

In the latest heroic clash against samayraina in March 2025, HorcruxBB secured a smooth victory by resignation in a Closed Sicilian Defense. The battle stretched over 40 intense moves, styled in classical maneuvering and tactical strikes, ending with the opponent throwing in the towel.

However, not every day is magic. HorcruxBB has felt the sting of checkmate and time pressure losses—proving even masters are human (or perhaps muggle) after all.

Fun Facts

  • Longest winning streak: 21 games - a hot streak worthy of a chess legend.
  • Favorite day to play: Saturday with a win rate almost hitting 69%.
  • Current rating dips hint at a comeback brewing for the ages!

Whether blitzing through with wizard-like speed or grinding out wins in long, strategic games, HorcruxBB captivates fans and foes alike. So next time you sit opposite this International Master, remember – this is no ordinary opponent, but a cunning conjurer of checkmates and challenges!
