Meet Huxstler, a chess player who’s as mysterious as their username and as unpredictable as their game clock. While the kings and queens may tremble on the board, Huxstler faces each match with a fearless spirit and a dash of humor.

Rating Rollercoaster

From blitz to bullet, rapid to daily games, Huxstler has experienced every twist and turn. Their peak rapid rating soared to a respectable 1417 in mid-2023, showcasing flashes of brilliance. Bullet and blitz ratings have been a wild ride, with highs near the 500s but also some humbling lows — a true testament to the saying, “In chess, as in life, ups and downs are inevitable.”

Playing Style

Huxstler prefers a thoughtful, steady pace—winning games generally last about 44 moves. Though early resignations happen about 10% of the time (because who wants to stick around if things look grim?), this player loves an endgame challenge almost 40% of the time.

Interestingly, despite setbacks, Huxstler possesses a stellar 72% comeback rate when trailing, revealing a storehouse of resilience and tactical awareness that can turn tables like a seasoned magician pulls rabbits from hats.

When playing as White, Huxstler wins about 45% of the time, while Black sees a slightly lower success rate — but don’t let that fool you. This player’s opponents often feel the sting of well-timed checkmates, with checkmate recorded as the leading cause of victory.
