Profile Summary of iannicos

Meet iannicos, a devoted chess warrior whose battlefield spans the rapid-fire realm of Blitz chess. With a preferred time control that would leave mere mortals gasping for breath, iannicos has shown relentless dedication since 2018, fighting over 6,800 Blitz battles with a near-even split of valiant victories and hard-fought losses, garnished with a modest sprinkling of draws. If patience is a virtue, well, this player is a speed demon — averaging just over 63 moves per win or loss, proving that every piece's life is precious and fiercely contested.

Climbing the rating ladder has been quite the rollercoaster for iannicos. Peaking at a respectable 1013 in Blitz back in early 2021, this player has also flirted with impressive highs in other formats, including a blazingly fast Bullet peak rating of 1270 and a tactical Rapid rating crest at 1160. A strategic veteran with a slight edge in the Philidor Defense and a penchant for the King's Pawn Opening Leonardis Variation, iannicos knows when to castle early, hold the center, and unleash calculated aggression.

Not one to give up easily, iannicos boasts a staggering 81.7% comeback rate, making the phrase "comeback kid" entirely too fitting. Although the tilt factor is a modest 14 (yes, even chess legends can have a bad day), when the chips are down, this player responds with grit and a notable 44% win rate after losing a piece — proof that the game is never over until the final king falls.

On the opening stage, iannicos favorites include:

  • Kings Pawn Leonardis Variation with almost a 50% win rate over a thousand games — consistency is king!
  • Philidor Defense, played aggressively with nearly a 50% success rate.
  • Scandinavian Defense, a solid go-to weapon with more wins than losses.
  • A mysterious battle style called Undefined — whatever that means, it’s working with a fresh spirit!

Whether it's blitzing opponents or diving deep into the rapid pool, iannicos plays each game with strategic passion tempered by lightning reflexes. His games usually culminate around the 65-move mark, revealing a love for marathon battles where endgames dance and heroes emerge. iannicos’s even win rate when playing white (48.83%) versus slightly fewer wins with black (46.37%) shows some good old-fashioned chess balance.

Need proof of this battling mage’s prowess? Here’s a glimpse of a thrilling recent conquest:

In short: iannicos is the chess player you want at your table — never predictable, sometimes stubborn, occasionally wild, but always entertaining and fiercely competitive. A true Blitz gladiator with a world of moves in their arsenal and an eye on the clock. Watch out for the Current Winning Streak of 2 and the Longest Winning Streak of 15 — this player isn’t slowing down anytime soon!

Keep calm and watch the board — iannicos is ready to make the next move.
