Ava (IcyAvaleigh) - Chess Enigma & Bullet Storm

Meet Ava, known in the chess world as IcyAvaleigh, a force to reckon with across all time controls, especially bullet chess where she has blazed through almost 40,000 games! With a peak bullet rating soaring to an impressive 2293, Ava dances through the board like a hurricane of calculated chaos — proving that speed and strategy are not mutually exclusive.

Since 2016, Ava has been relentlessly grinding, amassing over 19,700 wins in bullet alone, not to mention her thousands of blitz, daily, and rapid wins. With a penchant for the Caro-Kann Defense, which she wields with a winning rate around 53%, and a stubborn love for the Sicilian, Ava's opening repertoire keeps opponents guessing and often scratching their heads.

Her style? Well, Ava doesn't just play chess — she performs, averaging a whopping 89 moves per victory underlining her love for deep, drawn-out strategic battles rather than quick tactical skirmishes. Though some might call her stubborn, her 90% comeback rate after material loss shows grit and resilience, making "giving up" a word absent from her dictionary.

Ava is not just a crusher of pawns but a quirky character at the board. Known for a tilt factor of 17 (proof that even ice queens can get a little frosty), she mysteriously flourishes at 3 AM local time - a perfect excuse for night owls everywhere. Her games often end with creative resignations or spectacular time wins, showing she’s as unpredictable as she is skillful.

Recent Highlight

In her latest battle on October 15, 2022, Ava outmaneuvered an opponent with a Van 't Kruijs Opening, sealing victory by resignation after an exhausting 44-move duel. The game combined careful defense, tactical strikes, and a sprinkle of psychological warfare, typical of Ava's enchanting chess symphony.
