Idney Favero

Rating Journey

Starting his rapid chess rating at a respectable 1174 in 2020, Idney’s journey has been a rollercoaster. Peaking early at 1441 in 2020 and then leveling off around the mid-900s to just under 1100 in recent years, it’s clear Idney plays for passion, persistence, and a bit of chaos.

Playing Style

Known for a fearless tactical awareness, Idney seldom throws in the towel early (early resignations under 1%), and thrives particularly in the endgame — echoing his love for those tense knight-versus-pawn dramas that make chess so legendary. With an impressive 80% comeback rate and a perfect 100% win rate after losing a piece, the man simply refuses to quit. It's like he’s running a one-player motivational seminar on the chessboard!

His average game length (around 67 moves for wins and 70 for losses) shows he enjoys a war of attrition rather than quick knockouts. Fun fact: he wins slightly more often with the white pieces (45%) than black (44%), which might just reflect his charming optimism when he has the first move.

Fun Facts & Stats

• Longest winning streak: 9 consecutive games. Clearly, when the stars align, watch out!
• Favorite opening remains top secret (literally), with a solid 44.7% win rate over nearly 2400 rapid games.
• Plays mostly rapid chess but hasn't ventured much into blitz— only one blitz game recorded, which was unfortunately a loss. Maybe blitz just isn't his cup of tea.
• Psychologically, is somewhat prone to tilt with a moderate factor of 12 — a true human after all! But his rated vs casual win difference of nearly 45% hints he turns serious when it really counts.

Opponents & Rivalries

Idney has sparred many times against opponents like dl140621 and ilovecashandchess, battling tirelessly in 8 and 7 games respectively. His win rate varies wildly against some foes — while he scores 100% against adergley and j_krystian, others like pinoch and alexjazpe have had his number a little more often.

Chess Clock & Mood

Idney’s best hours to play? Early mornings at 6 AM with a 60% win rate, or mysteriously at 17:00 where he hits a stellar 55.5%. Beware late night opponents though — his performance dips a bit after 10 PM, but he can still surprise with 42-46% win rates.

The Verdict

In the grand saga of chess, Idney Favero is a storyteller, a fighter, and maybe a little bit of a trickster. With a reputation for never giving up and a love for long, strategic battles, he adds flavor to every game — because winning is great, but the adventure is even better.
