Meet igorka2018, a chess enthusiast who’s blitzed, bumbled, and battled their way through thousands of games since 2017 with a rollercoaster rating journey that would make even the toughest Grandmaster raise an eyebrow.

About the Player

A player who thrives in the fast and furious world of blitz chess, igorka2018 has played over 6,900 blitz games alone, snagging a peak blitz rating close to 2,300 in 2018. When it comes to opening mysteries, they prefer the “Top Secret” strategy — almost 7,000 blitz games, proving that sometimes the best moves are the ones nobody sees coming.

Despite some ups and downs, the quest for victory is relentless. With a longest winning streak of 17 games (yes, seventeen!), igorka2018 proves resilience is key — even a losing streak seems to be shy enough to avoid their records entirely.

Playing Style & Strengths

  • Endgame aficionado: 75% of games reach the endgame, showing igorka2018 likes to grind it out.
  • White on the attack: Winning almost 49% of games playing White, and still keeping strong with 44% wins with Black.
  • Resilient tactician: An amazing 86% comeback rate—losing a piece? No problem, they win the fight after!
  • Average game length: Around 68 moves per game, because who wants to rush a classic?
  • Early resignation rate only about 1%: Giving up early is clearly not in the playbook.

When the clock strikes 9 or 10 AM, igorka2018 seems extra sharp, cruising with nearly a 50% win rate. Late night? Not so much—watch out for the 18-23 hours window, where the win chances dip dramatically, proving that even chess warriors need their beauty sleep!

Recent Battles

Just a few months before 2020, in a thrilling game using the English Opening (Caro-Kann Defensive System), igorka2018 secured a fierce victory by resignation — showcasing sharp positional play and nerves of steel.

The losses, while rarer, sometimes come down to time pressure or clever opposition using gambits and aggressive openings. No shame there: after all, every defeat is just another move closer to mastery.
