Chess Player Profile: Ines Brkić (ijukilfi)

Meet Ines Brkić, known in the online chess realms as ijukilfi. With a rating rollercoaster that could rival a grand spectacle, Ines’s journey through the ranks is as entertaining as a queen sacrifice in the opening!

Rating Highlights and Play Style

Ines peaked with a rapid rating of 574 back in April 2023, facing the usual ups and downs of battlefield tactics. More recently, their rapid rating sits comfortably around the 450 mark, showing resilience and gradual improvement. Blitz is a bit of a wild card — a top blitz rating of 360 screams "speed chess enthusiast," though losses sneak in here and there (hey, nobody's perfect!).

On the board, Ines loves early resignations (about 30% of games end that way), so if you feel a sinking feeling early on, don't worry—it's probably just the opponent politely admitting defeat. An endgame fan with a 41% frequency, Ines doesn't shy away from the strategic battlefield of pawns and minor pieces.

Opening Repertoire – The Home Turf

• King’s Pawn Opening is Ines’s personal playground, boasting a fantastic 80% win rate across 10 games. That’s some serious dominance – open those e4 squares with confidence!
• The slightly trickier Bishop’s Opening holds steady at a respectable 50% win rate, showing a willingness to mix things up.
• Other favorites include the Petrov’s Defense, Italian Game, and Queen’s Pawn Opening, all holding strong win rates around 66%, proving Ines knows how to dance in familiar territory.

Psychological Traits & Fun Facts

Ines has an impressive comeback rate of 57% — a true fighter who often bounces back even after losing a piece. However, with a tilt factor of 7, the fiery side shows occasionally: a few rough losses might cause some scribbling of notes and quiet grumbling before the next game.

Ines is a master of timing too — playing best around 2 PM, and enjoying wildly successful Saturday and Wednesday sessions (win rates above 50% and even 100% on Wednesdays), so if you want to avoid the storm, maybe don't challenge them then!

Recent Battles

It was a beautifully tactical game filled with queens and rooks in deadly harmony leading to a concession at move 27 — a true example of patience and strategy paying off!

But not every day is a victory lap: Ines also experienced a tough loss recently, bowing out to GyffelC after a courageous fight in the King’s Pawn Opening King’s Knight Variation. This match showed that even the best warriors sometimes tip over – but that’s all part of the game, right?

On the flip side, some rivals like gyffelc have been trickier, holding a 0% win rate for Ines so far — time to strategize some new opening lines there!
