Profile of ili_ams – The Chess Enthusiast with a Knack for Drama
Meet ili_ams, a chess player whose journey through the 64 squares is as dramatic as a Shakespearean play,
featuring tactical fireworks, surprising checkmates, and a few admired blunders that make every game an adventure.
Rising and Trying Again
Peaking at a rapid rating of 985 in March 2020, and boasting a blitz high of 961 just a month earlier,
ili_ams has thrived mostly in rapid games. With an average rapid rating hovering around the high 800s to low 900s and
an enthusiastic (if somewhat volatile) blitz career, expectations are always sky-high... until the next whimsical
loss reminds us how unpredictable chess can be. Daily games saw a perfect 1000 rating at one point, albeit briefly,
proving that when ili_ams is focused, magic happens.
Playing Style: The Bold and The Reckless
With an early resignation rate upward of 22%, ili_ams knows how to walk away when the storm clouds gather — occasionally
abandoning the ship before sinking. When ili_ams does fight to the end, prepare for long battles, as wins take on
average over 60 moves. Black pieces don’t play second fiddle here either, with nearly a 37% win rate, bordering on
respectable! The comeback artist in ili_ams surfaces often, surprising opponents with a 60% rate of bouncing back
from disadvantageous positions.
Memorable Moments & Signature Moves
A fan of the Petrov’s Defense, Classical Damiano Variation, ili_ams has demonstrated
a taste for neat checkmates — the most recent being a swift 10-move mate against jamesajoeb. Rapid assaults
with queen sacrifices and knight tricks often spice up the games, earning a reputation as a fighter not afraid to
shake things up early.
