Profile of Ilixs80

Meet Ilixs80, a chess adventurer on the 64-square battlefield, known as much for their quirky resilience as their tactical flair. Currently peaking with a Rapid rating of 621 in April 2025, they’ve proven time and again that no pawn is safe when they’re at the board.

Though their journey has had some rocky moments—such as bouncing between first and last place faster than a knight's jump in the early months of 2025—the climb back up proves Ilixs80’s tenacity. Their Rapid games show a classic love for the Bishop's Opening, where they score an impressive win rate near 66% on variations like the Berlin Defense and the Chigorin Variation. They balance caution and aggression with an average winning game lasting about 41 moves, while losses tend to drag on a bit longer, which might indicate stubborn fighting spirit or simply enjoying the slow death by chess.

When the clock speeds up to Blitz, their scorecard evens out—about as many wins as losses, reflecting an unpredictable style that keeps opponents guessing. Ilixs80’s favorite gambit? The Englund Gambit, both rapid and blitz—because, hey, who doesn't want a little chaos in their chess diet?

Ilixs80 is a master of comebacks, boasting a comeback rate of nearly 57%, proving they’re never one to give up, even after losing a piece. Just don’t mention tilt—they keep their cool with only an 8% tilt factor, so you won’t catch them raging after blundering that important queen.

The data suggest early mornings might be their secret weapon: the best time of day to face Ilixs80 is around 6 AM, when their win rate soars above 66%. So, if you see them online with an espresso in hand, consider that a warning sign.
