Rating & Performance Highlights

Illidan_D soared to a peak rapid rating of 701 in April 2023, showing flashes of brilliance, especially in the Rapid format. Though the numbers have danced around since, this warrior keeps grinding, playing over 100 rapid games with a respectable 130 wins to 159 losses and sneaking in some draws. Blitz and bullet may not be the playgrounds where Illidan_D shines brightest yet (top blitz: 342, bullet: 346), but persistence is the name of the game.

Opening Arsenal

Not afraid to experiment, Illidan_D embraces a range of openings with some favorites including the Accelerated London System (Queens Pawn Opening) holding a solid 51.7% win rate over nearly 30 games, and a particularly cheeky fondness for the Englund Gambit boasting a fearless 61.5% win rate. Classic defenses like the Caro-Kann also show finesse, with over 50% success. Less thumbs-up-worthy are attempts at the King’s Pawn Opening, where the wins aren’t piling up quite yet – but hey, every hero has their kryptonite!

Style & Strategy

Illidan_D’s games tell a story of endurance and tactical grit. With an impressive longest winning streak of 10 games and a tough longest losing streak of 19 (ouch!), this player’s resilience is like an epic saga. Early resignations happen about 14% of the time—a pragmatic approach to save energy for the next battle. Notably, Illidan_D is a master of the comeback, with a striking 69.2% comeback rate, proving that giving up is never the first option.

Psychological Quirks & Timing

For Illidan_D, mornings are golden (especially around 6 AM) where their win rate spikes to a near-heroic 90%! Tuesdays seem lucky with over 60% wins, while Saturdays ask for a little more patience. However, a tilt factor of 19 reminds us that even the mightiest warriors can have off moments.

Memorable Battles

Recent battles have been thrilling. Illidan_D’s latest victorious game ended in a sharp checkmate using the Giuoco Piano – Giuoco Pianissimo Variation, showcasing surgical precision and tactical bravery. Losses, while painful, provide fodder for future growth, with some tough matches against opponents like kazixs and zLeossd. But Illidan_D keeps the community guessing with a near-perfect win rate against many lesser-known challengers.

In Summary

Illidan_D is the quintessential underdog hero: willing to dive headfirst into risky openings, hungry for wins and growth, and always ready to bounce back from adversity. They may not be a grandmaster (yet), but every game adds a chapter to their story — in the immortal words of Illidan Stormrage: “You are not prepared!” And clearly, neither is the opponent.

Keep your eyes peeled on Illidan_D – the battles are only getting more epic.
