Ilo Pululu

Profile: Ilo Pululu (aka Ilofun)

Meet Ilofun, a spirited chess adventurer in the dizzying realms of online blitz, rapid, and daily games. With a peak blitz rating of 246 and a rapid high soaring to 488 in early 2025, Ilofun dances nimbly between tactical gambits and resilient comebacks — a true queen of chaos on the 64 squares.

Playing Style & Strengths

Ilofun’s games often start with classic openings like the Italian Game and the King’s Pawn Opening: King's Knight Variation, where the win rates approach respectable 40% to 70% territory, proving a knack for solid fundamentals — when not busy trying novel gambits like the wild Englund Gambit, which might confuse opponents faster than a rook stuck on the back rank!

Famous for an early resignation rate of nearly 12%, Ilofun is not one to cling to hopeless battles — gracefully bowing out and saving energy for the next encounter. The average game tells a story too: when Ilofun wins, the celebration lasts about 46 moves; when losing, the saga drags on longer, about 51 moves, like a suspenseful chess novel with an unexpected twist.

Notable Stats & Highlights

• Blitz Record: 46 wins, 70 losses, 4 draws out of 120 games — a rollercoaster ride sprinkled with lightning-fast decisions.
• Daily Chess: A rare player here, with only 2 games recorded, tough luck with 2 losses but a peak daily rating of 382 — patience and contemplation clearly not this player's usual domain.
• Rapid Performance: Nearly even battle with 36 wins, 39 losses, and 10 draws, highlighting a balanced but spicy approach under moderate time pressure.
• Comeback King: Impressively, Ilofun converts about 45% of games from seemingly losing positions into survival stories—never underestimate the heart of a fighter!
• Best Time to Play: 11 AM sharp, when the chess brain is at its freshest — or maybe the coffee has kicked in.
• Winning Days: Sunday's favor Ilofun with nearly 47% win rate, so weekend warriors be warned.

Recent Battles

Among thrilling recent clashes, Ilofun pulled off a victorious resignation against FADI1234567890000000000 with swift deployment of the Italian Game, and confidently bested YouDiass by capitalizing on the quirky Englund Gambit—because why not keep opponents guessing?

Yet, defeats have their lessons too: a tough checkmate loss to CJ8237 in the Sicilian Defense French Variation reminds Ilofun that even champions must occasionally savor humble pie (preferably before a new opening choice).

Personality & Humor

Ilofun’s chess philosophy? “Win when you can, resign early if you must, and never waste too much time pondering when a quick queen sacrifice might just confuse your opponent into an unforced blunder.” With a tilt factor of 8 (out of 100, thankfully), the emotional rollercoaster is real but always under playful control.

If chess were a sitcom, Ilofun would be the charming underdog championing the blitz arena with a grin and a click — dancing between crafty gambits, daring blunders, and heroic comebacks with the flair of a grandmaster in training.
