Profile Summary: ilya2524

Meet ilya2524, a rapidly rising star in the chess universe of 2025, whose rapid rating hovers around a modest—but spirited—441. Don't let the numbers fool you; this player approaches the 64 squares with a mix of tenacity, creativity, and just the right amount of calculated chaos.

A Style All Their Own

Known for a tactical awareness that can turn the tides dramatically, ilya2524 boasts an impressive 61.09% comeback rate and a perfect 100% win rate after losing a piece. In other words, if things start to look grim, don't count them out. They're the kind of player who plays like a cat with nine lives—always landing on their feet (or in their case, delivering checkmates).

The Opening Repertoire

When it comes to openings, ilya2524 shows a curious fondness for the Van t Kruijs Opening, deploying it with such enthusiasm it’s played over 200 times in rapid chess. This opening is kind of like their secret handshake with the board—familiar but unpredictable. They also dabble skillfully in the French Defense variations, the Saragossa, and an adventurous Van Geet Opening, showing a balance between old-school solidity and quirky unpredictability.

Battle Stats & Quirks

  • Rapid: 669 games with a near-perfect win/loss balance (309 wins, 308 losses), and 52 draws.
  • Blitz: The rollercoaster ride continues with 184 wins and 189 losses over nearly 400 games.
  • Bullet: Only dipped a toe here but scored a win in the single game played.
  • Daily Chess: Slow and steady: 2 wins and 2 losses showing some love for longer think times.

ilya2524 tends to resign early in about 6% of games, showing they can be pragmatic when the tides turn against them. Endgames are a favorite playground, appearing in over 60% of their games, and matches typically last 52 moves on average when they win.

Psychology & Playing Times

Despite facing the notorious drying heat of a 7/10 tilt factor (chess can be stressful), ilya2524 keeps a decent head, with best performances scattered unpredictably throughout the day. Their highest win rates come late at night and in the evening hours—perhaps the inspiration flows best when the world sleeps.

Memorable Battles

Their most recent victories have included clever checkmates and game abandonments with stylish moves like Qh5 and Bxc6, quick to punish opponents who underestimate their opening gambits. Losses are rare but sometimes sneak up during high-stake rapid games, reminding everyone that even the most tactical cats can occasionally slip on the chessboard rug.

The Verdict

ilya2524 is the player to watch for fans of fighting spirit and cunning surprises. Whether they’re squeezing wins from tight endgames or surprising foes with lesser-known openings, their chess journey is a fascinating blend of determination and strategic experimentation. The rapid-fire battles on the board tell a story of a chess adventurer who’s not afraid to risk it all—especially when it involves that quirky Van t Kruijs Opening.

In short: if chess were a dance floor, ilya2524 would be the one spinning wildly, sometimes stepping on toes but always owning the rhythm.
