Profile Summary: Ilya_Cheb

Meet Ilya_Cheb, a valiant chess warrior waging battles on the digital 64-square battlefield with a rapid rating that once soared to 1103 and a blitz peak rating of 960. Though the path to mastery is dotted with both triumphs and tribulations, Ilya_Cheb’s passion for the game is unwavering—despite a rollercoaster of wins, losses, and those infamous draws.

Ilya_Cheb’s style? Let’s just say it’s a curious mix of determination and occasional strategic surprises. An early resignation here and a loss on time there reflect the fiery spirit of someone who battles fiercely but isn’t afraid to throw in the towel to save energy for the next bout. The average length of a game hovers in the 50-move range, suggesting a grind-it-out approach where every move counts and patience is key.

When it comes to openings, Ilya_Cheb favors the King’s Pawn Opening, especially the Leonardis Variation and the King’s Knight Variation, showing a penchant for classical lines but also a willingness to experiment. There's a notably strong win rate (71%) in the King's Knight Variation, proving that when the pieces align, mastery shines through. On the flip side, some openings like the Van't Kruijs Opening have been less forgiving, resulting in a goose egg in the win column—everyone has their kryptonite!

Tactically, Ilya_Cheb boasts a commendable comeback rate of over 61%, a trait any competitor would envy: once down, never out! And while the psychological tilt factor is a modest 11, it seems that moments of frustration do creep in, especially during those pesky losing streaks (the longest being 11 games). The bright side? Ilya_Cheb's best time of day to strike victory is precisely when the clock hits 17:00—perhaps the perfect moment to brew some coffee and checkmate foes!

While struggling against chinmay970 with no wins so far, Ilya_Cheb triumphs spectacularly against players like hichamine, 1m07ammed1, and mmm3342 – boasting a perfect 100% win rate.
