Profile: Ilyass Hommini (ilyass202)
Meet Ilyass Hommini, known in the chessverse as ilyass202 — a player who dances across the 64 squares with a blend of cunning strategy and occasional heart-stopping blunders. His chess journey in 2025 tells the tale of a rapid rating that skyrocketed from 227 in January to an impressive peak of 771 by June, proving he’s definitely not someone who stays in the shadows long!
Playing Style & Strengths
Ilyass favors sharp and dynamic openings like the Queen's Pawn Chigorin Variation and the Englund Gambit, scoring wins in over 60% of his rapid games using these lines. His favorite gambit? The Englund Gambit – where risk meets reward, and apparently, Ilyass often takes the poker face approach with a 68% win rate here. The Italian Game is another jewel in his repertoire boasting an impressive 73% success rate.
When playing blitz, Ilyass’s weapon of choice shifts slightly but he still dominates with lineups like the Scandinavian Defense Closed with an 80% win rate. He’s not just about fast moves; his rapid games show a solid balance with a white win rate of 51.82% and even stronger as Black with 53.65%.
The Story Behind The Stats
With over 250 rapid wins to his name (253 to be exact!), Ilyass has demonstrated resilience, especially when the chips are down. His knack for comebacks is notable with a 64.71% comeback rate, which means when he’s behind, he’s not just sulking, he’s plotting a glorious turnaround. That said, his Tilt Factor sits at 14—like every mortal, he occasionally bites the dust after a frustrating blunder.
His games aren't short and spicy either — on average, his wins last about 47 moves, and losses stretch a bit longer, proving he's in for the long haul whether victory or defeat.
Memorable Moments
Ilyass relishes the night owl lifestyle; his best time of day to play is exactly midnight, where an 80% win rate at the 0th hour confirms that the witching hour brings out his chess witchcraft. Just days ago, he secured a cool victory against vegfood, masterfully wielding the Sicilian Defense in a game won by abandonment — probably they quit after realizing they were up against a future grandmaster in training!
A Bit of Humor
Ask Ilyass about his losses, and he’ll probably tell you they’re just “practice for the eventual world domination.” With a longest winning streak of 10 games, and a longest losing streak of 14 (hey, nobody’s perfect), he dives into every game with the enthusiasm of someone who believes every “check” is a step closer to glory — and every “checkmate” is just the Board saying, “Not this time, buddy.”
Keep an eye on ilyass202 — he’s not just playing for points, he’s here to turn the chessboard into his personal playground, one calculated move at a time.
