Player Profile: ilyesftm

Meet ilyesftm, a rapidly evolving chess enthusiast carving a unique path through the 64 squares. Known for dabbling across all time controls—from the frantic bullets to the slow-brewed dailies—ilyesftm’s journey is a rollercoaster of ambitious gambits, brave comebacks, and learning curves sharper than a queen’s diagonal.

Chess Journey & Ratings

Starting 2024 with a Rapid rating rollercoaster between 158 and a personal best of 634, ilyesftm showed true resilience, pushing upwards towards nearly 470 by mid-2025. While bullet and blitz ratings might evoke a chuckle among speed chess aficionados, don’t let the numbers fool you—ilyesftm takes the game seriously, especially after 8 AM, their undisputed prime time.

Playing Style & Personality

Expect the unexpected! With a penchant for the Englund Gambit and the rarely trodden Van t Kruijs Opening, ilyesftm delights in catching opponents off-guard and embracing risky, exciting positions. Their early resignation rate hovers around 11%, which means sometimes the game is just too spicy to continue losing—who can blame them?

Longer games tend to average around 53 moves—enough time to scheme, plot, and possibly overthink. Yet, their comeback rate of nearly 62% hints at a fighter who refuses to give up, even when down a piece (though winning after losing a piece remains a work in progress at 37%). Tilt factor? A modest 12; enough to get them frustrated but not enough to toss the board… yet.

• Rapid Favorites: Queens Pawn Opening (Win Rate: 45%), Englund Gambit (a surprisingly sharp 58% win rate!), and Van t Kruijs Opening (55% win rate)
• Blitz & Bullet: Experimental and edgy choices—Queens Pawn Opening variants and occasional Grob gambits keep things spicy.
