Profile of infinit1y, Woman FIDE Master

Known throughout the chess cosmos as infinit1y, this Woman FIDE Master is a formidable force across the 64 squares. With a bullet peak rating soaring to an impressive 2405 in December 2020 and a blitz pinnacle of 2329 in late 2021, infinit1y proves that quick thinking and rapid-fire moves are definitely their forte. Though rapid games haven't seen the same fireworks, with a peak of 1561, it’s clear infinit1y’s heart beats strongest in faster time controls.

Since bursting onto the scene in 2018, infinit1y has amassed a bullet win record of 77 wins out of 127 games with an inspiring 60.63% win rate with a cheeky favorite opening known only as "Top Secret" — which we suspect involves world domination.

Playing Style & Personality

infinit1y embraces the grind with a penchant for long fights, averaging over 71 moves to victory — that’s stamina! Their endgame skills shine bright, occurring in over 75% of games, and with a comeback rate of nearly 87%, this player is the embodiment of resilience. Lost a piece? No worries, infinit1y still wins half the time, proving that giving up early is just not their style (early resignation rate only 1.88%).

Their preferred colors? Black seems to be lucky — with a higher win rate of nearly 56% versus 48% with White — perhaps the shade suits their sneaky tactics better. And when the clock ticks closer to midnight, watch out! Their best hour to play is around 23:00, boasting a jaw-dropping 90.91% win rate — maybe they thrive in the wee hours where most mortals dare not play.

Notable Achievements & Fun Facts

  • Longest winning streak: 11 games, proving infinit1y can run hot like a turbo engine.
  • Current streak: A tough patch with 2 losses, but even grandmasters have off days!
  • Favored openings in blitz: The enigmatic "Top Secret," and with flawless bouts in rare defenses like the Pirc and King's Indian Benoni variations.
  • Psychological resilience: Slight tilt factor of 8, meaning infinit1y likely curses only mildly after a blunder or two.

Recent Battles

Still fresh from their latest games, infinit1y recently outwitted zmand13 in a Sicilian Defense - Open Scheveningen Sozin Attack, resigning their opponent after meticulous pressure and a clever queen promotion. Yet, even champions falter sometimes, suffering closely fought losses — including a heartbreak at the hands of Nomoreregister where the game was abandoned. But as every player knows, defeat today is the seed of tomorrow’s victory.

Overall Impression

infinit1y is a tenacious, fast-paced warrior of the chessboard who dazzles with speed, grit, and deep endgame mastery. Whether zipping through bullet or blitz, they combine tactical prowess with psychological toughness. Armed with the Woman FIDE Master title and a blend of mystery and might, infinit1y is a player to watch: ready to trap, attack, and occasionally confound opponents — all while playing best when the rest of the world sleeps.

What you’re already doing well

  • Dynamic opening choices. Your wins show confident handling of the Caro-Kann (B10/B06) and Modern setups against 1.e4, plus flexible Sicilians as Black. The variety keeps opponents guessing.
  • Tactical alertness. In the victory against masterlance007 you converted a cxd4 → Nxe5 → …Qxc3 sequence cleanly, punishing loose central squares.
  • Converting material advantages. End-games such as the rook-and-pawn grind versus Diprelli show good technique once you’re clearly ahead.
  • Confidence in pawn breaks. Timely …c5 versus 1.d4 and pawn storms (…h5 / g5) generate practical chances and often tip the clock in your favour.

Main improvement themes

  1. Time management – the #1 scoring leak
    Five of the six recent losses were simply flagged (“won on time”). You often enter Zeitnot around moves 12-18, well before the critical phase.
    • Adopt a “30-second opening budget”: if still in book, move instantly and bank increment.
    • Use the lazy candidate method: list one sensible move, check blunders, play. Deep calculation is reserved for forcing positions only.
    • Practise 30-minute puzzle rush survival to simulate rapid pattern recognition under time pressure.
  2. Transition from opening to middlegame
    Losses to hoklopan and Hyper_Nova07 show hesitation when the opening ends; pieces hover on the back rank while opponents seize space.
    • Set a middlegame checklist: (1) Activate last undeveloped piece, (2) Identify pawn levers, (3) Ask “what does opponent want?”.
    • Study 5 model games in the Carlsbad and Reti structures to sharpen typical plans.
  3. Over-extended queens
    In the Sicilian Kan loss you played Qh3-g3-h4-g3, giving Black free tempi. Similar drifting appeared in the Scandinavian game.
    • Rule of thumb: if the queen moves twice before move 12, it must win concrete material or tempi.
    • Analyse 15-minute post-game with an engine and count “wasted queen moves” per game. Target ≤ 1.
  4. Dark-square strategy vs. fianchetto
    Against Reti-/English-style systems you responded with …g6 but later misplaced the dark-squared bishop (…Bc8-a6-c8). Study KID/Grünfeld plans to learn when to exchange on e4/c3 and when to keep the bishop.
