Sporting a peak rating of 1370 achieved in April 2025, intl81 has experienced the full rollercoaster of chess emotions — from triumphant highs to humbling lows, and a statistically impressive average rating hovering around 800.

Known for their eclectic opening repertoire, intl81 favors unconventional and offbeat openings such as the Owens Defense (a true battlefield for almost 100 games), the Nimzowitsch Larsen Attack (both modern and classical variations), and the cheeky Van ’t Kruijs Opening. With win rates generally near or above 50% in these openings, intl81 clearly enjoys keeping opponents on their toes — sometimes catching them off-guard, sometimes just morning them with bewildering variations.

Speaking of style, intl81’s games often last between 55 and 60 moves regardless of victory or defeat, showcasing stamina and a preference for deep strategic battles rather than quick trickery. They have an early resignation rate of just 1.25%, indicating a never-quit attitude that’s admirable. The knack for comebacks is definitely a strong suit here, as evidenced by a comeback success rate north of 70%, proving intl81 refuses to surrender easily, even when down material or morale.

Despite a sometimes rocky win-loss record (296 wins to 319 losses), intl81's longest winning streak of 8 games proves it’s possible to hit a hot streak, though the 12-game losing streak reminds us that even the best have their off days. Tilting is kept relatively low at 12%, showing a sturdy mental game, but hey, everyone’s human!

Friends and foes alike have learned that intl81 has an uncanny ability to execute checkmates — with 155 wins ended decisively by this classic finish. But beware: intl81’s losses often come by resignation, suggesting their opponents know when to throw in the towel against this relentless fighter.
