Biave Vengorsch (aka Iyanico)

Meet Biave Vengorsch, a chess enthusiast whose journey on the 64 squares is nothing short of a rollercoaster ride. Known online as Iyanico, this player has battled through rapid and blitz games with a fiery spirit and a dash of unpredictability.

Rating Adventures

Biave’s peak rapid rating soared to a modest 579 in December 2021—a respectable milestone reached after many daring confrontations. In the blitz arena, things were a bit more concise, hitting a top of 203 in the same festive month. While these numbers might not make grandmasters tremble, they tell the tale of someone who’s not afraid to take on odds and keep learning.

Playing Style & Strategy

With an early resignation rate slightly over 10%, Biave knows when to pick their battles (or when their opponent’s knight gobbles a crucial pawn). The keen tactician shines with an impressive comeback rate of nearly 79%, turning adversity into opportunity, even if the win rate after losing a piece stays a humble 23%. Endgames are a favorite playground, appearing in over half the games—a sign of patience and love for strategic battles.

Opening Moves

Biave shows fondness for classic openings like the King’s Pawn Opening and its Leonardis variation, securing wins about 33-40% of the time there. Unfortunately, the Philidor Defense and the King’s Knight Variation have been less forgiving, featuring a 0% win rate—proving that even chess lovers have their nemeses.

Fighting the Odds

The chessboard is often a battlefield where Biave faces higher-rated foes with a tough struggle, winning only about 11% of those clashes but dominating lower-rated opponents nearly two-thirds of the time. A streak of 8 losses once tested their resilience, but they proudly bounced back with a maximum two-game winning streak.

Signature Moments

Some of Biave’s recent victories were marked by clever maneuvers and timely resignations by opponents, including a memorable win against “kamerdeep” where a cheeky queen move sealed the deal. However, defying gravity isn’t always easy—losses by resignation and checkmate are part of the narrative, reminding us all that even in defeat, there is beauty and learning.

The Personality Behind the Pieces

Outside the stats lies a player who occasionally feels the tilt (about 8 on the scale), preferably plays best around 4 PM, and enjoys the adrenaline of rapid time controls. Whether it’s battles on Sunday or Tuesday, Biave approaches the game with the mix of humor, perseverance, and passion that every chess player—and fan—appreciates.

In the grand game of life, Biave Vengorsch plays on—sometimes winning, often learning, and always enjoying the enigmatic dance of chess.
