Meet khizroo, a chess enthusiast whose rating rollercoaster might just be the most thrilling ride on Chess.com in 2025. Starting from the underwhelming (yet humble) Blitz rating of 100 in early 2025, khizroo skyrocketed to a peak blitz rating of 263 by June 3rd — enough to make grandmasters blink and casual players weep.

Playing Style & Humor

Known for a stubborn refusal to quit, khizroo only resigns early about 8% of the time — proving that persistence (or stubbornness) is a key part of their strategy. With an average game lasting around 46 moves when winning (and nearly 57 when losing), this player clearly enjoys a long conversation with the chessboard, maybe chatting about weekend plans while plotting the next move.

Endgames are khizroo’s playground, with a hefty 60.5% endgame frequency. If chess had a “hangout spot,” that’s where you'd find them — negotiating wins or plotting comebacks with tactical flair. Although the comeback rate is a modest 45%, khizroo’s fighting spirit is undeniable.

Opening Repertoire with a Twist

khizroo favors the King's Pawn Opening, specifically the Kings Knight Variation — a move sequence that wins games more often than not (~55-62% win rate across Blitz and Rapid). But beware! Venturing into the Queens Pawn Opening might bring trouble since the win rate there is a cruel 0% in Blitz. Perhaps it’s a secret ploy: “Lose a few games to lull opponents into a false sense of security!”

Other secret weapons include perfect records with the Four Knights Game Italian Variation and the Queens Pawn Zukertort Chigorin Variation, boasting 100% win rates in Blitz when played, making khizroo’s opponents nervously second-guess pushing pawns.

Trendy Timings & Psychological Quirks

Always chasing the afternoon sun, khizroo’s prime time for crushing the competition is exactly 14:00. That’s when their win rate hits a dazzling 100%! Watching a clock strike two might be the secret sauce for this player. The evening hours (around 20:00 to 21:00) are also promising, with win rates above 60%, perfect for late-night blitz marathons.

However, Fridays are a complete mystery — with a 0% win rate, maybe it’s “TGIF” gone wrong for khizroo’s chess ambitions. It’s clear this player is powered by an intriguing mix of focus and selective tilt, boasting a tilt factor of 7, meaning when frustration hits, it hits hard but not too often.

Victories, Defeats, and Opponents

With a Blitz record hovering around 55 wins against 62 losses, there are plenty of thrilling battles — and an occasional defeat by checkmate or timeout to keep things spicy. khizroo refuses to shy from the battlefield, logging 39 Blitz games in June alone with a steady climb back up the rankings.

Notably, khizroo has dazzled against droniiix, joker90055, and sllj1972 recently, scoring quick wins and snatching tempo like a seasoned tactician. Some opponents, like operator718, still hold the upper hand, reminding khizroo that chess is a humbling sport...

Most Memorable Win

On June 3rd, 2025, in a blitz battle against droniiix, khizroo delivered a swift and stunning checkmate in 7 moves using the Three Knights Opening Steinitz Defense. This game is proof that khizroo is capable of dazzling finesse and swift victories — like a ninja, but with pawns and knights.

In short, khizroo is proof that chess mastery is a marathon, not a sprint — complete with laughs, losses, and legendary checkmates. Watch this space, because 2025 is looking bright for this resilient tactician.
