Xiao Liu (Username: leleliuhuidi)
Meet Xiao Liu, a chess virtuoso whose rating has skyrocketed from humble beginnings to an astonishing peak Blitz rating of 2624 as of June 2025. Known in the community by the enigmatic username leleliuhuidi, Xiao has been navigating the 64 squares with a blend of tactical finesse and psychological resilience that would make even Magnus Carlsen squint in admiration.
Rise Through the Ranks
Starting in 2017 with a Blitz rating barely cracking 1500, Xiao demonstrated a rapid improvement, clocking over 2600 by mid-2025. This steady ascent represents countless hours of study, battle-tested openings, and a stubborn refusal to accept defeat. Although a couple of losses have peppered the journey (we all have our off days, right?), win streaks as long as 14 games showcase Xiao’s ability to dominate the board. Rapid and Bullet ratings follow suit with peaks at 2503 and 2527, proving that speed chess is Xiao’s playground.
Playing Style & Personality
Xiao prefers to play the long game – on average around 67 moves per win – savoring each chess move like a fine meal. The endgame is a favorite dance floor, featuring in over 74% of games. With a come-back rate of over 83%, Xiao is the king of second chances, refusing to let a lost piece shatter their resolve. And speaking of resilience, Xiao keeps tilt at bay with a tilt factor rated low at 7 – no dramatic tantrums here, just cold, calculated vengeance.
Fun fact: Xiao’s best time to play is 11 PM - the witching hour when pawns turn into queens and blunders are mercilessly punished. Opponents beware!
Favorite Openings

- Rapid: Top Secret again dominates with a 70% win rate. Other favorites include the Neo Grunfeld Defense and English Opening variations, each showing exquisite mastery.
