Lily Jakes

Profile Summary: Lily Jakes (aka LilyX-01)

Lily Jakes, known online as LilyX-01, is a formidable chess enthusiast whose journey on the 64 squares reads like an epic novel sprinkled with patience, passion, and the occasional dramatic turnaround. Starting with a Daily rating around 967 in early 2023, Lily has steadily climbed the ranks, peaking impressively at 1412 in March 2024, proving resilience worthy of a grandmaster’s spirit—well, at least in spirit if not yet in title.

This player’s hallmark is a steady 54%+ win rate with the mysterious Top Secret opening strategy, baffling opponents and fans alike. Notably, Lily exhibits a commendable comeback rate of 66%, showing stubborn refusal to surrender even when the odds look bleak. If chess were a soap opera, Lily would be the star who always bounces back from the brink of disaster!

Interestingly, Lily is at her tactical best around 2 PM (14:00 hrs), when their win rate skyrockets above 70%. A word to rivals: avoid scheduling matches at this hour unless you enjoy watching a chess clinic. The 14:00 magic hour is supported by an overall higher win percentage in the afternoons and evenings, especially between 6 PM and 8 PM, indicating that Lily’s brain gears up as the day unfolds.

Games tend to be thoughtfully long, with Lily averaging around 60 moves per win, embodying a strategic “slow burn” style rather than quick-fire tactics. And speaking of fire, Lily once held a longest winning streak of 11 games, kind of like a hot pawn on a roll. Conversely, she’s not immune to the cold shoulder of defeat, enduring an equally dramatic 11-game losing streak at one point—proof that even chess heroes have off days.
