Player Profile: M3SLx
Meet M3SLx, an ever-persistent chess enthusiast with an intriguing blend of tactical grit and a healthy dash of optimism in the face of adversity. Known for both the brutality of bullet chess and the slow burn of rapid games, M3SLx’s journey through the 64 squares resembles a rollercoaster — thrilling highs, humbling lows, and the occasional loop-de-loop.
Rating Journey & Style
Starting out with a modest rapid rating around 700 back in 2021, M3SLx steadily ventured into blitz and bullet arenas by 2023, facing fierce competition. Their peak ratings tell a story of fire and ice: a sizzling rapid high at 1042, a bullet burst at 1016, and a blitz peak pushing 591, all indicative of a player constantly testing their limits.
Though not the most fearsome predator just yet (blitz win rate slightly under 50%), M3SLx’s strength shines in tactical comebacks — boasting an impressive 69.75% comeback rate. Turns out, losing a piece isn’t the end of the world when you have that kind of tenacity!
Opening Preferences & Quirks
On the board, M3SLx favors classic openings with a flair for the Philidor Defense (an excellent 87.5% win rate in blitz!) and the intriguingly cheeky Englund Gambit. It seems they like to surprise their opponents early on — sometimes paying off handsomely. Less successful, but no less brave, is their dalliance with the Bishop’s Opening, where wins are a bit harder to come by.

Notable Opponents & Rivalries
M3SLx’s battle map shows favorite (and frustrating) matchups: khaldon0 stands out with nearly 71% win rate, while players like elfy1501 have been handed the cold shoulder - a perfect 100% win record for M3SLx against them. However, the username jmt5057 is more like a nemesis—none of the last games ended in a win.
Memorable Games

Whether it’s bullet blitz or rapid, M3SLx reminds us that chess is as much about heart as it is about skill — and sometimes, the grandest victories come right after the most humbling defeats.
