Meet macleyli, a persistent and spirited chess player whose journey on the 64 squares is nothing short of an adventure. While the rating numbers might suggest a rollercoaster ride, they tell the tale of a player who's always in the thick of the battle—whether rapid or blitz.

Starting off with a blitz rating peak of 1162 back in 2018, macleyli showed early promise—even if victories were a bit elusive, with many games going the opponent’s way. In 2023 and 2024, the rapid sessions turned tougher, with ratings swinging from 1071 down to a challenging 535.

Blitz battles continue in the same vein—19 games, 2 wins, and plenty of surprises.

Despite a tough win-loss record (6 wins against 39 losses overall), macleyli’s resilience shines through with a notable 33% comeback rate – proving that giving up is never an option. In fact, macleyli's knack for winning after losing a key piece is a perfect 100%, a stat that would make even the toughest chess veterans nod in respect.

Off the board (or rather, on rare breaks between moves), macleyli’s a player who doesn’t shy from the psychological battle: yes, there’s a tilt factor at 14%, but with each setback comes a lesson and a fresh mindset ready to tackle the next opponent.

Their longest winning streak may only be 2 games, but in those moments, macleyli is unstoppable. Whether it's a Sunday morning brain workout or an evening blitz session at 7 PM, macleyli keeps aiming to improve, learn, and most importantly—enjoy the beautiful game.
