Malishious: The Chess Maverick

Meet Malishious, a chess player whose journey on the 64 squares is as dramatic as a Hollywood thriller—but with more checkmates and fewer explosions. Since 2019, Malishious has been climbing the ranks through sheer determination, tactical cunning, and a pinch of Blitz speed that would make even Flash Gordon pause.

    • Blitz: 2435 (July 2024)
    • Bullet: 2445 (May 2025)
    • Rapid: 2274 (July 2024)

  • 🔹 Plays more than 8,900 Blitz games, with a tough-as-nails win record showing tenacity and resilience.

Playing Style & Tricks

Malishious has a flair for the dramatic—often engaging in endgames with an average of 72 moves per win, because why finish quickly when you can make your opponent sweat? Known for a 80.85% comeback rate, this player turns bleak positions into triumphs like a magician pulling a queen out of a disappearing hat.

Early resignation is rare (just 1.55%), which means Malishious fights ’til the last pawn falls. White pieces have been a bit luckier, winning approximately 54.85% of the time, but Black holds strong with a solid 51.57% win rate too—no color bias here!

Favorite Openings (and Nemeses)

King’s Indian Defense and Sicilian variants make up Malishious’ arsenal—deploying tricky lines like the Averbakh Variation and the Taimanov Variation with style. Sadly, not every opponent bows down—some like ElizbarUbilava have managed to snag some wins, reminding Malishious that even legends meet challenges.

Despite this, Malishious boasts a dazzling array of victories against many opponents, including a perfect 100% win rate against several players like rafael_grigoryan and gm_kasparov_fan. The psychological game? Malishious stays humble and never too tilted, maintaining a modest tilt factor of 17 despite the itch to flip the board after tough losses.

Noteworthy Battles

The most recent triumphs are classics of chess endurance—a masterful victory by winning on time in a cutting-edge King’s Indian Defense battle against eligolfer, and a graceful resignation win over veron99020 after a tactical Sicilian skirmish. And for those moments of humility, recent losses don’t define Malishious, but only fuel the fiery quest for improvement.

Fun Facts

  • 🌟 Peak performance hours often hit around 22:00—so if you want to catch Malishious flexing those keyboard-fu skills, that’s the prime time.
  • ⏳ Timeout wins dominate the termination stats, with nearly 3,000 wins by timeout proving Malishious’ clock management skills are on point (or maybe opponents just panic!).
  • 😎 Equal opponents provide the toughest fights with nearly a 47% win rate—a testament to Malishious’ grit in neck-and-neck battles.

In short, Malishious plays chess like it’s an epic saga: thrilling, nail-biting, sometimes chaotic, but always entertaining. Whether it’s Bullet rushes or the slow burn of Daily chess, one thing’s certain—this is a player who can surprise you at every turn, with cunning, craft, and just a hint of mischief.

Recent Game Analysis

You've demonstrated strong tactical awareness in your recent wins, particularly in exploiting opponent weaknesses and converting advantage into checkmate efficiently. Your handling of the Queen's Pawn and English Opening variations shows a solid understanding of key strategic plans. The use of pawn breaks and piece activity to launch successful attacks is commendable.

In your losses, the challenges mostly arose in endgame scenarios and defending against active piece play. It's important to focus on maintaining activity and not allowing positional concessions that lead to material loss or diminished king safety.

To improve your game further, keep refining your opening repertoire mitigating known weaknesses and study endgame fundamentals to increase resilience in tight situations.

Specific Strengths

  • Sharp tactical vision in middlegame and attacking phases.
  • Effective use of pawn structure to limit opponent's mobility.
  • Good conversion rate of advantageous positions into wins, shown by recent games.
  • Comfortable handling of varied openings such as the Queens Pawn Opening and the English Opening.

Areas for Improvement

  • Defensive technique especially in the endgame to avoid resignations from inferior positions.
  • Expand knowledge of less frequent responses from opponents to maintain flexibility in opening choices.
  • Work on precise calculation under time pressure to reduce errors in critical moments.
  • Enhance evaluation skills to better assess when to trade pieces or maintain tension.

Opening Performance Insights

Your success rate varies across different openings. For instance, the Australian Defense and Amar Gambit show impressive win rates over 59%, which indicates a strength in dynamic, less common lines. Conversely, openings like the London System: Poisoned Pawn Variation and Amazon Attack have nearly 50% win rates, suggesting opportunities for deeper preparation and refinement.

Consider focusing study on your favorite openings with lower win rates to boost overall performance, while maintaining strategies that yield consistent success.

Rating and Trend Feedback

Your current win/loss/draw record shows a solid performance with a strength-adjusted win rate slightly above 51%, reflecting your overall competitive edge.

Though your rating has seen minor fluctuations recently with a slight decrease over three and six months, your short-term trend indicates positive momentum. This implies that your recent training or gameplay adjustments are starting to pay off.

Maintaining focus on consistent practice, reviewing your games deeply, and managing time pressure will help preserve and build on this upward trend.

Practical Recommendations

  • Review critical moments in losses and draws to identify recurring tactical or strategic mistakes.
  • Study classic endgame positions to improve defensive play and practical technique under pressure.
  • Incorporate targeted opening preparation, especially for lines with win rates below 50% to find improvement opportunities.
  • Analyze your games quickly after playing during blitz sessions to reinforce learning and avoid repeating errors.
  • Keep balancing aggression and caution: your attacking style works well but should be supported by stable defense and sound strategic planning.
