MonkeyWiz: The Curious Primate of the Blitz Jungle

In the dense canopy of the 2025 blitz chess scene, one player swings from branch to branch with a style that's as unpredictable as a troop of monkeys at play. Meet MonkeyWiz, a tactical tactician with a peculiar knack for turning seemingly perilous positions into unexpected wins.

Playing Profile

With a blitz rating that started strong at 610 but has recently swung down to 213, MonkeyWiz embodies the natural ebb and flow of a wild player's journey. His average rating around 312 hints at many a vine-grappling battle fought in the treetops of this fast-paced format.

Despite a win rate just under 28% using his beloved "Top Secret" opening (shh, it’s a secret!), he’s known for a comeback rate of 37.5% — proving that this primate refuses to be caged by early setbacks. Even after losing a piece, MonkeyWiz’s win rate skyrockets to a perfect 100%, like a cheeky chimp who won't let go without a fight.

Style & Strategy

Early resignation is rare in MonkeyWiz’s jungle—only about 5%. Instead, he prefers to engage deep in the game, with nearly half (48%) of his matches stretching into the endgame. His average game length is a hefty 47 to 50 moves whether winning or losing, showcasing a patient predator lurking in the foliage.

On days of the week, Thursday appears to be his prime vine-swinging time, boasting a win rate of nearly 28%. Time of day? Early mornings (around 5 am) seem especially fruitful, with a 37.5% strike rate — perhaps influenced by a fresh banana or two.

Opponent Safari

MonkeyWiz’s recent opponents include a motley crew — from ariesrise to gantt_martin — yet only a few have faced his full wrath, like balurbc and mikailtall007, who have been outmaneuvered in 100% of encounters. However, many others have spotted the signs early, leaving MonkeyWiz with a modest overall win record.

Psychology & Temperament

With a tilt factor of 6, MonkeyWiz occasionally shows signs of frustration swinging through the branches, but generally maintains composure amidst the chaos. His rated vs casual win difference of nearly 28% suggests this primate gets serious when the jungle stakes are highest.

Final Thoughts

MonkeyWiz may not yet be the alpha predator of the blitz forest, but his resilience, tactical smarts, and occasional cheeky win make him a player to watch — or at least to chuckle about when the banana peels hit the board. In the wild world of chess, he’s a delightful mix of cunning and chaos, proving that sometimes the best moves come straight from monkey business.
