Wilz Pagtakhan (aka Mr-Wize)
Meet Wilz Pagtakhan, a daring chess enthusiast who’s been navigating the checkered battlefield with both grit and flair. Though not yet cracking the grandmaster ceiling, Wilz has peaked at a Rapid rating of 712 in July 2024 and blitzed up to 613 in May 2025. A respectable mid-level warrior, Wilz’s chess journey is a rollercoaster of wins, losses, and those oh-so-crucial draws.
Rapid games are Wilz’s primary arena, with over 460 battles fought and an almost perfectly balanced record of 141 wins, 139 losses, and 23 draws. Blitz, however, is a bit of a rollercoaster—Wilz shows courage but is still taming the beast with 48 wins against 57 losses out of 109 games.
Signature Moves and Favorite Openings
Wilz loves the King’s Pawn Opening—you know, the classic "let’s put our pawns in the center and go for glory" approach—with nearly 80 rapid games under the belt and a nearly 48% win rate. The Pirc Defense is another secret weapon; there’s a juicy 66.67% success rate there, so Watch out, opponents!
But it’s not all smooth sailing: Wilz's adventures with the Queen’s Pawn Opening in rapid games leave much to be desired (a sobering 15.79% win rate), proving that even the wisest can be tripped up by a mysterious gambit or two.
Style, Strengths, and Quirks
Wilz isn’t just a button-masher; patience is in the game plan with an average of 55 moves per victory and a notable endgame frequency suggesting a willingness to slug it out till the bitter end. Tactical awareness shines bright—failure to back down is Wilz’s motto, boasting a comeback rate of 74.07%, meaning never count this player out, even when a piece goes missing. (“You lost your bishop? No problem—let’s hustle!”)
Interestingly, Wilz shows a flair for checkmating more often than resigning, with 85 wins by checkmate versus 84 by resignation, a nod to fighting spirit. Also, Friday evenings (around 7 PM) seem to be the golden hour for peak performance—chess clocks beware!
Recent Battles
Most recently, Wilz triumphed with some brilliant checkmates against ramil550, mayoman0813, and pragadesh_praga, proving that when focused, Wilz can close out games with style and precision. But the path hasn’t been without bumps—losses to dhairya_43 and others keep the motivation high and the thirst for improvement alive.
Fun Fact
Wilz’s opening variety and quirks hint at an experimental mindset—a fearless explorer venturing from classical structures into offbeat variations. Opponents beware: just when you think you know the next move, Wilz might switch tactics faster than you can say “Checkmate!”.
In short: Wilz Pagtakhan, aka Mr-Wize, is a tenacious player with a heart as bold as a knight’s gambit, a wolf in chess clothing, and a future grandmaster in training (or at least a grand entertainer!).
