Alikhon Avazkhonov - The Candidate Master with a Roaring Lion's Heart

Known in the online chess world as Mr_Lion22, Alikhon Avazkhonov is a fierce force to reckon with on the 64 squares. Awarded the prestigious Candidate Master title by FIDE, Alikhon combines a tactical sharpness with a fighting spirit that can only be described as lion-like — brave, relentless, and occasionally a little bit wild.

Journey Through the Ranks

Starting with a Blitz rating around 1741 in late 2021, Alikhon's rating blossomed steadily, crossing the 2500 mark in Blitz by early 2024, reaching a peak rating of 2608. His Bullet performance is no less impressive, climbing up to a peak of 2582. With over 1200 Blitz games under his belt and a nearly even win/loss count, Alikhon’s experience is as vast as his willingness to test opponents’ nerves and patience.

Style of Play: The Early Roar and Endgame Prowess

Displaying a penchant for lengthy battles, Alikhon’s games average roughly 77 moves regardless of outcome — a testament to his stamina and perseverance. True to his mastery, he channels an exceptional 83.64% frequency of endgame play, often turning what looks like a routine match into a thrilling saga of strategic endurance.

Early resignation is a rarity in his games, clocking in at a mere 0.62%, which means he’s usually in it to win it — or lose it honorably.

Tactical Brilliance and Mental Resilience

With an astonishing 82.85% comeback rate, Alikhon has a knack for turning tables when down in material. His nerves may have a tilt factor of 7 (because hey, even lions can have off days), but his best moves often come when the clock strikes midnight — his golden hour to shine with a perfect 100% win rate at 0:00.

A Record of Battles

Our Candidate Master has faced off against various opponents, with some rivalries reaching up to 9 encounters against bereal24. His winning rate against well-known foes like nmchesstoimpress is a fierce 85.7% — clearly, some prey are easier to hunt than others. His favorite opening remains a "Top Secret" weapon, used in virtually every game, leaving spectators guessing and opponents sweating.

Memorable Moments

One recent classic was his victory over "Werenoob" in a Brutal English Opening where Alikhon's calm positional play forced resignation by move 23. But beware — even the fiercest lion sometimes rests. In an intense Caro-Kann clash, he was outmaneuvered by "yoyomaster107" and conceded a hard-fought game. Such is the life of a gladiator in the digital chess arena.

Final Thoughts

Alikhon Avazkhonov might be called a Candidate Master, but his gameplay roars with the ambition and tenacity of a grand champion in the making. Whether blitzing at 2600 or bulleting at 2500+, this chess lion prowls the digital savannah with strategy, skill, and an occasional playful swipe that keeps the chess community entertained and inspired. Legend has it, if you hear the roar at midnight, it's probably Alikhon on the board!
