About MrBilgin
Meet MrBilgin, a chess enthusiast who prefers the intricate dance of Rapid time control but isn't shy to take on blitz and bullet challenges too. Though he might not yet be storming top grandmaster levels, his play has plenty of drama and flair, with a peak rapid rating flirting with 500 and a blitz high score of 645 achieved a few years back when the universe (and maybe his mouse) was perfectly aligned.
Style & Strengths
Known for his tactical awareness, MrBilgin can pull off comebacks about 67% of the time—because who doesn't love a good underdog story? He tends to prefer an average of 47 moves to claim victory, suggesting a mixture of patience and persistence rather than reckless attacks. Though his win rate with the white pieces (53%) slightly outshines his black side (40%), you can expect some endgame tussles, as nearly half his games reach the endgame phase.
Favorite Openings (and those tricky ones)
- Van t Kruijs Opening: This is MrBilgin’s secret weapon in Rapid games, boasting a respectable 50% win rate across dozens of battles.
- Van Geet Opening: A gem with an impressive 87.5% win rate — when it works, it REALLY works!
- King's Pawn Opening: Classic and dependable, rocking a 61% win rate in rapid matches.
- Some openings like French Defense or Scandinavian show a more adventurous side — sometimes less rewarded!
Recent Heroics & Blunders
MrBilgin’s recent games have been a rollercoaster of emotions:
- Last win? A brilliant checkmate victory using the King's Pawn Opening Leonardis Variation at 1:00 AM—clearly a night owl's stroke of genius.
- But not all days bring glory; a quirky loss involved the Polish Opening where the game was abandoned after a whirlwind of exchanges.
Records, Rivalries, & Quirks
Among opponents, MrBilgin has an almost perfect record against players like 1danram, matmat_03, and sofiam1200 — zero losses to these lauded challengers. However, a couple of rivals like yahhhhh123 and kirill910 remind him the battlefield is never without its dangers.
Fun fact: his best time of day to play is around 1 AM, which might explain those inspired late-night victories! However, with a moderate tilt factor of 8, sometimes the chess gods are less forgiving. Regardless, MrBilgin plays on — the true mark of a passionate player.
