Max (mvxwvll) - The Relentless Chess Warrior

Since his humble beginnings in 2015 with a bullet rating barely scraping 800, Max has been on one heck of a rollercoaster ride through the chess universe. What started as a shaky start soon turned into a blazing ascent, peaking at a masterful 2382 bullet rating in 2024—a rating that can make grandmasters break a sweat.

Career Highlights & Stats

• Bullet Chess: With over 4,900 bullet games played, Max boasts a fierce record of 2,524 wins against 2,173 losses and 282 draws. His longest winning streak stands at a jaw-dropping 23 games—clearly, the guy knows how to ride a hot streak.
• Blitz Experience: Not just a bullet beast, Max has locked horns in more than 5,900 blitz games, winning 2,860 and drawing 329. Known for his sharp tactics and lightning-fast calculations, his blitz peak rating touched 2328.
• Rapid & Daily: Though blitz and bullet are Max's playgrounds, he also appreciates the thoughtfulness of rapid games, climbing just above 2,000, while dabbling in daily chess with a respectable 1600+ rating in recent years.

Opening Preferences & Style

Max isn’t your usual one-trick pony. His bullet repertoire includes favorites like the Modern Defense, English Opening with various aggressive and solid lines, and the Queen's Pawn Opening. Impressively, he holds a 65.7% win rate with the Queen's Pawn Opening English Defense in bullet—talk about special sauce!

Blitz sees him dabble in the Modern Defense and the King's Indian Defense Normal Variation, where his win rates hover comfortably above 55%, proving he's versatile and adaptive.

In rapid formats, Max enjoys the Alapin Sicilian Defense and the Scotch Game, showcasing a tactical flair with win rates consistently over 50% in these openings.

Playing Style & Personality

Max's chess reminds you of a dramatic thriller: a master of comebacks with a comeback rate of 84.74% and a near-superhuman 96.19% win rate after losing a piece. If you think losing a rook means squashing his spirit, you’re in for a surprise. But don’t push him too far—his tilt factor of 12 suggests he gets a little grumpy when things go south.

He’s the kind of player who averages around 70 moves per game, savoring both the chaos of midgame and the artistry of the endgame, which he frequents in three out of four games. Early resignation rate? A modest 5.44%, meaning Max fights to the bitter end, even when the math isn't in his favor.

Quirky Tidbits

Max's best hours? Surprisingly, his winning chances spike around 6 AM and 7 AM—either he’s an early bird or a night owl who refuses to sleep before winning. Plus, Saturday seems to be his lucky day, with a win rate just over 50%! He even manages a cheeky 71.43% win rate during the 7 AM hour—world, beware.

His opponents wishing to challenge Max might need superhuman patience; his psychological resilience means he often turns even bleak positions into victories. Among his most-encountered rivals are players like iscore and als2005, with respectable win rates against them, making him a formidable presence on the battlefield.

In a Nutshell

Max is the quintessential passionate chess gladiator: fast, resilient, and delightfully unpredictable. His journey from bullet novice to a master tearing through ranks is nothing short of inspiring. Whether blitzing or planning methodically in rapid, Max proves there’s always room on the board for a good fight—and a bit of fun chaos.
