Profile Summary: Philli_TheBishop
Philli_TheBishop is a chess player whose journey through the ranks is as intriguing as his username suggests. Fond of bishops and the occasional "Top Secret" opening, Philli is a master of surprise and strategic innovation, keeping opponents guessing and often scratching their heads.
Rating & Style
In 2024 and 2025, Philli steadily improved across all formats, especially in Rapid, where he crossed the 900+ rating mark — impressive for a player who also battles it out in blitz and bullet games with notable grit. His blitz rating went from a humble 579 in 2024 to a sharper 652 in 2025, and bullet play shows a flashy peak at 653.
Philli favors longer strategic battles rather than swift snap decisions, with an average of about 45 moves per win. But when the going gets tough, this player’s tactical skills shine through, boasting a comeback rate of 53.26% and a miraculous 100% win rate after losing a piece — proving resilience is a game plan of its own.
Performance Highlights & Openings
Holding a near 50% win rate with his signature "Top Secret" opening, Philli mixes it up with variations like the Queen's Pawn Opening – Chigorin Variation, where a staggering 67% win rate shows his comfort navigating less-traveled paths. The Caro Kann Defense and its variations are also part of his arsenal, challenging opponents to rethink their usual plans.
Psychological Fortitude & Quirks
Even grandmasters tilt occasionally, but not Philli – with a tilt factor of just 10, Philli is in the “steady hand” camp. Early resignations are rare (3.42%), and he fights until the end (endgame frequency nearly 45%), sometimes stretching losses to 51 moves or more. He might lose, but only after a memorable fight.
Opponent Records & Community Highlights
Philli’s opponent list reads like a who's who of online chess, with some players falling to their bishop-twirling nemesis at 100%. Whether friend or foe, matches remain competitive and exciting, with close wins and losses keeping the score tight.
Fun Fact
While Philli is a master of moves on the board, his game time is even more interesting — statistically, afternoons and early evenings (2 PM to 4 PM) are his sweetest spot with win rates soaring past 50%, and oddly enough, 1 AM sees him performing with over 55% wins. Night owl or early bird? The chess clock never lies!
All told, Philli_TheBishop is a patient tactician, a clever strategist, and just maybe, the bishop your opponent will wish never landed on the board.
