About phljbtl
Enter the world of phljbtl, a chess player whose journey in the 64 squares could be described as a rollercoaster with more twists than a Scheveningen Variation! With a peak rapid rating of 626 and blitz maxing out at 298 in 2025, phljbtl is no stranger to the battlefield of online chess — bravely facing opponents of all stripes, and sometimes, mysteriously abandoning games (or having them abandoned).
Style & Strategy
Known for a mix of stubborn resilience and tactical awareness, phljbtl has a comeback rate of a solid 72.37% — never giving up even when the chips are down. However, with an early resignation rate of 21.21%, sometimes the drama ends early. They prefer lively and dynamic openings; the Queen's Pawn Opening Zukertort Variation boasts a perfect 100% win rate in rapid games, proving it’s their secret weapon. Also notable is a respectable 51% win rate using the Van 't Kruijs Opening, an opening most players probably forgot existed until phljbtl brought it back in style.

Psychological Profile & Quirks
phljbtl prefers the quiet intensity of early mornings, showing a best time to play of 5 AM — because who needs sleep when you have pawns to push? Though their tilt factor is a modest 9, even the best have off days. Opponents beware: phljbtl has managed to convincingly defeat usernames like iwantsum2 and arcticfox88 100% of the time, but some adversaries, like albatross_360, best keep their heads down!
