Alexandre Vuilleumier: The International Master Extraordinaire

Meet Alexandre Vuilleumier, a chess virtuoso who proudly wears the title of International Master bestowed by FIDE — proof that this is no ordinary pawn-pusher but a grand strategist of the 64 squares. When Alexandre sits down at the board, it's less a game and more a riveting story of tactical brilliance and psychological warfare.

Blitz & Bullet: Speed Demon on the Board

If chess were a fast-paced action movie, Alexandre would be the star stunt driver. In August 2022, he reached a staggering Blitz peak rating of 2874 and a Bullet peak of 2374. With a blistering blitz win rate over 91% across 46 games and an even more impressive bullet win rate topping 93% on 15 games, he's clearly more comfortable racing the clock than sipping tea.

Winning Streaks & Opening Secrets

Alexandre once strutted through an epic 22-game winning streak — surely a record for sassy checkmates and dazzle-inducing sacrifices. His secret weapon? The enigmatic "Top Secret" opening, where he boasts over 90% win rates in both blitz and bullet formats. Opponents beware: entering the battlefield against Alexandre is like walking into a lion's den with a steak tied to your back.

Match Highlights: Tactical Awareness to Die For

Whether trailing or leading, Alexandre's comeback rate clocks in at an astonishing 80%, and his ability to win after losing a piece nears perfection at 93.75%. He's the kind of player who turns a lost cause into a victory party — your queen might go missing, but your king is far from safe!

Style & Psychology

Alexandre prefers grinding out complex endgames, appearing in over half of his wins with an average of 56 moves — chess meditation at its finest. Tilt factor? Practically negligible at 2, meaning frustration is a rare visitor in his mind palace.

His favorite time to strike: around 1 PM, when his queen probably enjoys her coffee as much as he does. White pieces deliver an impressive 94% win rate, and black is no slouch either at nearly 90%.

Recent Adventures: Battles Won and Lost

In his most recent victory, Alexandre danced through the complexities of the Modern Defense, forcing his opponent to resign after a masterful 32-move sequence. However, even legends face setbacks — his latest loss came after a hard-fought Queen's Gambit Declined, where the tides finally turned against him. But in true champion style, every loss is just a prelude to a glorious comeback.

Fun Fact

Out of all his frequent opponents, Alexandre's win rate is a clean 100% against many, except for a couple of cheeky adversaries like "byniolus" and "byrontelli" who have managed to sneak a win or two. The saga continues!

All in all, Alexandre Vuilleumier is a powerhouse of intellect, speed, and nerves of steel — a player who proves that chess is not just a game but a thrilling, strategic adventure. Next time you see him online as pop_inactive, prepare for fireworks!
