Ilya Odesskij - International Master Extraordinaire

Meet Ilya Odesskij, a chess virtuoso who holds the prestigious title of International Master bestowed by FIDE. Whether slicing through defenses or unleashing tactical fireworks, Ilya embodies the fearless spirit of the modern chess gladiator.

A Dynamic Career in Numbers

From a modest Bullet rating of 1200 in 2019 to an impressive peak of 2767 in 2021, Ilya’s ascendancy in the blitz and bullet domains has been nothing short of spectacular. Their Blitz rating soared from 2640 in 2018 to a staggering 2895 by 2024. Rapid play hasn’t been left behind either, with highs nearing 2695.

Playing Style & Psychological Profile

With an 85.31% comeback rate and a perfect 100% win rate even after losing a piece, Ilya's resilience is the stuff of legend. Their games average about 74 moves per win, proving that patience and strategic persistence are in their DNA. Warning: they aren't the type to toss in the towel easily, boasting a minuscule 1.24% early resignation rate.

The Human Side and Humor

They say patience is a virtue, and Ilya's 23-game winning streak proves they’ve got it in spades. But don’t let that fool you—this master thrives under pressure, transforming blunders into brilliant comebacks. With a tilt factor of 7, Ilya can handle the heat almost as well as their pre-move game. Opponents beware: underestimating this shosti-73 could lead to a very short afternoon!

Openings & Opponents

Their secret sauce? An enigmatic opening repertoire cryptically labeled "Top Secret," yielding a bullet win rate north of 61%, and solid performances in blitz and rapid formats. Famous rivalries include matches against coachjkane and szabadaba, alongside a slew of other foes that often meet Ilya's high win percentage.

In short, Ilya Odesskij is not just a chess player but a strategic force, a comeback artist, and a stubborn opponent who proves that sometimes the best defense is an undefeated winning streak.
