StevyIX: The Unstoppable Chess Adventurer
Born from the digital shadows of online chess battles, StevyIX is a player whose journey has been anything but ordinary. With a peak Rapid rating soaring at a respectable 618 and a blistering bullet best of 425, StevyIX embodies the spirit of a warrior who thrives across all time controls. Not just content with quick flashes of brilliance in Blitz and Bullet, this player has even conquered the calmer realm of Daily chess, boasting an impressive peak rating of 913 — the kind of patience and cunning you’d expect from a grandmaster in disguise.
With a Rapid record of 289 wins against 241 losses and 53 draws, StevyIX proves that persistence is key: losses are but stepping stones on the path to victory. The king of comebacks (a notable 73% comeback success rate!), they’re not one to throw in the towel easily. Early resignations are rare — only about 6% — but when StevyIX does resign, it probably means they've just acknowledged the brilliance of their opponent... or had a sudden craving for pizza.
Opening Repertoire: A Balanced Arsenal
From the classic to the quirky, StevyIX is no one-trick pony. Their favorite weapon in Rapid battles? The Queen’s Pawn Opening Accelerated London System with a strong ~59% win rate. If surprise is the spice of chess life, their consistent use of the King’s Pawn Opening, King’s Knight Variation and the occasionally bold Englund Gambit in Bullet rounds keep opponents guessing and scrambling.
Style & Psychological Traits
- Play Style: Patient and endgame-savvy, averaging nearly 59 moves per win in Rapid games. They clearly enjoy the long haul.
- Psychology: A tilt factor of 7 shows they keep cool under pressure, although the best time to catch them at their prime is around 2 PM. Afternoon chess breaks? More like chess breakthroughs.
- Tactical Awareness: Not afraid of adversity, StevyIX wins about 42% of the games even after losing a piece, turning setbacks into counterstrikes with flair.
Recent Memorable Battles
StevyIX recently secured a swift victory against hyuk1019 in a Tactical Englund Gambit battle, forcing a resignation in under 8 moves – a dazzling display of aggressive wizardry!
But beware, as their recent loss against hanina1 by checkmate reminds us: even the bravest knights sometimes fall (or get checkmated) in the quest for glory.
Notable Opponents & Rivalries
With an impeccable 100% win rate against many foes like hyuk1019, deiseb, and rektagame, StevyIX’s opening dominance is as consistent as their Internet connection.
One must wonder: does StevyIX sympathize with those less fortunate players who fall victim to their swift attacks, or do they savor the sweet taste of victory a bit too much? The chess gods only know.

Hi StevyIX – Your Personal Chess Feedback
Big picture
You are experimenting, you fight for the initiative and you have already reached 618 (2025-02-20). The foundations are there – now let’s add some structure so your rating climbs in a straight line instead of a roller-coaster.
What you are doing well
- Consistent White repertoire. 1.d4 with early Bf4 (London-style) gives you a familiar pawn skeleton and led to several clean tactical wins (see PGN #1 below).
- Killer instinct. When the opponent’s king is unsafe you rarely hesitate – the back-to-back mates on c7 prove you can finish the game when a tactic appears.
- End-game nerves. The 62-move conversion versus gion54it showed patience and calculation under time pressure.
Highest-impact fixes for the next 2 – 3 weeks
- King safety as Black. Early …f6, …g6 or queen raids (…Qh4, …Qf6) invited Scholar-type attacks from players rated 500. Follow classical rules: develop two minor pieces, castle, only then push flank pawns or move the queen.
- Tactical vision. Nearly every loss features a one-move blunder (forks, mate in one). Solve 15 tactical puzzles daily, focusing on fork, discovered attack and back-rank motifs. Your blunder rate – and the red bars in your – will drop fast.
- Do not grab material at the cost of development. In the Nimzowitsch loss you captured pawns on e4/d4, fell behind in development and never recovered. Ask “What will my opponent play if I take this?” before grabbing.
- Time management. Many moves are played in under five seconds even in 10-minute games. Try to keep at least 50 % of your starting time until move 15. Thinking before the blunder is cheaper than calculating how to survive after it.
Opening roadmap
- With White, add an early c4 break to your London set-up when Black plays …d5 – it fights for the centre and prevents …e5 thrusts.
- Versus 1.e4 adopt a no-theory, safe system such as the Scandinavian (1…d5) or French (1…e6). Both give clear plans and remove the temptation to play weakening moves like …f6.
- Against 1.d4 mirror your own set-up: 1…d5 2…Bf5/…Bf4. You already know the themes from the White side.
Track your progress
Review these dashboards every weekend to stay motivated:
Study corner
- Re-annotate your win against deiseb: after every move write “What is the threat?” – this habit sharpens calculation.
- Play through move 20-35 of the loss to hanina1. Pinpoint the single decision that let the attack explode.
- Watch a short lesson on the Englund Gambit so you understand why 2.dxe5 is correct and how to punish Black’s follow-ups.
