Teilha: The Reluctant Blitz Master

In the vast world of online chess, where grandmasters blitz and bullet prodigies duel at lightning speed, one player stands out—not by meteoric rise but by sheer persistence and an uncanny ability to make every game interesting. Meet Teilha, a spirited chess warrior whose journey through the 64 squares is as unconventional as it is entertaining.

A Rollercoaster Rating Ride

Teilha’s blitz rating once topped out at a respectable 1457 in 2019, before embarking on what can only be described as a heroic descent into the depths of low-double digits (well, almost). The peaks and valleys of Teilha's rating chart read like an epic saga: from a fiery 1353 in 2018, steadily falling to 700 by 2021, then dipping below 600 in 2023, and recently settling in the mid-700s again in 2024.

But hey, it’s not about how you start, it’s about how you keep pressing that clock... and Teilha has certainly kept pressing!

Endurance and Experience

With nearly 25,000 wins and almost as many losses in blitz alone, Teilha's gaming history could fill a novel—or at least a very detailed chess database. Their longest winning streak? A staggering 23 consecutive victories, proving that when Teilha is on, the board is a battlefield to be feared.

However, the current win streak is resting comfortably at zero—because even the greatest need a breather from time to time.

Playing Style: The Tactical Endgame Strategist

• Endgame lover: Teilha loves a long, strategic battle, with endgames appearing in nearly 59% of their games.
• Patience personified: Wins are usually crafted over about 46 moves, but losses can drag past 62 moves. Possibly hinting at late blunders or just really stubbornly intense battles.
• White pieces bring luck: A solid 51.7% win rate when playing as White, slightly higher than Black’s 47.5%.
• Psychologically resilient: With a tilt factor of 15, Teilha might lose their temper but not their love for the game.

Tactical Moxie and Struggles

Teilha has a comeback rate of 59%, and an impressive 100% win rate after losing a piece—clearly a tricky chess ninja who can turn the tables at the last second. On the downside, solo losses are rare, and early resignations are almost non-existent, just 0.26% of games.

Opponent Record: Friends and Foes

Teilha’s dance with opponents is a mixed bag. Some have never tasted victory (like minaam99), while others are utterly dominated—perhaps thanks to that killer endgame skill. Popular rivals include ruben212140 (fought 26 times) and ahmede8 (22 encounters), with win percentages ranging wildly, showing Teilha's tenacity across matchups.

The Daily Chess Philosopher

Teilha tends to play their best around midday and midafternoon, with a small win percentage edge at 13:00 and a quiet determination even when the clock ticks through the late night making their rated vs casual difference pretty balanced at ~50%. Oh, and Saturdays and Fridays seem lucky, with better than average win rates.

Three Fun Facts About Teilha

2. Longest winning streak = winning enough games to host a chess party of 23 guests.
3. Has defeated at least one opponent named henryhoover22 (among many others), proving that even vacuum cleaners are no match.
