Profile: thebilb - International Master Extraordinaire
The chessboard trembles when thebilb sits across the table. An International Master recognized by FIDE, thebilb’s journey isn’t just about titles—it’s about relentless blitz and bullet battles that sharpen their wits and test their nerves.
With a peak blitz rating soaring to an impressive 2705 in 2020, and a bullet max rating of 2547, thebilb combines speed and precision with an uncanny ability to bounce back. Their comeback rate of 90.5% and a perfect 100% win rate after losing a piece reveal a fighting spirit no opponent can easily break.
Playing Style: Known for endurance and depth, thebilb thrives in endgames, featuring in over 80% of their matches, often squeezing victories after long, grinding contests averaging around 79 moves per game. Early resignation? Nah, with just a 0.22% resignation rate, thebilb fights till the last pawn falls.
Not just a one-trick pony, this master’s white pieces have a radiant win rate of 56.06%, while the black pieces hold their own at 49.42%. Thebilb also showcases strange time-based magic: early mornings and late nights produce the highest win percentages, with a whopping 75% win rate at 11 PM and an astonishing 63% at 5 AM—maybe chess by moonlight is their secret weapon?
When it comes to streaks, thebilb has flirted with glory through a longest winning streak of 14 games — talk about turning on the heat! Although currently resting the streak at zero, every loss or draw is just fuel to rekindle that fire.
Thebilb’s opening repertoire prefers Top Secret strategies that have led to a strong win rate over 52% in blitz and 54.5% in bullet – effectiveness wrapped in mystery. And while some opponents find no mercy (looking at you, "canwedoit" and "levski-sofia" with 100% defeats), others like “farzadbfd” manage to snag a 44.44% chance to spoil thebilb’s day.
Psychologically, thebilb keeps the cool on a chess battlefield, sporting a tilt factor of just 9, despite the furious pace of blitz and bullet play. Their ability to flip the tides is legendary – if you happen to nab a piece from them, prepare to be stunned by their 100% win rate in such situations. Talk about turning misfortune into opportunity!
In summary, thebilb is not just a fierce competitor but a marathoner of the mind, blending tactical brilliance, psychological resilience, and a pinch of mystery to keep opponents guessing. A player you want on your side and dread facing across the board. Beware, thebilb is always a move ahead and sometimes, a whole streak ahead!

Activity overview:
What’s Working
- Fast initiative in open games. Your Max Lange/Scotch wins versus Farzad Bolourchifard show crisp development (Re1, Bg5) and constant threats.
- Tactical eyesight. Combinations such as 16.Nd5+ (first game) demonstrate accurate calculation under time pressure.
- Practical aggression. You are willing to sacrifice material (7.exf6, 25.Rxe5) for activity – an asset in 3-minute chess.
Growth Areas
- Clock management. Two losses to Conquering were on time despite playable positions.
- Make your first 10 opening moves instant in well-known lines.
- Premove forced recaptures (…bxa4, Bxf6, etc.).
- Adopt the 30-second rule: if you drop below 0 : 30, simplify or repeat.
- King safety / prophylaxis. In several Rossolimo games the sequence f4-Bg3-Qg5-Bd4 hit you hard. Pause before pawn thrusts (h3, a4, f4) and ask “What is my opponent’s next threat?”
- Rossolimo–Fianchetto repair.
- After 3.Bb5 g6 4.Bxc6 dxc6 5.d3, castle before playing f4.
- Use the positional plan c3–d4 or Nbd2–c4 if Black delays …e5.
- Know the antidote to …Ne6/Qg5: 14.c3! followed by d4, shutting the bishop.
- French Classical as Black. The risky 8…Ndxe5 cost you time and structure. Test the calmer main line 8…cxd4 9.cxd4 Qb6/Be7, which is easier to blitz out.
Illustrative Highlight
The following sequence from your Scotch victory is a model of converting initiative:
Weekly Training Plan (≈3 h)
- 30 min Opening lab. Build a Rossolimo file with 5.d3 c3/d4 ideas.
- 30 min Puzzle Rush. Target score 45+ to sharpen quick tactics.
- 60 min Thematic blitz. Start from move 6 of the Rossolimo and French Classical; play both colours.
- 30 min Endgame drill. Rook-and-pawn vs rook, bishop-and-knight mate.
- 30 min Self-review. Annotate one loss, marking the moment the clock slipped under 45 s and what could have been played instantly.
Next Milestone
With steadier time usage and a sound Rossolimo repertoire, breaking the 2750-blitz barrier is a realistic short-term goal. Good luck, and enjoy the climb!
