Villads Tusvik: The Enigmatic Chess Adventurer

Meet Villads Tusvik, or as the online chess world might know him, villadsfravalby1. A player who doesn’t just play chess, but embarks on a tactical rollercoaster every time the clock starts ticking.

In 2025, Villads sharpened his blades in both Blitz and Rapid formats, boasting a respectable maximum Blitz rating of 304 and an even more impressive Rapid peak of 534. Though his Blitz win rate hovers at a modest 40%, and his Rapid battles saw him victorious 25% of the time, Villads shows a tenacity that any chess enthusiast can appreciate.

He has a knack for the mysterious "Top Secret" opening, fearlessly employing it in every recorded game (five Blitz, eight Rapid), earning some sweet wins along the way. His longest winning streak? A solid 3 games of sheer brilliance — or sheer luck. Currently, however, the streak is on pause, and Villads is probably busy plotting his next strategic surprise.

Villads’ chess style is a curious blend. With no early resignations and a willingness to take the battle to the endgame nearly a third of the time, he doesn’t give up without a fight. Interestingly, when Villads loses a piece, instead of folding, his win rate after such setbacks is 100% — talk about turning the tables! On the flip side, white pieces haven’t been his lucky charm so far, boasting only a 25% win rate, while black pieces seem to bring a little more magic at 40% victories.

Psychologically, Villads carries a tilt factor of 5, which just means he’s human after all — a hint that every player faces those frustrating moments when the chess gods are not on their side. Yet, he leverages a difference of over 30% in win rate when moving from casual matches to rated games, proving that the pressure only fuels his competitive spirit.

His opponent list has seen a colorful mix, from the nearly unbeatable "boonen1" to white-knight opponents like "mirlian" and "santospraem", whom he has defeated with 100% success. Weekends look pretty good for Villads, too — Saturday matches bring a 75% win rate, though Sunday heats provide less comfort.

With an average of 33 moves per win and a willingness to grind through 56 moves in defeat, Villads is that player who's in the trenches, fighting for every inch of the board, occasionally baffling opponents with his unpredictable resilience and occasional flurry of tactical wizardry.

So, next time you encounter Villads Tusvik over a digital 64-square battlefield, expect a player who’s equal parts strategist, brawler, and chess mystery – always ready for the game, always ready for a surprise.
