Meet walidalwan: The Blitz Chess Gladiator

In the fast-paced battlefield of online chess, walidalwan has carved out a niche as a persistent and tactical player who thrives under pressure — or at least most of the time. Armed with a peak blitz rating of 1354 in September 2024 and a rapid rating cresting at 1205 by May 2025, this player is known for grinding out victories through sheer volume and strategic endurance.

Career Highlights & Style

Blessed (or cursed) with a tilt factor of 9 — yes, chess emotions run wild here — walidalwan's games are peppered with thrilling comebacks and heartbreaks in equal measure. Their remarkable comeback rate of 86.82% means never count them out after losing a piece; this is a player who fights like a knight trapped on the edge of the board, ready to pounce.

With a blitz game count soaring near 1,800, 972 wins, 986 losses, and 106 draws tell a story of passionate participation. They tend to draw out games with an average of almost 75 moves per victory, showing no fear to slug it out deep into the endgame — Indeed, they reach the endgame nearly 78% of the time! The downside? An early resignation rate just under 1% shows sometimes patience snaps like a badly made bishop.

Opening Arsenal

Among the openings wielded on the digital battlefield, the Van t Kruijs Opening is their trusted weapon with 456 blitz games (winning nearly half). Queens Pawn Opening Horwitz Defense also shines as a preferred rapid mode with an impressive 57% win rate. Walidalwan certainly enjoys the quieter strategic lines as well as the fiery fights — because nothing says "chess lover" like mixing French Defense variations with a splash of Italian Game.

Peak Performances & Memorable Battles

In a recent blitz match, walidalwan triumphantly executed a slow, methodical siege starting with the "Giuoco Piano - Four Knights Game," outlasting their opponent on time at move 57. On the flip side, they've encountered brutal checkmates and time defeats too — after all, every chess warrior falters.

Playing When the World Sleeps

Interestingly, walidalwan’s best time of day to strike is the witching hour around 2:00 AM, when most grandmasters are asleep and rated players dream of perfect endgames. Maybe it’s solitude or caffeine, but this late-night vigilante challenges the board with a nearly 67% win rate in the wee hours.

A Unique Psychological Profile

Fiercely competitive against those rated lower, winning nearly 76% of games below their rating, walidalwan finds uphill battles against higher-rated players quite the challenge — only winning about 20% in those encounters. This realism is refreshing; even the best have their kryptonite!

To sum it up: walidalwan is not just a player; they’re a relentless blitz battler who dances on the edge between victory and defeat, armed with a quirky psychological edge and a passion for long, strategic fights. Watch out channels and bullet rounds... but maybe give them a little wiggle room during early mornings!
