Alexis Deltour: The Chess Enthusiast with a Secret Opening

Alexis Deltour, (or as the internet sometimes knows him, woodyIT2015) is a player who proves that chess is as much about persistence as it is about strategy. Starting from humble beginnings around 2015 with a blitz rating of just under 1000, Alexis steadily climbed the ranks, hitting a personal daily max rating of 1370 in 2017. Not a grandmaster (yet!), but certainly a formidable opponent to anyone underestimating the power of consistency.

Known for employing a mysterious "Top Secret" opening in daily, blitz, and rapid games, Alexis has an uncanny knack for winning just over half of his daily matches (about 52%) using it—possibly because opponents are too busy wondering what it actually is. If only Sherlock Holmes played chess, he'd want to know this secret too.

Alexis’s playing style can be summarized as resilient and strategic: with an impressive comeback rate of nearly 74%, he never gives up—even if pinned down a bit (which is rare because his one-sided loss rate is a mere 3%). And if he loses a piece? Don’t worry, his win rate after losing material is a perfect 100%. Yes, you read that right. It’s like he turns a loss into a dramatic plot twist worthy of Hollywood.

While his average winning games last about 61 moves, his losses tend to drag on a bit—around 71 moves—showing that Alexis really battles until the very end. He’s also more successful playing white, boasting a win rate near 52%, compared to a respectable 46% with black.

Psychologically, Alexis has a tilt factor of 7 (which in human terms means he does get a little frustrated—like when someone steals your sandwich), but his rated versus casual game win difference is nearly 49%, indicating he truly brings his A-game when it counts.

On the timing front, Alexis seems to prefer afternoons and early evenings for his best wins, peaking around 12 PM to early evening with win rates hovering above 50%. But beware if you meet him at 2 AM or midnight—his win rates are suspiciously 100%, suggesting either an insomnia-fueled genius or some late-night chess wizardry.

Beyond numbers, Alexis is a player who enjoys challenging familiar foes—his record against frequent opponents such as regis2013 is … impressive, with over 91% win rate. Versus others, well, he might still be working on it, but that’s just part of the charm in his journey.

In sum, Alexis Deltour is a persistent and tactical chess player who always keeps the game interesting. Armed with his “Top Secret” moves, an eye for comebacks, and a dash of mystery, he’s a player who makes the chessboard his own arena of surprises and steady growth.
