Chess Player Profile: XLXLZH

Meet XLXLZH, a relentless chess warrior whose journey through the 64 squares is nothing short of epic. Like a grandmaster-cum-magician, XLXLZH has climbed the rapid rating ladder with a peak at an impressive 2434 in September 2020, and a notable blitz peak rating of 2372 earlier that same year. This isn't your average couch player; this is a maestro who thrives under pressure and probably plays better before sunrise (3:00 AM, to be precise).

With over 10,000 rapid wins and a whopping 12,000 blitz victories, XLXLZH shreds through opposition like a hot knife through butter, though even the best have their off days — expect a loss streak topped at 8 games, but nothing the current champion can't handle. Speaking of winning, XLXLZH boasts a longest winning streak of 23 games, because who doesn’t enjoy a bit of unbeaten glory?

Playing Style

  • Early Resignation Rate: A humble 1.19% — because victory tastes sweeter when opponents stick around for the applause.
  • Endgame Frequency: Master of the final act at 84.87%, proving that many games are won or lost when pieces start to shed.
  • Average Moves Per Win: A lengthy 77.5 moves, showing patience that would rival a saint’s.
  • Average Moves Per Loss: 85.9 moves — yes, losing is drawn-out misery for XLXLZH as well.
  • Avg First Capture Move: 7.12 — a classical approach, getting cozy before opening fire.
  • White Win Rate: 59.79%, slightly more aggressive on the white side.
  • Black Win Rate: 56.79%, graceful under pressure, clutching victory with black pieces.

Tactical Wizardry

  • Comeback Rate: A staggering 86.09% — because giving up isn’t in XLXLZH’s dictionary.
  • Win Rate After Losing a Piece: 55.81% — yes, even when losing material, there’s hope!
  • One-Sided Loss Rate: A meager 1.32% — minimal blunders make for a strong, steady player.

Psychological Resilience

XLXLZH is armed with a tilt factor of 8 (low enough to be a zen master). Rated vs. casual win difference of 58.29% means they can crush it against serious contenders while keeping a smirk for casuals. Notably, the best times to tackle opponents are the wee hours, when most of us are dreaming of checkmates!

Favorite Openings

Our protagonist’s opening repertoire is shrouded in mystery — the famous "Top Secret" is their bread and butter, winning 57.14% of 18,023 rapid games. Other notable weapons include the Alapin Sicilian Defense and Sicilian Defense Kan Knight Variation, both undefeated so far in their limited usage. Could they be chess’s version of a spy? You bet!

Notable Stats

  • Preferred Time Control: Rapid — because who wants to wait, right?
  • Total Rapid Games Played: Over 17,000 — a true blitzing veteran.
  • Total Wins Across Rapid and Blitz: More than 22,000 — a tally most would envy.
  • Most Played Opponents: beppumop (87 games), rifkisaad (72 games), and bosko1958 (70 games) — fierce rivals or friendly foes?

Fun Fact

XLXLZH’s resilience shows best in their recent games: a beautiful win against GoldPenguin12 by resignation after a complicated maneuvering battle, and a never-say-die spirit visible in thrilling comeback wins that'll make you want to hit “rematch” on any platform. Pro tip: Avoid playing them right after midnight unless you want a game full of surprises!

Hi XLXLZH – here’s some feedback from your latest rapid sessions

What you’re already doing well

  • Initiative-first mindset – games like your win over goldpenguin12 show how comfortably you keep pieces active and pile up pressure after breaks such as f5/f4.
  • Conversion when ahead – versus vlinge22 you traded into a rook-and-passer ending, kept the rook behind the pawn and didn’t let counter-play appear.
  • Clock management – even in the sharp Scotch Gambit against malay_singh you reached move 25 with ~50 % of your time, forcing the flag without rushing decisions.

Recurring problems

  1. King safety vs pawn storms
    You often answer …g5/…h5 setups with automatic pushes (g3, h4, f4) instead of asking “what is the threat?”.
    Example:
    – after 26.Bxh5? the dark squares collapsed.
  2. Light-square weaknesses from early f-pawn moves
    In the losses to Dodji_Tati02 and Pranay1255 …Qf4+, …Nf3+ motifs repeatedly landed because the f- and h-pawns had vacated your king’s shield.
  3. Side-line experimentation
    Openings such as 3.Na3 in the English or ultra-early queen sorties give you interesting games but also free targets. Your score with main-line structures (Scotch, London/QGD, Classical Sicilian) is ≈75 %; with off-beat lines it drops below 50 %.
  4. Rook-ending technique
    A +5 endgame versus Pranay1255 slipped after 31…Bxf4 and 40…Kf7. Remember: rooks belong behind passed pawns and the “umbrella” method is your friend against side checks.

4-week improvement plan

ThemeHow to trainTarget metric
ProphylaxisPause 5 critical positions each day and list opponent threats; tag them with prophylaxis in your notes.Hold ≥ 70 % vs …g5/…h5 structures
King-attack calculationPuzzle filter “mate in 3-4”, 20 per day.> 80 % accuracy
Rook endingsLucena & Philidor drill set twice weekly.Convert in ≤ 60 s each
Opening hygieneFix two main repertoires (1.d4 + QGD/London; Black: Classical Sicilian & …e5 vs 1.e4). Add one new sub-line weekly.First 15 moves played in < 3 min with eval swing < 0.40

“S.T.O.P.” blunder-check

  1. Scan every check, capture, zwischenzug.
  2. Threats – what does my opponent want?
  3. Own plan – does my move fit my strategy?
  4. Pawns & king – have I left a hole?
Enjoy the grind, keep the games flowing, and ping me when you smash through 2500 😊
