Meet yeyitov, a Rapid chess enthusiast whose rating rollercoaster could make even seasoned thrill-seekers envious. Peaking at a rapid rating of 744 in February 2025 and a daily rating high of 800 in May 2025, yeyitov plays with the heart of a lion and the resilience of a boomerang.

Playing Style & Strategy

An aggressive tactician with an average win lasting nearly 46 moves, yeyitov loves a good battle and often drags opponents into the thick of the struggle. Quick to resign only about 10% of games, this player isn't one to give up easily... except on those rare occasions when lunch is served early.

Interestingly, when playing as Black, yeyitov hits a better win rate (over 50%) compared to White. Perhaps the dark squares bring out the darker side of their chess personality!

Tactical Prowess

Never count out yeyitov, who boasts an impressive 71.9% comeback rate when trailing in a match. Losing a piece? No problem, they've won almost half of those games, proving that chess is as much about grit as it is about clever moves.

Signature Openings

• Van t Kruijs Opening – 107 games played with close to a 47% win rate. A classic choice for excitement and complexity.
• King's Pawn Opening – About half of these games end in wins. It's the bread and butter for yeyitov’s rapid adventures.
• Scandinavian Defense – Moderately successful with nearly a 48% win rate; adventurous but balanced.
• Queen's Pawn Opening – The highest win rate here at 53%, proving sometimes going left (pawn-wise) pays off.
• Nimzowitsch Defense – A sneaky favorite with a solid 60% win rate in a smaller sample, channeling hypermodern vibes.

Competitive Record & Rivalries

In the head-to-head realm, yeyitov shows formidable dominance against some (a 100% win rate over several opponents) but has a tough time with others, such as y-v-m (0% win rate over 3 encounters). Consistency against tough opponents remains an area for growth.

Psychological and Temporal Patterns

Morning person? Apparently so! With the best time of day to play at 6:00 AM and a noticeable tilt factor of 8 (which in chess psychology terms means occasional emotional swings), yeyitov prefers to start the day ready to battle pawns and kings alike before some have even had their coffee.

Win rates fluctuate during the day, with peak effectiveness at the crack of dawn and early morning, while afternoons and evenings can be a bit shakier—maybe a nap would help?

Recent Highlights

A recent notable victory came with a win on time against Hutch327, showcasing that sometimes victory simply comes down to patience and a ticking clock. Other wins by checkmate against ichileftb and AilinBuach demonstrate that yeyitov knows how to seal the deal when opportunity strikes.

• Yeyitov is a fan of complex openings with names that sound like exotic dishes: Van t Kruijs, Scandinavian Mieses Kotrc variation, and more.
