Arash Roghani: The Mind Behind the Moves
Arash Roghani, proudly holding the title of International Master from FIDE, is a chess tactician whose style balances calculated precision with unexpected flair. Since 2007, Arash has shown a remarkable aptitude for the game, maintaining a respectable daily rating of around 1750 and an impressive knack for turning the tides under pressure.
With a daily win rate hovering near 47%, Arash isn't just another player making moves—he’s a strategist who masterfully handles the Top Secret openings, cracking puzzles and confounding opponents with an almost secret weapon-like consistency. His longest winning streak of 6 games testifies to his ability to maintain focus and crush the opposition when the stars align.
Though his recent opponents like schopenhauer and armis have proved tough nuts to crack, Arash’s record reveals that certain rivals face a steeper climb; some have felt the sting of a 100% loss rate. It’s safe to say Arash’s playstyle can switch gears like a Formula 1 car—ready to accelerate when needed and coast to secure victories with a cool head (tilt factor: a mere 5%).
Experience has taught Arash the importance of timing. He’s most dangerous on Thursdays and Mondays, winning every single game played on those days, and shows an uncanny ability to perform dazzling comebacks, winning half of his games after a tactical setback. When he loses a piece, don't count him out—he’s been known to turn such moments into winning opportunities, boasting a 100% win rate after losing material.
Known for keeping games moderately long with an average of 36 moves per victory, Arash has a fondness for strategic endgames (35% of his games go the distance). Whether playing White or Black, he adapts fluidly, winning 43% of the time with White and tipping the scales up to 50% with Black.
In short, Arash Roghani is not just a player—you might even call him a chess whisperer, someone who listens to the board’s secrets and translates them into a dance of knights and queens. So, next time you face him, remember: the secret weapon might just be his serene smile before the storm of moves.
