Statistical Snapshot
- Best Rapid Month: Peaked at 622 in October 2024 before some rating theatrics brought the score down.
- Favorite Opening: Kings Pawn Opening with a solid 56.46% win rate, proving that simplicity isn’t always basic!
- Not-so-favorite Opening: Englund Gambit with a humble 26.67% win rate — maybe best left for surprise attacks?

Playstyle and Personality
Alik_Rog is a tactician who doesn’t quit easily—with an impressive comeback rate over 60%, it's safe to say this player truly lives by the motto: “Never say die!” The average game length for wins hovers at around 49 moves, hinting at a preference for well-fought battles rather than lightning strikes. Still, with an early resignation rate of just over 6%, there’s a dose of pragmatism in knowing when to fold ‘em. The psychological tilt factor of 7 suggests occasional frustration but nothing that slows down the game tempo.
Playing as White yields a 50.84% win rate while Black shows a plucky 42.98% success, proving Alik_Rog is comfortable both on the offense and defense. The favored time to strike is 13:00 hours — possibly fueled by a strong midday coffee or just peak brain power.
