Alin Romanov: The Spirited Rapid Firefighter

Meet Alin Romanov, known in some circles as Alinehohoho – the rapid chess connoisseur who proves that persistence truly pays off, even if the scoreboard doesn't always agree. With a peak rapid rating of 295 in the year 2025, Alin has battled through 16 swift games, racking up two wins, eight losses, and an impressive six draws. A true warrior on the 64 squares!

Alin’s opening repertoire is as diverse as a mystery novel, dabbling in everything from the classic King’s Pawn Opening (5 games), the elusive Four Knights Game Scotch Variation Accepted (owning a perfect 100% win rate there), to some less fortunate ventures into the Scandinavian Defense and Nimzowitsch Defense where victories remained elusive. But hey, you can't win them all – and Alin’s fighting spirit guarantees it’s never dull.

Known for a resilient comeback streak of 100%, Alin’s the player who never quits—even after losing a piece, the win rate remains a flawless 100%. Clearly, giving up early is not in the game plan (0% early resignation rate), but the occasional tilt factor of 4 reminds us that even chess warriors have their “off” moments.

When asked about playing style, Alin tends to stretch battles long, with an average of 73.5 moves per win and 68.75 moves per loss, favoring deep endgames (appearing in nearly 69% of matches) where every single move counts. White pieces bring a modest 11.11% win rate, black edges it slightly at 14.29% — proving that color doesn’t decide the fight.

Alin has tangled most often with the opponent pheonixmysn, facing them 16 times and maintaining a respectable 12.5% win rate. Clearly, rivalry fuels this player’s passion.

Rated rapid games mostly unfold on weekends and evenings, with Saturday and the 5pm hour being their prime battlefield – winning 20% and 50% of games respectively during those times. Strategy, timing, and perhaps a good cup of coffee all come into play.

In the grand arena of rapid chess, Alin Romanov is a noble contender—a blend of tenacity, strategic depth, and humor—ready to entertain, learn, and surprise in every game.
