Rakx🐝: The Bee-yond Chess Enthusiast

Rakx🐝 is a chess player who approaches the game with a curious mix of resilience, tactical wit, and a bit of whimsical charm. Known for their strikingly stubborn spirit, Rakx🐝 has weathered the wild swings of chess ratings from 2020 to 2025, proving that persistence is indeed sweeter than honey.

Road to Rating

In 2020, Rakx🐝 achieved a rapid chess peak rating of 775, soaring quickly before taking a few humbling dives, keeping the average steady around 584. Interestingly, the journey into 2025 saw a dip down to 149, reminding everyone that every queen can have an off day. Bullet and blitz formats are adventures of their own — highlighting a rapid-fire mindset but showing that speed doesn’t always guarantee victory, with a 25% win rate overall in bullet games and a lone blitz game played.

Opening Repertoire - A Bit of Everything!

Rakx🐝 loves variety in their openings but has a sweet spot for unconventional lines:

• Van Geet Opening Reversed Nimzowitsch Variation: A perfect 3/3 score. Clearly a nectar-filled comfort zone.
• Bishop’s Opening: Winning two-thirds of the rapid games here, proving bishops can be just as sneaky as bees.
• Van 't Kruijs Opening: With 60% wins in rapid, it’s a weapon of choice to sting opponents early.
• Other common stings include the classic King’s Pawn Openings with mixed results and some adventurous defenses like the Scandinavian and French.

Playing Style and Psychology

Rakx🐝 isn’t one for dragging games endlessly — with an average of about 40 moves per win and a readiness to wave the white flag early roughly 13% of the time. They enjoy a challenge, frequently entering endgames (~43%) and sometimes turning the tide spectacularly, boasting a 38.9% “comeback rate” and a flawless record when down a piece.

However, their tilt factor of 12 hints that losing can sometimes sting like a bee. They show marked preference for playing as Black (34.6% win rate) rather than White (31%), flipping the conventional wisdom on its head.

Opponent Chronicles & Notable Feats

Rakx🐝 has locked horns with a colorful cast of opponents. They’ve experienced tough losses (cue ha-socks), but also bagged perfect 100% win rates against a parade of challengers like prafullshriwas, prodigious1st, and roger-peter. Clearly, Rakx🐝 knows how to sting when it counts.

Fun Facts:

• Their best hour to play? 17:00, where they buzz with a 71% win rate.
• They win more often mid-week, especially on Wednesdays.
• With a quirky style that blends calculated tactics and spontaneous resignations, Rakx🐝 is the chess world’s equivalent of a wild yet strategic garden bee.

In the end, Rakx🐝 might not have the highest ratings, but their game is full of personality, ups and downs, and enough sting to keep their opponents on their toes — or should we say, on their pawns?
