Bernard RAZANAMAHEFA ARISTIDE — The Chess Adventurer

Bernard RAZANAMAHEFA ARISTIDE, also known in the online battlegrounds as Be0123456789, is the kind of chess player who mixes passion with persistence, occasionally garnished with a dash of delightful unpredictability. A rapid player at heart, Bernard has tangoed with the complexities of chess since at least 2022, consistently seeking new battles across blitz, rapid, and even bullet formats.

Rising Through the Ranks (Without Getting Too Stuck)

Bernard's peak turbo-chess rating soared to 569 in blitz back in March 2024 — not bad for a player who sometimes feels the sting of time pressure (timeouts win about 91 games but also lose 279!). His rapid play remains his throne, with a peak rating of 666, achieved in August 2022, showing that when the clock ticks a little slower, his magic truly shines. Yet, like everyone else, the bullet format sometimes proves to be a brutal whirlwind with a peak of 462 and many battles fiercely lost.

Playing Style: The Rollercoaster Ride

Known for both his tactical tenacity and occasional early resignations (only about 4.58% quit before the final curtain), Bernard exhibits a refreshing balance between fiery attacks and stubborn endgames (ending over half of his games in the endgame phase). His games tend to last around 50 moves when winning and stretch a little longer, around 56 moves, when the tides turn against him. His average first capture move, typically near move 6, hints at his openness to early skirmishes.

Preferred Openings — The Swiss Army Knife of Chess

• Scandinavian Defense: Arguably Bernard’s favorite battleground in blitz and rapid, holding just above 50% win rate in blitz (51.06%) and an impressive 72.73% win rate in rapid.
• King's Pawn Opening: Classic and direct, Bernard engages frequently, though with mixed results (around 41% win rate in blitz).
• Bishops Opening: Surprisingly successful in rapid with a 72.73% win rate, this opening adds a creative flair to his game.
• French Defense Normal Variation: A reliable choice yielding over 53% wins in blitz and over 66% in rapid.

Battle-Tested and Opponent-Savvy

Over countless online duels, Bernard has developed a rich tapestry of rivals and allies. He shines strikingly against players like mood_for_a_day, priyansh217, and kaiserameforever — boasting a 100% win rate against them. Yet, there are some opponents, such as lone_wolf1991 and vovaradik, who remind him that chess humility is always in style.

Not for the Faint-Hearted: The Current Streaks

Bernard once rode a wave of inspiration with a 7-game winning streak but has also endured a sobering 12-game losing streak. As with all true warriors, the wins and losses blend into a saga of growth and learning — with the spirit of chess always lighting the way.

Psychological Profile & Quirks

Beware the dreaded "Tilt" — Bernard admits to a tilt factor of 12%, proving even the best minds struggle with online chess frustrations. The good news? He archives a remarkable 58.4% comeback rate, mastering the art of bouncing back when the odds look grim. His best hour to strike is around 20:00, when his cognitive gears apparently fire at their finest.

Memorable Game Highlight

One of Bernard’s recent triumphs unfolded in a classic battle of wits starting with a bold queen sortie, where he swiftly capitalized on an opponent’s mistake to win on time. (Move 3: Qxe5+ — a cheeky early queen capture that set the tone!)
