About Raphael D.

Nicknamed Bibi52 in the chess world, Raphael D. is a strategic virtuoso with a twist of humor in his playstyle. An aficionado of the mysterious "Top Secret" opening, which clearly keeps his opponents guessing — or maybe even wondering if he just really likes the suspense!

Journey Through Ratings

Starting back in 2015 with a modest blitz rating of 1324 after his first win, Raphael quickly climbed the ranks, peaking at a solid 1938 in blitz by 2017. His rapid and bullet ratings tell a similar story of a sharp, fast thinker, peaking near the 1900s in rapid games and hitting 1786 at his bullet best. Daily games? He's warmed up there too, scoring up to 1635!

Playing Style

  • Average moves per win? An epic 64 moves — clearly he enjoys a good chess saga.
  • Endgame enthusiast — with a 72% endgame frequency, Raphael’s strategy thrives long after the opening moves.
  • White pieces get cozy with a 66% win rate, while black isn’t far behind at 63%.
  • Early resignation? Not his style — only a humble 1.21% early give-ups (because who wants to quit a good story early?).

Tactical Flair & Resilience

Raphael is a comeback king with an impressive 80% comeback rate after being in a tough spot. Loosing a piece doesn't faze him either — he boasts a perfect 100% win rate after such losses. His tilt factor is a calm 11, meaning he probably saves his rage for blundering opponents instead of throwing his own pieces off the board.

Match Records & Streaks

With over 73,000 wins in blitz alone and a longest winning streak of an eye-watering 33 games, Raphael is no stranger to dominance. Currently, he’s on a hot streak of 14 consecutive wins — perhaps it’s time to start taking notes (or hosting autograph sessions)!

Notable Opponents

Some opponents seem like recurring villains or maybe friendly rivals: coolisarulebadisbad, rainforest22, dimarik_ars, and others have faced Raphael hundreds of times. Against many, he holds a commendable 60-70% win rate, proving he’s as consistent as a Swiss watch.

When The Clock Ticks

Raphaeld’s success is steady throughout the week, boasting win rates generally around 64-65%—perfect for those trying to catch him online! His strongest hours? The wee hours between 0 and 4 AM where his win rate surges to above 66%. Night owl or strategic sleep schedule? You decide!

Behind The Username

Raphael D. exhibits an unyielding passion for the beautiful game, blending endurance, tactical genius, and a pinch of secrecy. Whether blitz, rapid, or daily, he’s a force to be reckoned with — and undoubtedly, a player with stories to tell after every game.

Keep an eye out for this player — he may just checkmate your expectations!
