William Rios Rodríguez (aka Billy1801) - The Rapid Riddler

Meet William Rios Rodríguez, a chess player whose rapid games are a rollercoaster of triumphs and near-misses. With a peak rapid rating of 798 in 2025 and a solid 757 to round off the year, William is no stranger to the battlefield of 64 squares. Bullet chess? Well, let's just say his 379 rating and a 25% win rate leave room for "dramatic comebacks" (and a few hasty resignations).

Known for wielding a "Top Secret" opening strategy that mystifies opponents, William boasts a neat 50% win rate in rapid and even snagged a bullet win or two. When it comes to endurance, William’s longest winning streak is a respectable 4 games—proving he knows how to put together at least a decent winning run before reality bites back.

His playing style is patient and strategic, averaging over 50 moves per victory, but interestingly, he usually drags losses out longer, perhaps hoping the game will magically flip. The black pieces seem to be his lucky charm, with a win rate over 54%, whereas white games are a little more challenging at 40%.

Psychologically, William has a tilt factor of 4—meaning he gets a tiny bit rattled, but mostly keeps his cool. Remarkably, his comeback rate is a stunning 60%, and he wins every time after losing a piece, proving resilience is his middle name. However, opponents beware: a one-sided loss from William is a rare sight (just 4.76% of games), so he usually fights to the end.

Outside the stats, Billy1801 enjoys a casual rivalry with a cast of colorful online adversaries including sucvattenhieu (a 0% win rate victim), and a string of names he boasts a perfect or near-perfect record against. A weekday warrior, he shines brightest on Saturday and Sunday afternoons, and if you face him at 22:00 or 15:00 hours, prepare for a tough fight—those are his peak winning times!

All in all, William is a tenacious player who mixes tactical prowess with a touch of mystery. Whether adapting to rapid play or scrambling through bullet chaos, his games are always a captivating watch.
