About Bob B. (aka bobkbob007)
Bob B., known in the chess world as bobkbob007, is a rapid chess enthusiast whose rating journey has been as dynamic as his opening choices.

His peak rapid rating soared to 467 in April 2022—a pinnacle reflecting his strategic flair and perseverance.
Bob's favorite battlegrounds include the King’s Pawn Opening, where he holds a solid 48.5% win rate over 300+ games. His tactical adventures also involve the Van ’t Kruijs and Sicilian Defenses, showcasing a taste for historically rich and somewhat cheeky openings.
