FIDE Master Roee Aroesti (Crazy_Eight)
Roee Aroesti is no ordinary chess player – they're a FIDE Master, which means they’ve earned the magical title awarded by the international chess federation for those who play so well even chess computers blink nervously. Known on the digital battleground as Crazy_Eight, Roee has danced through thousands of blitz and bullet games with remarkable prowess.
Rating Odyssey
Starting from humble beginnings around 1100 in 2016, Roee has steadily climbed the blitz rating ladder to a scorching high of 2646 in 2022! Bullet ratings have flashed just as brightly, with a peak of 2534. Rapid play might be slower, but for Roee it’s no less fierce, holding a fearsome peak rating of 2626 in 2023. Not too shabby for someone who averages wins in just under 5 moves – a quick knockout artist!
Playing Style & Quirks
Roee’s style could be summarized as "fast, furious, and occasionally fleeing." They have an early resignation rate of 96.5%, which suggests if the tides turn against them, they sprint for the exit faster than most. But don’t let that fool you — their comeback rate and ability to win even after losing a piece, although modest, show a never-say-die attitude hidden beneath the speed chess blitzkrieg.
On average, Roee’s victories come swiftly (about 4.7 moves), while the defeats are even quicker (2.4 moves). Efficiency in motion! Their win rates are pretty balanced, taking down opponents with the white pieces slightly more effectively (57.5%) than with black (56.4%).
Opponent Highlights
Facing a slew of challengers over the years, Roee has a love-hate relationship with some: flawless 100% win records against “martinseiiner” and “m-da1,” but a tricky time against “soundlord1” who has that elusive 0% win rate from Roee. Friendly fire, or fierce rivalry? You decide.
A True Speed Demon
Blitz, bullet, and rapid - a battlefield with no mercy for the slow. Roee even holds a respectable current winning streak of 3 games and boasts a longest winning streak of 27 — clearly the chess equivalent of a cheetah on a caffeine rush.
When Does Roee Play?
Peak performances seem to hit around noon and afternoon (especially 12 PM with a 61.78% win rate), while mornings are a bit rougher (watch out for that 7 AM dip). Weekdays are generally favorable hunting times, with Monday and Tuesday holding the best win odds. Weekends? Eh, even chess titans need to rest.
Final Thoughts
Roee Aroesti is a speed-chess virtuoso with a knack for quick decisions and rapid victories, earning the respect and admiration of the chess world. If you see Crazy_Eight online, best bring your A-game, a good mouse, and maybe a coffee – because this FIDE Master plays fast and plays serious, with a pinch of fun and plenty of fight.
