Title: FIDE Master
Robert Rieger is a formidable chess player whose online warrior name, DrRiebert, strikes as sharply as his moves on the board. A holder of the respected FIDE Master title, Robert has demonstrated not just a knack for chess but a profound dedication that translates into thousands of games and a rollercoaster of rating climbs and battles.
Playing Strength and Style
With a peak bullet rating soaring to an impressive 2733 in March 2024, Robert is a speed demon in the rapid-fire world of bullet chess. His blitz prowess isn't far behind, having peaked at 2655, while his rapid rating remains steady around 2205. These numbers tell the tale of a player comfortable both unleashing lightning-fast tactics and setting strategic long-term traps.
Robert's style could be described as resilient and tactically aware—boasting a remarkable 82% comeback rate after setbacks. He confidently navigates the chaotic endgame, which he reaches frequently, showing a preference for prolonged strategic battles (averaging over 80 moves per win!) rather than quick knockouts.
Noteworthy Achievements
- Over 10,000 bullet games with nearly 5,300 wins — clearly not afraid to click fast and think faster.
- Specialist in the mysterious and intriguingly named "Top Secret" opening repertoire, mastering it with a solid near 49% win rate.

Quirks & Play Habits
Despite the seriousness of his play, Robert isn’t immune to the perils of tilt, especially around a modest 12 on the tilt factor scale—which means sometimes a loss can sting a bit more than necessary. Interestingly, his best tactical moments apparently flash in the wee hours around 2 AM - obviously when the chess muses whisper their inspirations.
His psychological resilience is evident in his "one-sided loss rate" of just 1.36%, emphasizing that when Robert loses, he usually fights hard until the very last move.
Recent Battles
In recent epic encounters, Robert has stood toe-to-toe with varied opponents like Charizard1011, vanquishing them with a swift and elegant checkmate, while dancing through complex positional webs in openings like the Closed Sicilian Defense and Nimzowitsch-Larsen Attack. Victory or defeat, his games are nothing short of enthralling chess dramas.
