Profile: Armand Rosario (aka forintio)
Armand Rosario, better known in chess circles as forintio, is a tenacious player who has been duking it out on the 64 squares since at least 2021. With a peak daily rating of 1041 achieved in early 2021, Armand has shown moments of brilliance, especially in the Closed Sicilian Defense and the Scandinavian Defense where his win rates rocket as high as 100%. Not too shabby for a warrior of pawns and knights!
His tactical style reveals a resilient spirit, boasting an impressive 61.83% comeback rate and a knack for clawing victories even after losing a piece (winning nearly half those fights). Armand’s determination rivals that of a dog with a bone — or a queen hunting down a pesky rook.
Although his blitz and bullet ratings tell stories of rollercoaster rides (with a peak blitz rating flipping from a dazzling 1222 in 2021 down to a humbler 404 in late 2024), his daily chess games remain his kingdom. Whether grinding through patient endgames or launching aggressive openings like the Vienna Game or the Englund Gambit, Armand remains a force to be reckoned with.
His largest winning streak stands tall at 12 games — a definitive proof that when Armand’s on a roll, even the toughest opponents quiver in fear. But like any great hero, he’s not without his share of setbacks, having endured a longest losing streak of 8 games, reminding us all that every chess journey has its ups and downs.
Armand’s psychological stats reveal a tilt factor of 8 – which means he might occasionally grumble about that missed fork or sneaky trap, but he bounces back stronger. His best battles tend to happen around 8 AM and 8 PM — clearly, either coffee or sheer stubbornness fuels his peak performance.
