Grayson Rorrer - International Master (aka Grandmaster2B)

Meet Grayson Rorrer, a fearsome International Master whose chess board antics have left both amateurs and seasoned opponents scratching their heads in equal measure. Far from the stereotypical stoic grandmaster, Grayson mixes high-level strategic prowess with a dash of humor and an impressive knack for bouncing back from adversity.

Rising Through the Ranks

Since 2016, Grayson’s bullet rating rocketed from a humble 1,690 to a near-legendary 2,916 by 2025. Blitz and rapid formats have similarly bowed to their skills, with peak blitz ratings nearing 2,861 and rapid scores consistently staying above 2,400. Daily chess? A more measured affair, but never far below the 2,000 mark. Clearly, Grayson’s love for fast, furious battles is matched by a tactical mind that thrives when the clock ticks down.

The Numbers Tell a Tale

  • Bullet Chess: Over 11,000 wins, sporting a win rate of 71.7% with a longest winning streak of 59 games — talk about momentum!
  • Blitz Chess: Nearly 5,000 victories with a strong 60% win rate, demonstrating sharp instincts and rapid decision-making.
  • Daily & Rapid: Grayson balances lightspeed play with thoughtful, slower games boasting over 65% win rates and an impressive comeback rate of 60% after going behind.

Style & Strategy

What makes Grayson tick? They have a penchant for early resignations about 16% of the time (because why drag out the agony?), but more often showcasing resilience with an endgame frequency just under 50%. Average moves per win hover around 53 moves, showing their games can be both tactical fireworks and marathon battles.

Always poised, Grayson’s psychological armor boasts a tilt factor of 21 – proving they are human but keep cool under pressure, especially with a stellar 93.6% win rate after losing a piece (that’s some serious grit).

Opponents Beware!

With over 2,000 games logged against familiar rivals and an extensive woven web of encounters, Grayson’s record against top opponents like kleong12 (90.5% wins) and capatl (an astonishing 88.9%) is nothing short of intimidating. Opponents might try to bluff but better bring their A-game or prepare for an embarrassing defeat.

When to Catch Them?

Want to challenge Grayson? Their peak performance hits around afternoon and late evening hours, with win rates soaring as high as 81-90% at 5-6 AM (assuming caffeine and creativity kick in), and an impressive 76%+ between noon and 2 PM. Sundays, Mondays, and Thursdays are their best performing days. Maybe the stars align just right on those days!

Behind the Scenes

Whether they're blitzing through games in a frenzy or calmly outmaneuvering rivals through long tactical skirmishes, Grayson’s approach is marked by adaptability, resilience, and a passionate love for the game. And if you catch them in a chat after a win — expect some witty banter and maybe even a humble brag about their 13-game current winning streak.

In short, Grayson Rorrer isn’t just a chess player — they’re a force of nature on 64 squares, armed with keen instincts, positional mastery, and the uncanny ability to turn the tables even when down a piece. Opponents beware: the “Grandmaster To Be” might just be unstoppable already!
