Chess Profile: Regy Maulana (aka Gyukiii9)

Meet Regy Maulana, a spirited chess enthusiast who dances gracefully on the 64 squares, sometimes more like a clumsy tap dancer but always with heart. Known online by the handle Gyukiii9, Regy is a player who embraces the ups and downs of the chessboard with a grin—even if it means enduring 10-game losing streaks and rebounding with comebacks that would make Rocky Balboa proud.

Rating Rollercoaster

In rapid chess, Regy reached a peak rating of 1151 back in April 2025—quite the achievement for someone whose average hovers around 750 and who once started a month with a respectable 1029 only to face a freefall down to 609. Blitz chess tells a similar tale, with a high of 895 and a recent drop to the 176-228 range. It's safe to say Regy's chess journey resembles a thrilling rollercoaster ride, complete with dizzying highs and gut-wrenching lows.

Playing Style & Quirks

Regy isn't one to resign early, boasting a low early resignation rate of just 4.29%. Persistence is their middle name. While the average moves per win hover near 46, losses tend to drag on to over 60 moves—suggesting Regy fights tooth and nail before conceding defeat. Their best chess hours? Contrary to popular belief, it's not during the bright daylight—chess games played at 1 AM see the highest success rate. Coffee-fueled late-night sessions, anyone?

Favored Openings (and some not so favored)

Regy enjoys the classics: King's Pawn Opening and Bishop's Opening make frequent appearances, though the King's Gambit is more of an experiment gone wrong with a 0% win rate—brave but fatal. There's love too for the Englund Gambit with a surprising 67% win rate in rapid, showing Regy's tactical cunning when the chips are down. The Bishop’s Opening Berlin Defense is also a lucky charm in blitz, holding an impressive 73% win rate.

Battle Scars & Victories

With a rapid record standing at 30 wins against 56 losses and blitz at 67 wins versus 107 losses, Regy's games are a testament to unyielding spirit rather than polished dominance. Draws are rare but cherished. When facing opponents, Regy has fallen victim to some, like matteo_brt and purffect (0% win rate), but shines bright against others, including pyaaru and anshumanverma20, boasting a perfect 100% win record.

Recent Memorable Encounter

One recent thrilling victory against pyaaru ended in a classic checkmate using a crafty queen sacrifice and knight fork—proof that Regy can strike like a ninja when the moment is right. Though losses sting, like the speeding checkmate at the hands of matteo_brt, each match is merely a stepping stone for this resilient player.

The Psychology Behind the Moves

With a tilt factor of 10 (chill but human), Regy knows the mental game is nearly as tough as the tactical one. The impressive 70.1% comeback rate shows that falling down is just another opportunity to rise stronger. Whether it's a blunder or brilliant play, Regy commits 100% to each game—sometimes with hilarious results.

Regy Maulana might not yet be a Grandmaster, but they're definitely a Grandmaster of fun and perseverance on the chessboard. So watch out, world—Gyukiii9 is coming, armed with bishops, knights, and a sparkling sense of humor!
