Remi Granger

Profile Summary: Remi Granger (hyriuka)

Meet Remi Granger, known in the chess realm as hyriuka — a rapid thinker with a sometimes unpredictable flair on the board! Remi’s journey through the chess ranks is nothing short of a rollercoaster, with a peak rapid rating of 853 achieved back in November 2020. Though the rating graph has had its ups and downs, Remi remains a fierce competitor who never backs down, boasting a solid comeback rate of nearly 80% when the chips are down.

A lover of tactical chaos and endgame drama, Remi averages 63 moves per win, proving patience is truly a virtue. Being a white player edges the odds slightly in Remi's favor with a 52.63% win rate, while black pieces still pose no real threat of intimidation holding a respectable 46.48%. Endgames? They happen in almost 66% of Remi’s games, so expect some real marathon moments where nerves and strategy collide.

Remi’s style might be summarized as: “play fast, think faster, and hope the opponent blinks first.” With an early resignation rate of just over 6%, quitting early is not in the game plan — rather, the tension-filled battles often stretch long with dramatic checkmates or well-earned resignations peppered throughout. Remi’s longest winning streak is an impressive 9 games, but the mood can quickly swing with a longest losing streak of 6, keeping things spicy.

Opening Repertoire Highlights

• Saragossa Opening: 71.43% win rate — because why not keep opponents guessing?
• Indian Game & Vienna Game: Both a reliable 75%, proving a knack for the classics with a twist
• Philidor Defense: A respectable 66.67% success rate — an old-school favorite that still packs a punch
• Some openings, like Queens Pawn Opening Mikenas Defense, well, let’s just say Remi hasn’t quite warmed up to them yet...

Memorable Battles

In one of the latest triumphs on June 2nd, 2025, Remi delivered a swift checkmate using the Queen’s Pawn Opening against FleecySaturn493. It was a graceful dance of strategic pawn pushes and knight maneuvers culminating in a classic Qxg7# finish — a reminder that even in long battles, the queen’s deadly charm reigns supreme.

Of course, not every game ends with fireworks. In a tough loss on the very same day, Remi fell to Aida2311 by checkmate, showcasing the ever-present challenge of staying sharp, especially when playing the Van t Kruijs Opening — a nuanced battlefield where careful calculation is king.

Psychological Game & Playing Habits

Remi’s best time of day to rattle the chessboard? Exactly 6 PM, when the mind is fresh, and the coffee (or tea) has kicked in. Tuesdays see the highest win rate of 61.9%, so mark your calendars! Though the tilt factor is relatively low at 6%, everyone has their off days — luckily, Remi’s tactical awareness keeps bouncing back strong.

Whether playing blitz or rapid chess, Remi’s spirit shines brightest when facing opponents rated below their own level, winning over 81% such games with a grin and a plan. Against stronger foes, it’s more of a survival challenge with learning moments at every turn.

All in all, Remi Granger is a determined player who mixes strategic patience with an adventurous streak. If you’re lucky enough to face hyriuka over the board or online, expect a spirited battle filled with clever plays, unexpected twists, and never a dull moment.
