Profile Summary: Igetyourrook
Meet Igetyourrook, the chess enthusiast known for sneaky moves, epic comebacks, and a knack for turning the tides when it matters most. With a rapid rating soaring to 1673 in 2025, this player has steadily outmaneuvered opponents through years of persistent play and a love for the classics — although their “Top Secret” opening remains just that: a mystery.
Igetyourrook's journey is nothing short of a chess novel. Starting in 2023 with a respectable rapid rating of just over 1100, the climb to today’s competitive level is marked by grit as much as games—over 3,000 rapid games played, with a near-even split between wins and losses, and a sprinkle of draws for the drama. Not one to shy away from intense matches, they’ve embraced the long grind, averaging around 68 moves per game whether winning or losing. Endgames are where the magic happens, with over 70% of their games reaching that final battlefield.
If resilience were a chess piece, Igetyourrook would be the queen. They boast an impressive 80% comeback rate after setbacks and a 100% win rate following the loss of a piece, proving that losing material doesn’t mean losing hope. Beware the tipping point; their tilt factor — a gentle 10% — hints at a cool composure, only occasionally rattled by the chess gods.
Blitz isn't the favorite playground here, with a max rating hovering just above 1060 and a modest collection of games; Rapid is where the glory lies. When playing with the white pieces, Igetyourrook strikes a bit more boldly, holding a 47.48% win rate compared to a solid 42.39% when defending the black side.
Timing is everything, and our player peaks in the afternoon and early evening. The magical hour? 10 AM and 22 PM, where win rates flirt with 48-49%. Even early mornings at 7 AM bring a surprising 61% win rate — perhaps fueled by caffeine and a fresh mind.
Known for a longest winning streak of 8 games and currently riding a fresh victory, Igetyourrook is no stranger to momentum. Their notorious opponents list is a tale of extremes: undefeated against some (looking at you, samayame and fokin_viktor), and humbled by others, reminding us all that chess can humble even the most tenacious warrior.
In the grand chessboard of life, Igetyourrook combines solid strategy, dogged tenacity, and a pinch of cheeky unpredictability — much like a chess game where you just might lose your rook, but win the war instead.
