Rald3

Meet the Man Behind the Feathers

Rald3, known to opponents as ItsMeRald3, is living proof that you do not need to follow the crowd. While the chess world mindlessly pushes pawns to the center, Rald3 opens with 1.f4 and lets the entire board know that the rook's bishop is a lien... er, a lifestyle. His signature Bird Opening has appeared in nearly 350 games, and his opponents still have not figured out how to stop the bird from flying.

The Bird Is the Word

With the White pieces, Rald3 plays the Bird Opening: Dutch Variation at a win rate north of 84 percent in bullet, which is frankly rude. When he wants variety, he reaches for the sneaky Amar Gambit, which went a terrifying 9-0 in his rapid games. As Black, he parks himself in the fortress-like Caro-Kann Defense and dares you to try something, because it usually will not work.

The Great Takeoff

In August 2026, Rald3 was just another player grinding away. Two months later, he had blasted past the 2000 mark in bullet and racked up a 30-game winning streak along the way. The chart below tells the story of a climb so steep that mountain goats should take notes.

Peak form: 2012 (2026-10-11) in bullet and 2110 (2026-10-06) in blitz. Not bad for a guy whose favorite opening was invented as a joke by a 19th century bird enthusiast.

Friendly Rivalries and Unfair Beatings

Some opponents bring out the best in Rald3. Others bring out something scarier. He is a combined 41-0-1 against ivangwapooo and nicssssss2, which is less a rivalry and more a public service announcement. Meanwhile, Naban due to Super Cutes🚫 ^_^ and itsme_kaye have traded blows with him in over 70 combined games, with records so even they probably argue about it at family dinners.

The 4 AM Gambit

Here is the strangest part of the scouting report: Rald3's win rate peaks around 4 AM, where he wins roughly 79 percent of his games. At 3 AM? Nearly as scary. At 6 PM and 9 PM? Zero percent. If you want a fair fight, challenge him in the evening, when he is basically a graceful swan on land. If you value your rating, wait until he is half asleep. Thursday is also statistically his best day, in case you were planning your week around it.

Style Notes

• The Queen is his favorite checking piece by a mile, with over 1,100 royal harassments delivered.
• Comeback rate of 81.58 percent: if you think you are winning, you are merely a spectator to a plot twist.
• Resigns early only about 7 percent of the time, so buckle in for the full ride.
• Tilt factor of 10 out of 100, meaning his blood is probably 90 percent ice.
• Endgames appear in nearly two thirds of his games, so his pawns actually know how to walk.

Final Verdict

Rald3 is a bullet chess specialist with a bird-based worldview, a venomous Caro-Kann, a suspicious talent for comebacks, and a body clock set to a time zone that does not officially exist. Respect the Bird, and whatever you do, do not play him at 4 AM.
