Anthony Rosello (aka Just_bibi)

Meet Anthony Rosello, the rapid-fire chess enthusiast whose rating journey reads like an emotional rollercoaster on a caffeine rush! Bursting onto the scene in early 2025 with a spectacular Rapid peak rating of 623, Anthony showed that sometimes starting strong might just be a clever strategy to lull your opponents into a false sense of security.

Known in the chessaniverse as Just_bibi, Anthony’s playbook is as eclectic as his win-loss record is dramatic. He has mastered a variety of openings, with a special flair for the King's Pawn Opening - King's Knight Variation, boasting a perfect 100% win rate, and the Bishop's Opening - Berlin Defense, also undefeated in his two outings. His Scandinavian Defense and Queen's Pawn Opening have seen more tussles, hinting at a curious blend of tactical boldness and the occasional “oops” moment.

Anthony averages around 66 moves per win—meaning when he commits, it’s a long haul, like a chess marathoner rather than a speedster. But beware: his endgame frequency is an impressive 65%, proving he never surrenders without a fierce, lingering fight. He’s the kind of player who grinds opponents down until their pieces beg for mercy — or until time runs out, which it often does, seeing as he’s won four games on timeout alone!

His psychological makeup? A tilt factor of 4 suggests he’s got a temper just spicy enough to keep games interesting but cool enough to claw back with a whopping 66.7% comeback rate after losing pieces. This resilience is also reflected in his late-night performances, with 100% win rates at 22:00 and 23:00 hours — clearly, Anthony is a nocturnal grandmaster in the making.

Anthony’s battles have included a colorful cast: rivals like cimerchef give him trouble (0% win rate there), but against warrenscott223, dnnkm, and amine555578, Anthony has maintained a pristine record. When the clock ticks down and nerves come into play, Anthony’s penchant for quick resignations is low (~2.5%), showing he fights till the bitter end... most of the time.

Fun fact: Anthony’s longest winning streak is a solid five games, making him equal parts streaky and unpredictable. Throw him a Queen’s Pawn Opening, and he might just Mikenas Defense his way into a tense tactical melee. Or unleash the Kings Knight Variation and watch him execute flawless attacks.

If you ever find yourself facing Anthony at the board, brace yourself for gritty, methodical play peppered with occasional brilliance, and oh—bring snacks. Those 66-move games are no joke!
