Profile: MatthiasRolfs

Meet MatthiasRolfs, a chess adventurer in the vast kingdom of Rapid chess. With a peak rating of 1007 achieved back in March 2021, Matthias has experienced the rollercoaster thrills of the chess battlefield – from quickcheck wins to the humbling lessons of defeat.

Known for a tenacity that borders on stubbornness, Matthias once rode a 3-game winning streak but has also bravely survived a crushing 9-game losing streak. Chess mastery may still be a quest, but every loss just adds fuel to Matthias’ fire – or maybe just a reminder to take a coffee break.

This player exhibits a rather interesting psychological trend: an early resignation rate close to 40%, which might suggest Matthias knows when to cut losses or is simply leaving a dramatic flair in the mix. But beware – despite the early surrenders, if the game drags into the endgame, mathematics suggest they mean business with a solid 27.27% win rate playing Black and a tenacious 33% comeback rate.

When it comes to openings, Matthias has a secret weapon coded as "Top Secret" with over 60 battles fought there, though opponents have often brought the heat resulting in a modest 23.44% win rate. But don’t mistake this for lack of passion – the games are played with heart and a flair for unexpected twists, as each opening is its own adventure.

Timing is everything, and Matthias seems to favor the early morning, boasting a 60% win rate at 8 AM, meaning an espresso might just be the secret chess elixir. Wednesdays and Saturdays are also lucky days, with a solid 50% win rate on both, while Fridays apparently bring a perfect 100% sitting circus – we suspect some chess magic or sheer coincidence is at work!

Matthias is no stranger to intense rivalries, having faced several opponents more than once. Some rivals have seen the fury of a checkmate delivered in brilliant fashion, like the memorable 2021 victory by checkmate against Quiskeyana. This victory featured daring queen and rook maneuvers, ending with a swift Rh6#: an exclamation point on a battle well fought.

Off the board, MatthiasRolfs is likely the kind of person who approaches challenges with a smile and a shrug – because chess isn’t just about rating points, but stories, struggles, and the occasional triumph that feels like winning the world championship (even if the rating is still on the climb).

In the kingdom of 64 squares, MatthiasRolfs marches on – proving that victory isn’t everything, but every game is an epic.
