Obm88: The Calculating Maverick

Meet Obm88, a chess enthusiast whose rating journey reads like a rollercoaster ride through the land of rapid-fire brain battles. Starting 2025 with a promising peak rapid rating of 504, Obm88 dives headfirst into games with a curious mix of daring openings and gritty endgames.

This player’s preferred battlefield? Blitz — those nerve-wracking, fast-paced games where every second counts. With a Blitz peak rating of 263 and a Bullet flurry maxing out at 256, Obm88 proves they can think on their feet… or at least on their fingers.

Opening Strategies Worth a Nod

• Mieses Opening Reversed Rat Variation: Winning over half the time with a 54.55% success rate. Who knew a rat could be so sneaky?
• Saragossa Opening: The secret weapon with an impressive 61.54% win rate — sounds like Obm88’s chess catnip.
• Modern Defense and Nimzowitsch Larsen Attack: Balanced approaches with nearly 50% wins, demonstrating both boldness and adaptability.

Playing Style & Mindset

With about 68% of games reaching the endgame phase and an average move count nudging 63, Obm88 doesn’t rush to resign like a drama queen — early resignations are a mere 5.7% of their games. Resilience is the name of the game here: an impressive comeback rate of 78.23% ensures that even when pieces are lost, hope is never truly gone.

Of course, even the best get tilted now and then, but Obm88 keeps a modest tilt factor of 10 — enough to show passion but not enough to break the board. Also, the holy grail time for winning moves is apparently 6 AM, so early birds catch more bishops.

A Record of Triumphs and Trials

With just under 50% wins in Rapid games (142 wins vs. 161 losses) across many battles fought, Obm88 knows that chess is a game of patience and persistence. When facing equal-rated opponents, the win rate rocket-shoots to 66.67% — equal ground suits them well.

Opponents beware: Obm88 has scored victories against a fascinating lineup of challengers — from andyruiz586 to charvalo — with many opponents tasting defeat after their showdown.
