ogMorin: The Rollercoaster Rapid Racer
Meet ogMorin, a chess player whose career might best be described as a thrilling rollercoaster through the rapid time control landscape. With a peak rapid rating of 330 achieved in February 2025, ogMorin has clearly experienced moments of brilliance but also endured the humbling lows of this game of infinite possibilities.
Although ogMorin's rapid rating has fluctuated dramatically — from an enthusiastic 225 in early 2025 to a puzzling dip to 100 before clawing back to the low 200s — their perseverance remains unmatched. Rapid games have been the true arena for ogMorin, where they've racked up 31 wins, 39 losses, and a handful of draws. Blitz chess? Let's just say ogMorin has dipped toes in that pool with less success — a 100 rating from a single challenging game suggests blitz might be a future conquest or a friendly foe.
As for style, ogMorin is a strategist with patience, averaging almost 60 moves to victory. An early resigner in just about 5% of games, they opt to battle through endgames nearly 58% of the time. Combacks are their specialty, boasting a tidy 58% success rate when turning the tables after a tough start. But beware: the dreaded tilt factor of 7 hints at some fiery emotions once things start to go sideways.
