Meet ogyyys: A Rapid Chess Rollercoaster
In the dazzling world of rapid chess, ogyyys is the player who can swing from thrilling victories to humbling defeats faster than you can say "checkmate." Reaching a peak rapid rating of 571 in April 2025, ogyyys has played 37 rapid games with a spirited record of 19 wins, 16 losses, and 2 draws. Clearly, this player never shies away from a challenge – and sometimes, that challenge fights back!
Opening Moves & Tactical Flurries
With a penchant for variety, ogyyys doesn’t stick to just one opening. The Van 't Kruijs Opening is a personal highlight, boasting a perfect 100% win rate in two games. The Englund Gambit and the classic King’s Pawn Opening have also been trusty battlegrounds, though the Scandinavian Defense seems to have beaten out our friend twice without mercy.
Winning & Losing Streaks: The Tale of Two Extremes
When ogyyys finds their groove, they can ride a winning streak as high as 4 games. Conversely, they've also weathered stormy losing streaks of equal length — a true chess warrior’s journey. But don’t worry, the current streak is a confident 2-game win run. Momentum is on their side!
Psychology & Style
Early resignations are rare for ogyyys (6.25%), showing tenacity even when the going gets tough. The endgame comes often, featuring in over a third of the matches—because every pawn counts, right? Notably, this player tends to perform slightly better with the black pieces, with a win rate near 58%. Maybe it’s the underdog spirit or love for counterattacks.
Fun Facts & Quirks
- Best playing hour: 17:00, where they clean house with a 100% win rate. Clearly, the early evening is their prime time.
- Comebacks: A dazzling 58% win rate after losing a piece – resilience to be admired!
- Favorite opponents: They’ve utterly dominated players like vurish and neo442211, boasting a perfect win record.
Recent Highlight: The Amazon Attack Checkmate
On June 5, 2025, ogyyys delivered a swift and stylish victory against vurish using the Sicilian Defense: Amazon Attack. Sacrificing a knight at just the right moment, they forced a resignation after a brilliant queen maneuver left the black king utterly trapped. Checkmate chic!

Hi ogyyys!
Great job stringing together several wins lately – your games show plenty of fighting spirit and creativity. Below is some personalised feedback to help you climb to the next level.
Your current strengths
- Killer instinct when the enemy king is exposed. In several victories you exploited back-rank weaknesses and loose kings (e.g. mates on h-files and back ranks).
- Confidence in open, tactical positions. You’re never afraid to sacrifice a pawn for activity, and that boldness will pay dividends as your fundamentals improve.
- Clock management. You regularly finish games with a healthy cushion of time, so you can afford to spend an extra 10–15 seconds on critical moves.
Key areas to improve
- Early queen adventures.
Openings with Qg4, Qa4+, Qb4, Qd5 etc. give the opponent free Tempo to develop. • Try to limit yourself to one queen move in the first 10 moves.
• Ask: “Can a knight or bishop do this job instead?” - Follow the classic opening checklist.
1) Fight for the centre → 2) Develop knights & bishops → 3) Castle → 4) Then launch pawn storms or queen raids.
In the loss to karan_1538 you played …f5 and …Ne3 before your king was safe and the undeveloped pieces couldn’t help. - King safety before pawn grabs.
Many English/Réti games showed your queen hunting pawns while allowing …Qh4+ or …Qg5. Make a post-game note: “Did I castle before move 10? If not, why?” – this habit alone will slash blunders. - Simplify your repertoire.
• With White: start with 1.e4 or 1.d4 and aim for simple, classical setups (Italian Game or London System).
• With Black: against 1.e4 play …e5 (learn the first 5-6 moves of the Giuoco Piano); against 1.d4 answer …d5 and develop normally.
A narrower repertoire lets you focus on tactics instead of memorisation.
Suggested daily routine (≈ 25 min)
- 10 min – Tactics puzzles (aim for 15 correct).
- 5 min – Quick computer review of your last game; write down the first big mistake from each side.
- 10 min – One 10-min rapid game applying the opening checklist.

and .Next milestone
A realistic short-term target is reaching 400 rapid by month-end. Cutting early queen moves in half and castling sooner should be enough to net the extra wins you need.
Keep up the hard work, develop – castle – then attack, and see you on the board!
