Oscar de la Riva GM

Oscar de la Riva (oskychess)

Grandmaster Extraordinaire & Bullet Blitz Boss

Oscar de la Riva, proudly carrying the Grandmaster title from FIDE, is not your average chess player. Known by the chess community as oskychess, Oscar brings both brains and a dash of humor to the 64 squares. If chess was a video game, Oscar would be the final boss you face after dodging a thousand pawns and knights.

With a peak bullet rating soaring to an impressive 2722 back in June 2021 and a blitz pinnacle of 2639 in late 2019, Oscar’s quick fingers and sharp mind make opponents break a sweat faster than you can say “checkmate.” His bullet games boast a solid 54.78% win rate over 4,100+ battles, and his blitz record is even more dazzling with a 56.21% win rate.

Playing Style & Personality

Known for his love of the endgame (engaged in over 85% of his games), Oscar is like a chess marathon runner who finishes strong while most others are gasping for air. He averages about 75 moves per win, showing persistence and patience that's a mix of a grandmaster’s finesse and a stubborn mule’s resolve.

Don’t be fooled though — his tilt factor is a casual 9, which means Oscar can handle a few bad moves without flipping the board... too often. His comeback rate is an astonishing 87.46%, proving that Oscar never throws in the towel until the king hits the ground.

Fun Facts & Stats

• Longest winning streak: 20 games (because, why not?)
• Favourite time to play: Bright and early at 8 AM when others are still dreaming about their openings
• Psychological secret weapon: An uncanny 52.86% win rate even after losing a piece — having a "bring it on" attitude in adrenaline-fueled scrap chess.

Recent Games

Oscar’s recent victories include a slick win by resignation against MartinoRC, showcasing classic Grandmaster depth and precision in what appears to be Bird's Opening territory. He can also snatch wins on time, proving that speed and cunning go hand in hand in his playstyle.

While every great has their off days, Oscar sometimes finds himself on the receiving end of a resignation from opponents like emateu26. But hey, even Magnus had tough mornings!

In Summary

Oscar de la Riva is a true Grandmaster in every sense — strategic, resilient, and sometimes delightfully mischievous on the chessboard. Whether blitzing through bullet games with lightning speed or patiently unraveling endgame mysteries, oskychess is a player to watch, admire, and perhaps occasionally challenge (if you dare).
