Starting off in 2022 with a rating shy of 500, otorber has steadily climbed the ladder of chess mastery, reaching a peak rapid rating of 960 — quite a feat for someone who didn’t win every game but kept fighting! Persistence pays off.

Known for favoring the Scotch Game and the King's Pawn Opening - King's Knight Variation, otorber brings a classic touch to the board, often engaging in vigorous battles that prove their love for chess is matched only by their resilience. With a win rate hovering around 56% in the Scotch Game and nearly 59% in one of the nimble King's Knight variations, they know how to put the pressure on their opponents.

Playing style highlights include an average of nearly 58 moves per won game and a strong tendency to stay till the endgame (59.6% of their games dip into that thrilling final phase). They’re not morning coffee kind of player — in fact, their best time to play is surprisingly at 6 AM, catching the chessboard while the rest of the world snoozes.

Not afraid to resign when things get rough — with a resignation rate of about 3.6% — otorber knows when to fold 'em, but also knows how to deliver a checkmate knockout when it counts.
