Promise Richard - The Grandmaster of Top Secret Openings
Promise Richard, known in the chess realm as "promicerichard," is a player who blends grit with an impressive dose of mystery—especially when it comes to openings, all of which are classified under "Top Secret." Over hundreds of Rapid games, he's maintained a solid win rate of almost 48%, proving that his secret sauce isn’t just hype.
Since 2023, Promise has journeyed through the ratings jungle, reaching Rapid peaks near 860 and grinding through battles in Blitz, Bullet, and Daily formats. Not one to back down, his comeback rate stands tall at 56.8%, and get this: if he loses a piece? He bounces back with a perfect 100% win rate after losing a piece, showing nerves of steel or possibly some black magic.
Match stamina? Promise averages nearly 50 moves to win, fighting tooth and nail, even if it means games lasting a full marathon in endgames (which he frequents over half the time). But beware: his tilt factor is 10, meaning he’s got passion, and maybe just a pinch of battlefield rage when the chips don’t fall his way.
Statistically, Sundays and Wednesdays aren’t his strongest days (a meager 42% win rate), but catch him at 5 PM on a Friday, and you're in for a 64% chance of meeting his victorious alter ego.
Though his Bullet games might not shine as brightly (a modest rating hovering in the mid-300s), when it comes to Rapid, Promise Richard is a formidable foe, especially when wielding his secret openings weapon.
He has faced some players multiple times—most notably hivehess, clocking in 46 encounters—and he’s a mixed bag versus various opponents. Some he cleans house against, others manage to sneak past his defenses.
In summary, Promise Richard is chess's embodiment of “steady with a surprise twist,” a warrior who's at home in long battles, not afraid of the dark arts of comeback tactics, and always ready to keep his opponents guessing with those confidential first moves.
