Profile Summary: Rudolf Redlich
Meet R-u-d-o-l-f, a chess gladiator who wields pawns and knights with equal measures of tenacity and a dash of flair. Rising from a Rapid rating peak of 2146 in late 2021, Rudolf's journey on the 64 squares has been a roller coaster ride of strategic victories and learning-filled defeats. Currently hovering around a respectable 1280-1300 in Rapid, he's the kind of player who never lets a setback define him — after all, his comeback rate is a fierce 73.49%!
Rudolf’s style? Oh, it’s a cocktail of patient endgame prowess (with an endgame frequency above 51%), strategic gambits, and the occasional early resignation that keeps the suspense alive—clocking in a tidy 2.75%. A typical win is a long, thoughtful affair lasting nearly 60 moves, proving he’s not one for quick tricks but for grinding down opponents with calculated precision.
When it comes to openings, Rudolf shows a particular fondness for the Ruy Lopez Opening - Old Steinitz Defense, where he holds a winning edge just above 50%, alongside a spirited attempt at the Sicilian French Variation, although that one tests his patience a bit more. In Blitz, the Ruy Lopez Birds Defense grants him a juicy win rate of over 68%, ensuring quick thrills for the crowd!
Rudolf's psychology is as intriguing as his game; with a tilt factor of 14, he’s human but not easily rattled. His best chess hours are around noon, so if you’re planning to challenge him, make sure it’s not right after his morning coffee break. His tactical awareness shines most when he’s trailing behind, nuking comeback chances at nearly three-quarters of battles where the chips are down.
Our hero’s encounter history is a mosaic of fierce rivalries and friendly competition. With a current winning streak keeping the fires burning at 1 and a longest winning spree of 18, Rudolf knows how to ride momentum — and when to regroup after his longest 14-game slump.
