Profile Summary: The Enigmatic r7yq

Meet r7yq, a rapid and blitz chess enthusiast whose journey through the 64 squares is nothing short of a rollercoaster ride. Known for battling valiantly despite rating ebbs and flows, r7yq peaked at a swift 712 rating in blitz and a respectable 616 in rapid during May 2025 — a month filled with tactical skirmishes and valiant comebacks.

Chess Style & Strategy

With an early resignation rate of just 7.7%, r7yq is no quitter... unless the position looks grim enough to save some dignity and time. They favor deep endgames, occurring in nearly 57% of their games, often grinding out victories over an average of around 69 moves. Despite a solid 53% win rate with white, black pieces present more challenge, with only about 30% wins.

Ever the tactician, r7yq shines brightest when the chips are down, boasting a comeback rate of an astonishing 94%. Losing a piece? No problem; they still manage to win nearly 40% of those fights, proving resilience is their middle name.

Opening Choices & Performance

Openings tell a tale of courage and curiosity: r7yq’s Van 't Kruijs Opening stands out with a perfect 2/2 win record – a secret weapon, no doubt. The Philidor Defense Nimzowitsch Variation is another favored gambit with double wins and zero losses. Yet, not all is rosy; attempts at the King's Pawn Opening Leonardis Variation resulted in a five-game losing streak – but, hey, every hero needs their Kryptonite!

Recent Battles

In their most recent triumph, playing black against abozobrhommar, r7yq expertly navigated the complexities of Petrovs Defense Classical Variation, claiming victory by resignation after a probing and relentless attack. Their perseverance dazzled even as the position got heated.

Losses happen, of course. One particularly hard-fought defeat came against trdizo, where r7yq was checkmated in a fierce Queens Pawn Opening Chigorin Variation clash — a reminder that even great warriors must sometimes bow.

Psychological Notes

The mood swings are real: with a tilt factor of 6 (mostly keeping cool) and the best performance time logged at 18:00, evenings appear to bring out their tactical genius. Perhaps a refreshing cup of tea or a quick stretch between games could turn the tide on those tough losing streaks!

Fun Facts & Trivia

Always learning, always battling — r7yq reminds us that chess is as much about persistence and passion as it is about trophies. Whether winning or losing, the board is their playground and the game is never truly over until the last pawn falls.
