Profile Summary: Rafal C. (aka Rafau88)

Meet Rafal C., a chess enthusiast whose game evolves like a well-adapted species on the 64-square chessboard ecosystem. With a preferred rapid rating that has fluctuated between 370 and 952 in 2024, Rafal truly embodies the survival of the fittest in the shifting environment of online chess battles.

Rafal’s strategic genome favors rapid time controls, where they have played a whopping 1,120 games in 2024 alone, winning just shy of half with a win rate of 47%. Despite occasional losses, Rafal’s resilience is encoded deeply — a comeback rate of 64.48% ensures no lost position is a terminal mutation.

With an endgame frequency of 58.41%, Rafal enjoys those classic cellular divisions where pawns transform and kings dance. The average winning match lasts about 55 moves — proof that patience and tactical metabolism are part of his DNA.

For the blitz and bullet enthusiasts, Rafal displays playful bursts of energy, albeit with room to evolve: blitz peaks at 443 rating in 2025, and bullet clocks in a modest 451 max. However, the perfect win rate after losing a piece (100%) shows Rafal’s uncanny ability to regenerate advantage from critical injury, truly a chessboard creature of remarkable biological resilience.

Psychologically, Rafal occasionally experiences a tilt factor of 9 — a reminder that even the strongest enzymes sometimes denature. But the current winning streak of 6 games proves this mighty organism consistently adapts to environmental stress.

Opponents beware: Rafal’s win DNA crushes certain rivals with 100% success rates over multiple species encounters — taking no prisoners when the cellular defense systems are optimized. Yet there are a few opponents where the evolutionary arms race is still on, keeping Rafal’s genome in a constant state of flux.

When Rafal unleashes white pieces, the win rate is a robust 48.35%, with a slightly less dominant 45.72% with black — proving versatility in every color-coded cellular membrane. Evening hours (especially 16:00 to 21:00) appear to activate Rafal’s peak enzymatic chess functions, with win rates above 50% during these critical times of day.

To sum it up: Rafal C., aka Rafau88, is a dynamic chess organism thriving in the evolving ecosystem of rapid and blitz play, with a penchant for comebacks and endgame mastery. Not just a player but a living, breathing theory of natural selection in action on the battlefield of pawns and kings.
