Chess Player Profile: Rafiquio
Meet Rafiquio, the daring chess adventurer whose rating journey looks a bit like a rollercoaster ride — filled with bold attacks, narrow escapes, and the occasional spectacular tumble! Known for an unorthodox opening repertoire (ever heard of the Van t Kruijs Opening? Neither had we, until Rafiquio played it to dazzling effect), this player bravely ventures where many fear to tread.
With a peak blitz rating soaring to 552 and rapid peaks touching 561, Rafiquio has shown moments of brilliance and tactical wizardry. Not surprisingly, the daily chess rating laughs in the face of gravity, hitting a hefty 1095 at the highest. Bullet rating? A modest 420, but hey, everyone needs a little room to grow, especially when the clock’s ticking down to lightning-fast decisions!
Playing Style & Psychological Notes
Rafiquio is no stranger to drama. The early resignation rate hovers around 36.84%, which suggests either a judge of hopeless positions or maybe just a flair for wonderfully timed exits (because why suffer when there’s another game waiting?). Endgames appear in about a fifth of matches, showing that when the dust settles, Rafiquio enjoys some strategic finesse, with an average 38 moves in victories—a patient tactician at heart. However, losses often come quicker, averaging about 25 moves, proving that not all games end with a standing ovation.
The tilt factor is modest at 13 — which means Rafiquio occasionally gets annoyed after blunders but never quite loses composure long enough to spiral out of control. The best time to face this skilled warrior? According to statistics, 3 AM — be ready for some midnight madness on the board!
