Raghul: The Chess Dynamo
Known to the chessboards as raghul2301, Raghul is a player who embodies the spirit of resilience and tenacity, mixed with just the right pinch of unpredictability to keep opponents on their toes. Starting out in 2021 with modest Bullet ratings around 805, Raghul’s journey is anything but ordinary. His Bullet rating soared to a fiery peak of 1320 in 2024, proving he’s no stranger to quick thinking and lightning-fast moves—even if sometimes it's more “blitzkrieg” than “blitz chess.”
A versatile player, Raghul thrives across formats—Bullet, Blitz, Rapid, and even occasionally dipping into Daily games, although his Daily rating remains a humble 469 as of 2024 (because some battles last longer than a coffee break). His Rapid chess, however, is where Raghul really shines: climbing from 1240 in 2021 to a hefty peak rating of 1726 by 2025, showcasing patience and strategic depth that’s hard to match.
Raghul’s playing style is a fascinating blend—he’s no quitter, with an early resignation rate hovering below 4%, and quite the tactician, boasting an astonishing 83% comeback rate and a flawless 100% win rate after losing a piece. Talk about turning lemons into lemonade on the board! His average winning game lasts around 71 moves, which tells us this is a warrior who will tussle till the very end.
Psychological resilience is part of the package too, though he occasionally tips his hat to the tilt monster with a tilt factor of 10—perhaps a result of the infamous chess rage we all secretly admire. Interestingly, Raghul shows a curious preference for white with a slightly better win rate (51.8%) than with black (49.05%), proving that he likes to kick off the dance on his own terms.
He’s played thousands of games—over 4,400 Blitz matches alone—and has faced a pantheon of opponents repeatedly. Some rivals are worthy adversaries, while others probably wish they never sat at the same virtual table. Raghul’s longest winning streak is a staggering 15 games, a testament to his ability to channel his inner chess beast.
When it comes to timing, Raghul is a bit of a night owl and a morning warrior, with peak winning hours surprisingly happening around midnight and early morning (0h rating win rate over 78%). Perhaps this nocturnal streak is when the real magic happens—probably fueled by late-night snacks and caffeine.
To sum it up: Raghul is a chess player who fights smart and fast, adapts to adversity with grace, and can sprint through bullet games or settle into marathon rapid clashes. Whether it’s a calculated sacrifice, a daring comeback, or just keeping a cool head under pressure, Raghul keeps the 64 squares alive with drama and brilliance—one move at a time.
