Raknu24: The Reluctant Chess Warrior

Meet Raknu24, a chess player whose journey is as dynamic as their game is intriguing. Raknu24 has danced through the realms of Bullet, Blitz, and Rapid chess, steadily climbing from a modest Rapid rating of 1175 in 2022 to a respectable 1313 in 2025. Although not quite a grandmaster yet, Raknu24's consistency and sheer volume of games—over 7,800 Rapid games and thousands more in Bullet and Blitz—show a passion for the board that’s hard to match.

Chess Style & Stats

  • Rapid Chess: Peak rating reached 1446, with an average win rate just shy of 51%, proving that slow and steady can indeed win the race.
  • Blitz & Bullet: A warrior of speed, maintaining around 1100 in Blitz and 1095 in Bullet, always ready to throw down the gauntlet faster than your coffee cools.
  • Win-Loss-Draw Records: With 2,742 wins and 2,711 losses in Rapid, Raknu24 lives dangerously close to a 50/50 life—no draws for the faint-hearted here (only 118 in Rapid!).

Opening Repertoire: The Secret Sauce

Raknu24’s top secret opening has been anything but secret—played in 459 Blitz games with a win rate just under 50%. Other favored debuts include the King’s Pawn Opening (classic and reliable), the flashy Sicilian Defense, and more playful choices like the Englund Gambit. According to stats, the Sicilian Defense has been particularly effective across formats, racking up wins with style.

Tactical Awareness & Psychological Quirks

With a 65.39% comeback rate and a perfect 100% win rate after losing a piece, Raknu24 could give Houdini a run for his money. Slow to resign (only around 5% early resignations), this player’s endurance is legendary—expect a fight till the very last pawn moves. The Tilt Factor stands at 15, meaning a few shaky moments, but nothing too dramatic for this resilient gladiator.

When to Play Raknu24?

Strategy tip: Raknu24 plays best during late mornings and early afternoons, with peak winning hours around 9 AM, 15 PM, and 19 PM. Avoid scheduling games at 21:00 if you want a better shot—Raknu24’s win rate dips a bit there. Weekdays or weekend warrior? It’s about the same: don't underestimate their skills on any day, although Mondays see a slightly higher winning rate.

Fun Facts

  • Longest winning streak: 11 games warily defending the crown.
  • Current winning streak: 8 wins—a hot streak worthy of a chess-themed soap opera.
  • Favorite opponents to play are as varied as their openings; some rivals cause more headaches, while others keep the wins piling up!

In summary, Raknu24 is the kind of player who doesn’t just play chess—they live it, breathe it, and sometimes tilt a little but come back stronger. Whether it's Bullet blazes or Rapid battles, this player keeps their opponents on their toes. Remember the name—you might lose to Raknu24, but you’ll never forget the thrill.
