Meet Ramalho22: The Chessboard's Rollercoaster Warrior

Ramalho22 is the embodiment of a tenacious and unpredictable blitz gladiator who loves to dance on the edge of chaos. From humble beginnings with ratings oscillating between the dizzying lows of 100 to occasional sparks hitting past 500, this player’s journey is nothing short of a thrilling rollercoaster ride.

Starting from cautious plays in early 2022, Ramalho22's blitz rating has rocketed and dipped like a knight on a wild spree—peaking at an exciting 507 in March 2025, proving that persistence pays off even if sometimes conquered by brutal losses. With a near even split of wins and losses in over 1,700 blitz games (830 wins, 832 losses), Ramalho22 is no stranger to close calls. But hey, who said chess was easy?

Not one to shy from bold openings, Ramalho22 favors the King’s Pawn Opening and the tricky Bishop’s Opening Berlin Defense, the latter boasting a blistering 71% win rate. When not wielding knights and rooks in blitz battles, this player has flirted with rapid chess, achieving a peak rapid rating of 1014—that's like turning a turtle into a hare! Bullet chess? Ramalho22 dabbled just enough to snag some sparks, peaking at a modest 337.

Known for gripping games lasting an average of 51 moves when winning (and about 41 when losing—because endings are hard), Ramalho22 has a respectable comeback rate of 68%. When losing a piece, the fighting spirit shines through with a nearly 40% win rate—never counted out, always scheming an encore.

Psychologically, Ramalho22 is a master of resilience, though not immune to the tilt monster, who visits rarely (about 12%)—probably after sacrificing a queen for a pawn. Early resignations happen about 15% of the time, showing a healthy mix of humility and learned judgment.

Recent Victories & Defeats

The latest triumph came in a rapidastic game featuring the Queens Pawn Opening - Zukertort Chigorin Variation, where Ramalho22’s cool-headed endgame and timely pressure forced an opponent to resign. On the flip side, even champions face hurdles: a recent Scandinavian Defense game ended abruptly with a tough loss, a humble reminder that every grandmaster was once a beginner.

Style Highlights

• Loves mid-game skirmishes and subtle positional play, especially in Blitz.
• Efficient with both White and Black, with slightly better performance holding the dark pieces.
• Prefers striking openings that allow tactical opportunities rather than dull, drawn-out games.
• Best chess hours? Early mornings at 5 AM—apparently, Ramalho22’s brain wakes up well before coffee does.

To sum it up, Ramalho22 is a warrior on the 64 squares: sometimes taking casualties, sometimes conquering kings, and always ready for the next challenge with a grin (or a groan). Whether queueing up a bullet bullet or taking on the blitz beast, this player brings heart, humor, and a healthy dose of “what just happened?” to every match.
