Rathanforreason: The Curious Chess Journey

Meet Rathanforreason, a player whose rating graph looks like the plot of an indie thriller – with unexpected twists and turns but plenty of exciting moments.

Rating Recap

  • In 2024, blitz rating started from a modest 100 and climbed to a max of 603, finishing the year at 478. Talk about a rollercoaster!
  • 2025 blitz shows some consistency with a starting rating of 470, maxing out at 599, and currently sitting at 493.
  • Daily chess ratings hover mid-range — peaking at 961 but recently at a steady 726 in 2025.
  • Rapid chess? That was a wild ride with a high of 1343 dropping to 623 by the end of 2024.

Playing Style & Psychology

Rathanforreason is patient, spending an average of 52 moves before claiming victory, and even more before losing (about 59 moves). They tend to go deep into endgames (over 58% of games). Interestingly, the player quits early only about 5% of the time—either gracefully or stubbornly fighting until the bitter end.

There’s a strong comeback spirit here, with a whopping 66% chance of bouncing back after a rough patch, and an almost mythical 100% win rate after losing a piece—clearly a master at turning tables. Still, a tilt factor of 9 keeps things human; even champions have their moments!

Performance Highlights

With near-equal win rates as White (51%) and Black (49%), Rathanforreason proves versatile and resilient. Some favorite secret weapons include the intriguingly dubbed "Top Secret" opening across all formats—winning almost 50% of blitz games and nearly 49% of rapid encounters.

On the social front, our player has demonstrated a curious mix of rivalries and alliances. Opponents like dietrichbepan, donaldm04, and hower_sunrise know all too well the 100% win rate menace. Meanwhile, players like nicolaialbaek have managed to escape unscathed.

Peak Hours & Best Days

Strategically, the chessboard battles are best fought mid-morning and early afternoon. Win rates soar past 55% at 11AM and noon, while Sunday through Thursday present the most fruitful days for victories (Thursday clocks in at nearly 55%). Night owls beware: 1AM is a tough hour to shine, with a mere 27% success rate.

Anecdote

Legend has it that Rathanforreason once won a twelve-game winning streak. Yes, twelve! That's enough to make even Kasparov raise an eyebrow and say, "Okay, show me your secrets."

All in all, Rathanforreason is a dynamic, witty, and persistent chess adventurer — more than ready to face the board's challenges, whether it’s blitz wars or rapid duels. Expect surprises, epic comebacks, and a dash of mystery in every game!
