Ray Robson - Grandmaster Extraordinaire

Ray Robson is not just your average chess player; he's a Grandmaster who treats the 64 squares like his personal playground. Born to calculate, destined to dominate, Ray has earned his stripes from FIDE and the respect of chess enthusiasts worldwide. Known for his strategic brilliance and a penchant for tactical fireworks, he doesn't just play chess—he performs it.

With peak blitz ratings soaring to an impressive 2899 and bullet scores that can touch 2859, Ray is no stranger to fast-paced carnage. His rapid rating peaked at 2796, showing he's equally adept when the clock ticks a bit slower. Known for an average win game-length of 74 moves and a comeback rate of over 80%, Ray’s style blends patience, precision, and resilience. White pieces favor him with a 61% win rate, but don't discount his black pieces—it’s still a strong 54%.

Fierce Competitor & Winning Streaks

With a longest winning streak of 18 games, Ray has proven to be a relentless competitor. He currently enjoys a six-game win streak, keeping his opponents on their toes. But like any legend, there's a humble side: his longest losing streak stands modestly at 6 games, showing even the best have their challenges.

Mind Games & Timing

With a tilt factor of just 6 (for those who don’t speak chess psychology, that’s basically zen mode), Ray thrives best around 4 PM—talk about peak brain power timing! His best win chances come on Mondays, where he boasts nearly a 65% win rate. Early mornings might find others sipping coffee; Ray is already planning his next knockout move.

Secret Weapons

Ray’s preferred openings remain top secret to keep his rivals guessing, but his record speaks volumes: over 60% win rate in blitz games and a solid 52% in bullet matches. Opponents beware, this Grandmaster knows how to keep the initiative!

Recent Battles

In his latest triumph against "Gryffindor92," Ray sealed victory by checkmate in a thrilling Indian Game, showing once again why resignations aren’t necessary when you've got a lethal attack. Even when he loses, the games are battles of wits and endurance proving he's always in control—even down to the last second.

Fun Fact

Ray’s comeback rate after losing a piece is an impressive 54.8%—which means if you snag a piece from him, don’t celebrate just yet. This Grandmaster enjoys turning the tables and savoring those glorious comeback moments.

In the marvelous world of chess, Ray Robson stands as a beacon of determination, skill, and a subtle touch of good humor—because if you can’t laugh after losing your queen, what’s the fun in it?
