Regan M. Ligaray (re12gan3) - The Tenacious Tactician
Meet Regan M. Ligaray, known in the chess realm as re12gan3, a player whose rating journey resembles a thrilling rollercoaster - but with fewer loops and more checkmates. Starting from humble beginnings in 2023 with modest Blitz, Bullet, and Rapid ratings hovering around 500-800, Regan embarked on a rapid rise to the promising 1300s and beyond by 2025. This growth is almost as impressive as their capacity to maintain an undefeated win rate after losing a piece – a staggering 100%! It's no wonder opponents often find Regan a formidable foe.
Playing Style & Psychological Strengths
Known for a calculated and strategic approach, Regan averages nearly 61 moves per victory, proving patience is indeed a virtue. Even when defeat comes knocking, games tend to last longer than most, with about 73 moves on average per loss – because giving up early isn't in Regan's vocabulary. On the psychological battlefield, a Tilt Factor of only 11 means Regan keeps calm under pressure, although a curious twist appears in the negative difference between rated and casual wins, suggesting Regan plays their best under the limelight (or maybe just hates casuals).

- Comeback King: A comeback rate of over 77%, showing Regan doesn't just play chess - they fight like a phoenix rising from the ashes.

When to Challenge Regan?
If you dare to usurp Regan from the throne, pick your hour wisely! Early mornings around 0 to 4 AM seem to be golden hours to catch Regan, boasting win rates above 50%.
