Player Profile: Reitergg

Meet Reitergg, a chess adventurer navigating the wild and wonderful world of online blitz, rapid, bullet, and daily games. Known for fiery comebacks (boasting a comeback rate of nearly 72%), this player proves that even after losing a piece, there’s still a fight left in the tank. Reitergg’s games often stretch into epic battles, averaging around 52 moves for wins—clearly someone who doesn’t believe in quick checkmates or easy resignations (though early resignations occasionally sneak in about 10% of the time).

Rating Rollercoaster

Reitergg’s peak ratings are quite impressive across formats:

• Blitz: 383 (May 2025)
• Rapid: 347 (March 2025)
• Bullet: a blazing 646 (April 2025) — yes, really, 646!
• Daily: a solid 400 rating (April 2025)

Though the bullet rating took a slight dip recently, it’s still an awe-inspiring speed demon level — maybe the Fast and the Furious of chess.

Opening Moves & Favorite Gambits

Reitergg has a favorite arsenal of openings, played with varying success:

• King’s Pawn Opening - King’s Knight Variation: An impressive win rate of around 78% in blitz, suggesting some serious mastery and cunning.
• Bishop’s Opening Berlin Defense: An undefeated streak at 100% wins across four blitz games. Could someone be a Berlin aficionado?
• Englund Gambit: A mixed bag with about 43% wins in blitz, but a very respectable 60% rapid win rate — clearly something Reitergg enjoys trying, even if it’s a bit risky.
• Less successful adventures include the Three Knights Opening, which so far has resulted in zero wins. Hey, even grandmasters have their kryptonite!

Game Style & Psychology

Preferring a solid endgame approach, Reitergg plays deep into the game over half the time. Early mornings, especially around 7 AM, seem to be their prime tactical window—so if you’re facing them, consider whether your coffee’s kicked in yet. With a tilt factor sitting comfortably low at 6, Reitergg is clearly not one to let a few loses ruin the mood.

Their win rates are close regardless of whether they play White or Black (around 46% and 45% respectively), proving they don’t just rely on the first move advantage. Interestingly, Reitergg handles pressure with a fair number of draws and resigns at about equal rates when in winning or losing positions — a balanced mix of fighting spirit and prudence.

Notable Recent Games

Reitergg’s latest triumph was a thrilling checkmate victory using the Englund Gambit, showcasing tactical sharpness and a killer instinct on May 30, 2025. However, not every day shines equally, as defeats also came by checkmate on the same opening, reminding us of chess's humbling nature.

Reitergg's opponents range from longtime rivals like shshhshs014 (with a solid 65% win rate) to recent conquerors like teteuleal655, who managed to snatch a win in a nail-biter.

Whether blitzing at lightning speed or grinding through a daily game, Reitergg’s chess journey is marked by passion, occasional unpredictability, and a drive to improve — a true enthusiast in the royal game’s kingdom.
