Playing Style & Stats
Reo's chess approach could be described as "brave but sometimes hasty." With an early resignation rate of nearly 15%, it seems conceding defeat quickly can be part of the strategy... or simply a reaction to frustration (hello, tilt factor of 9)! On the bright side, an endgame frequency of 43% shows Reo does enjoy the sweet struggle of closing matches.
White pieces bring a 37% chance of victory, while playing Black bumps that up to about 44%—clearly, Reo’s a master of the dark squares! Comebacks are a highlight too, with a nearly 61% turnaround rate after losing a piece. Never count Reo out, because sometimes it’s not over until the kings dance their last.
Openings: An Adventurous Palette
Reo loves to keep opponents on their toes, dabbling in some unorthodox openings. Favorites include the Alekhine's Defense where Reo boasts a 60%+ win rate in Rapid, and the Philidor Defense, which has brought a perfect 100% success in Daily games. Bird's Opening, though, is more of a 30% gamble—true to Reo’s adventurous spirit.
Streaks & Memorable Matches
Lasting streaks? Reo once conquered a seven-game winning streak (impressive!), but also endured a gut-wrenching nine-game losing streak—chess is a cruel but fair mistress. Currently, Reo is itching for that next win, with a two-game losing streak to shake off.

- Less glorious moments like the May 18, 2025, loss to aydo1972, suffering defeat on time—but hey, everyone hits the clock trap sometimes!

In Reo’s Own Words (Hypothetical)
"I don’t always win, but when I do, it’s usually against the odds... or because my opponent blundered. Chess is life’s way of teaching patience... or testing it relentlessly!"
