Chess Player Profile: Revisor

Emerging on the competitive scene as early as 2016, Revisor has steadily forged a reputation for his incisive tactical awareness and dynamic playing style. Starting his career with a solid blitz performance around the 1980 mark, he quickly accelerated his ratings through consistent improvement in both rapid and blitz formats, reaching a peak blitz rating near 2897 by 2021.

Known for his calm yet fiercely competitive nature, Revisor combines deep positional understanding with a razor‐sharp tactical instinct. His win–loss‐draw records across different time controls illustrate a player who is not only proficient in blitz battles but also equally competent in rapid and bullet rounds. His opening repertoire spans a remarkable variety of defenses and counterattacks—from Scandinavian structures to intricate English and Caro–Kann systems—underscoring his adaptability and thorough preparation.

Revisor’s playing style reflects discipline and endurance. With an impressive longest winning streak of 106 games and an early resignation rate of just over one percent, he demonstrates both patience and precision, rarely conceding chances even in complex endgame positions. His average move counts, which tend to be around 73 moves in wins and slightly longer in losses, further highlight his measured approach and readiness to steer the game into favorable waters.

Beyond raw calculation, his mental fortitude is noteworthy. A comeback rate of 87% and the ability to convert positions even after material disadvantage are testaments to his resilience and psychological strength. Revisor’s performance peaks not only on the board but also by the hour, with win rates soaring during early morning hours and maintaining a strong overall performance throughout the week.

His annual rating progression paints a picture of steady advancement, and his achievements in multiple formats—blitz, rapid, and bullet—illustrate a well-rounded mastery of the game. Whether donning the white pieces or defending black, his win percentages remain high, a reflection of his versatility and commitment to continuous improvement.

In summary, Revisor is a formidable competitor whose blend of tactical flair, strategic depth, and consistent performance across all time controls makes him one of the most dynamic and respected players in today’s chess universe.

Hi Alexey, here’s some constructive feedback based on your recent games.

What you’re doing well

  • Opening preparation: Your results with the English Opening are excellent. Games against gianthall2006 and alpha_zero_thedestroyer show confident use of typical ideas such as early c4-cxd5 and pressuring the d5 pawn.
  • Piece activity: You consistently find strong knight outposts (e.g. Nd6, Nxb5). This keeps the initiative and often forces errors.
  • Tactical alertness: In the win over Pablo_dmp, you converted material with precise combinations, highlighting sharp calculation skills.

Areas to focus on next

  • Time management in Daily chess: Two of your recent losses were on time (vs. globerortc, garymagnusethan). Even a 30-second daily check-in to make a single safe move would have saved those games. Set a daily reminder and use an opening draft board to prepare lines in advance.
  • Kingside pawn pushes: In multiple blitz wins you advanced g- and h-pawns aggressively. While it worked, the abandoned game against averagetraxlerenjoyer shows how exposed this can leave your king. Before pushing, ask, “If I trade queens now, is my king safer or weaker?”—a good blunder-check habit.
  • Endgame conversion: In the abandoned Sicilian (…Kd7, …a6) you reached a better knight ending but drifted. Study a set of 10 basic knight-pawn endings; knowing the drawing and winning zones will add 30-40 rating points quickly.

Targeted training plan

  1. 30-minute weekly review: Every Sunday open . Notice which days the graph dips and schedule tactical training just before those sessions.
  2. Mini-repertoire tune-up: Add one solid reply to 1.e4 (recommend the …e5 family) so you’re not forced into early …d6/d5 structures that feel passive.
  3. Endgame sprint: Solve 5 knight vs. pawn studies; then replay Capablanca’s Rd1-d7 classics. Aim for 90 % accuracy on these drills.
  4. Mindful blitz: Play two 5 + 3 games a day, limiting yourself to three pawn moves before move 10. This curbs over-extension and reinforces piece development principles.

Motivational takeaway

You’re already scoring convincing tactical wins against 2200–2300 opponents. Tighten your clock discipline and endgame technique, and you’ll be pushing 2600 in no time. Keep up the focused work!
