REVOX-TV: The Chessboard Trickster

Meet REVOX-TV, a rapid chess warrior whose rating has seen wild adventures, from a humble 107 up to a respectable 381, settling lately around the 219 mark in 2025. With a passion for the rapid format, they've played over 120 games, winning 50—because sometimes it's more fun to keep us guessing rather than dominate relentlessly (64 losses and 8 draws remind us all of humility!).

A tactical magician, REVOX-TV never gives up easily — boasting an impressive 40% comeback rate and a 100% win rate when down a piece. Endgames? They dive in over half the time, proving patience is a secret weapon: their wins typically wrap up in around 41 moves, while losses tend to drag on into an epic 56 moves, as if refusing to concede without a spirited fight.

When it comes to openings, REVOX-TV loves to lead with the King's Pawn and Queen's Pawn openings, dabbling in some spicy gambits like the Englund Gambit (winning half the time!) and crushing opponents in the French Defense variants with a dazzling 75% success rate. The Van 't Kruijs Opening, however, seems to be their Achilles' heel with zero wins—everyone has a favorite nemesis move.

Playing style? Expect some quick surrenders here and there (7.8% early resignation rate), but mostly a player who battles in the trenches with a balanced approach—winning more often with White than Black, but always bringing intense psychological grit to the board. Their tilt factor is a manageable 7; a minor hiccup in an otherwise steady mindset (40.98% better in rated matches than casual ones!).

Timing is key for REVOX-TV, who is unbeatable on Thursdays (a 70% win rate) and downright savage in evenings, hitting a perfect hundred percent win rate in the 16:00, 17:00, and 19:00 hours—because clearly, that’s when their chess brain is partying hardest.

Friend or foe, REVOX-TV has a love-hate record with regular opponents. They beat smaiferer 100% of the times met but get shut out cold by sselym. Mischievous enough to abandon games mid-battle to snatch victory, REVOX-TV doesn’t shy from surprising finishes, including a memorable checkmate with a knight on Na7# in May 2025.

So, whether you encounter REVOX-TV on the board or just watch their games on stream, expect unpredictable tactics, occasional stubborn fights, and a player who truly embodies the rollercoaster joy that is rapid chess.
