Chess Player Profile: rfland
Meet rfland, a resilient and spirited chess combatant who thrives in the chaotic battlefield of Rapid and Daily time controls. While not yet a grandmaster of the digital board, rfland's journey through the 64 squares is nothing short of a rollercoaster – full of unexpected turns, comebacks, and a fair share of "what just happened?!" moments.
Rating & Stats Snapshot
- Peak Rapid Rating: 1037 (January 2025) – modest, but with room to grow!
- Peak Daily Rating: An impressive 1172 (April 2025) – rfland’s personal Everest.
- Total Rapid Games: Over 300, with a win rate around 45%. Not bad for a player who sometimes trades seus and bishops like Halloween candy.
- Total Daily Games: A handful, showcasing steady improvement and tactical flair.
Playing Style & Personality
Known for an early resignation rate of 8.33%, rfland sometimes knows when to cut losses and grab the snacks. But don’t mistake that for lack of fighting spirit – with an impressive comeback rate of over 78%, this player is basically a phoenix rising from piles of blunders.
When it comes to openings, rfland enjoys the calm comfort of the Accelerated London System and has a decent 50% win rate there – a balanced warrior who respects the queen’s pawn. Their sharpest weapon? The Queens Pawn Opening Zukertort Chigorin Variation, boasting a spicy 66.67% win rate – that’s where the magic happens.
Tactical Trivia
White pieces are lucky: rfland wins 53.42% of games as White, proving the adage “White always wins” is somewhat true here.
Black pieces bring a bit more challenge: with a win rate closer to 38%, it seems rfland sometimes prefers to let others make the first moves… then strikes back.
Fun Facts & Quirks
- Longest winning streak: 6 games. The “on-fire” mode has clearly been activated before.
- Longest losing streak: 9 games. Because let’s be honest, chess is hard.
- Best time to play: 3:00 AM. A true nocturnal strategist who finds clarity when most are dreaming of checkers.
- Win rate by hour: Achieved a ridiculous 100% win rate at 3 AM (but maybe that’s just a lucky coincidence or a ghost opponent).
Latest Battles
Just recently, rfland claimed a sweet victory over chessnewbie12474 by resignation, proving patience and pressure pay off. On the flip side, a tough game against MatiasAraoz resulted in a loss, reminding us all that even the best have their off days.
In Summary
rfland might not have cracked the 2000+ elo barrier yet, but their perseverance, quirky playstyle, and love for a good opening theory definitely make them a formidable presence on the online chess scene. Expect aggressive middlegames, creative endgames, and the occasional tilt-induced questionable sacrifice. In short – chess with rfland is never boring.
