Rian RH28: The Chess Enigma
Known in the chess universe by the username rianrachmat28, Rian RH28 is a player who loves to keep opponents guessing—his opening strategy is a delightful "Top Secret," and apparently, he’s very good at keeping it that way with over 300 games played across Blitz, Rapid, and Bullet formats!
Since bursting onto the scene in 2021 with a Blitz rating of 924 and a Bullet rating of 800, Rian has shown both grit and flair. Although his Rapid rating has dipped a bit to 755 by 2025, his Blitz rating has soared to a respectable 1290 at peak—one would say he’s a tricky storm on the board, even if his average win rate hovers in the mid-40%s across time controls.
Fun fact: Rian’s longest winning streak is an impressive 10 games, proving that when he’s on fire, he’s nearly unstoppable. Though the current streak stands at zero (we’ve all had off days), he has a remarkable comeback rate close to 70% and a jaw-dropping 100% win rate after losing a piece—clearly, a master at turning the tide when the chips are down.
Rian’s playing style is a balanced blend of patience and tactical boldness, often engaging in lengthy endgames (averaging 53 moves per win!) and never afraid to resign early if the scariest of positions appear (early resignations at just 8.5%). He tends to perform slightly better with White, boasting a 45% win rate, but Black suits him just fine too (40%).
Some opponents have been tricky (looking at you, muss1us, tiboso45, and shivampurohit10 who’ve all managed clean sweeps against him), but Rian also boasts a perfect score against friendly foes like bill_da_best_baby and akosimike10. When playing on Fridays or Wednesdays, Rian’s win rate sneaks up near 45% to 60%, and his prime time seems to be around 19:00 with a win rate of over 60%—maybe that’s when he’s fueled by snacks and caffeine!
Despite a tilt factor of 7 (hey, who doesn’t get a bit flustered when the queen’s in danger?), Rian maintains a steady mental game and shows a mild preference for rated matches, winning a solid 5.5% more often compared to casual games.
In summary, Rian RH28 is the quintessential chess player with a little mystery, a dash of humor, and a big heart for fighting until the last move. Whether you’re his toughest rival or his next victim, expect a battle filled with unexpected turns and some serious "Top Secret" surprises.
