Oluwaseun Adesiyan (Username: richjuve)
Meet Oluwaseun Adesiyan, a relentless chess warrior navigating the battlefield with the cunning of a fox and the patience of a saint. Known online as richjuve, Oluwaseun has amassed a mountain of experience in rapid chess, playing thousands of games and demonstrating a peak rapid rating of 1407 back in September 2021 — a number that may not topple grandmasters, but definitely intimidates casual opponents (and keyboard cows alike).
Chess Style & Strengths
Oluwaseun is a master of the endgame, with a sturdy Endgame Frequency of nearly 72%, proving that quick strikes are fine, but finishing moves really seal the deal. Don’t expect Oluwaseun to toss in the towel early either; with an Early Resignation Rate of just under 3%, this player fights to the last move, whether it's an 11-game winning streak or a humbling 12-game losing streak.
Tactical awareness is a highlight: a remarkable comeback rate of 78.9% shows a flair for bouncing back from tough spots, though with a ~44% win rate after losing a piece, there’s room for more diamond-polishing. Psychological resilience? Tilt factor is 12, which means the emotional roller coaster is real — but so is the resolve.
Favorite Openings
When it comes to openings, Oluwaseun likes to keep things top secret, playing this mysterious approach in over 7,999 rapid games with almost exactly even wins and losses (win rate about 47.5%). But don’t be fooled — the trusty Scotch Game is wielded with a comfortable winning edge (~54%). Other favorites include variations of the Sicilian Defense and the Queen’s Pawn Horwitz Defense, showing a willingness to battle both sharp tactical melees and strategic positional fights.
Recent Battles
Just recently, richjuve achieved a brilliant checkmate victory against ayokade in a Sicilian Defense battle, finishing with flair and precision (See the game). However, even heroes face setbacks — Oluwaseun has also experienced tough losses, like a hard-fought resignation to ayokade, reminding us all that in chess, as in life, every setback is a lesson.

The Personality Off the Board?
Between the moves, Oluwaseun might be plotting world domination chessboard by chessboard — or just scheduling a coffee break after an intense game. Patience, grit, and a willingness to fight on without early surrender describe the essence of this player. Always ready to bounce back, always learning, and sometimes losing with style.
