Ramy Elramly
aka ricoo1980
Meet Ramy Elramly, a relentless chess warrior whose journey on the 64 squares is as intriguing as his username suggests. Starting from humble beginnings with a blitz rating in the 900s back in 2014, Ramy’s determined progression has seen him climb up the ranks with a peak blitz rating of 1642 achieved on October 7, 2023. Not just a blitz enthusiast, his rapid play peaked impressively at 1786 in April 2024, proving that his skills aren’t limited to rapid-fire tactics alone.
Ramy’s opening repertoire is nothing if not adventurous. He exhibits a particular fondness for the Philidor Defense and the Sicilian Defense, often engaging opponents with both styles, amassing hundreds of games under his belt. His best win rates come from the Berlin Defense of the Bishop’s Opening in blitz (over 52%) and the Scandinavian Defense, where he boasts a solid 53.8% win rate. It seems Ramy values strategic positioning and loves a good positional tussle—it’s no surprise his games average about 72 moves per win, because who wants to rush victory when you can enjoy the chess battlefield?
Persistence is Ramy’s middle name — he has an astounding comeback rate of 84.67%, which means even if he stumbles, watch out! He’s the type who dusts off the defeat and comes back stronger, sometimes better than ever. Just who's that calm and collected player when most are tilting? That’s Ramy, with a low tilt factor of 18% and a keen psychological edge knowing his best time to pounce is around 7:00 AM. Early birds definitely catch the rook!
On the darker side, Ramy’s longest losing streak stands at a hefty 18 games, so perhaps a little caffeine and a fresh outlook before each battle goes a long way. His preferred time control? Blitz — because who doesn’t love a good deal of pressure and a ticking clock to spice up the drama?
And when it comes to rivals, Ramy has quite a few favorite nemeses and fans alike. From battling it out with hsnhafeez 48 times (with a winning rate just shy of 90%) to silly rivalry banter with yezzedin where wins are fewer, Ramy's chess journey is nothing but a rollercoaster of wit, skill, and lots of moves to spare. His most recent daily victory came from a neat resignation against xkylarusa, ensuring the king knows who’s boss with a series of precise moves in a tense battle lasting 89 moves.
Fun Fact:
Ramy's games do tend to stretch longer than your average speed chess match, averaging over 72 moves per win — because who said chess has to be quick? He enjoys savoring each move, much like a fine chess-themed cake: best served with a clever strategy and a sprinkle of creativity.
