rifqi_r

Profile Summary: rifqi_r

Meet rifqi_r, the blitz maestro with a curious mix of tactical flair and the occasional graceful resignation (early, but honorable at 6.5% of games). With a peak blitz rating of 731 achieved in January 2025, rifqi_r has proven to be a formidable opponent in fast-paced games.

Not just a one-trick pony, rifqi_r enjoys a diverse repertoire of openings — from the sly Birds Opening Dutch Variation (a near 50/50 battleground) to the more adventurous Dutch Defense boasting a solid 58% win rate in blitz. Their preferred time control? Blitz, where quick thinking and quicker moves are the name of the game.

When rifqi_r faces the board, strategy meets spontaneity. With an average of about 53 moves per victory, patience is a virtue, but they’re quick to capitalize on early chances, capturing first pieces around move 6.5. The comeback factor is strong too — with a remarkable 78% success rate at clawing back after going down a piece, rifqi_r is the eventual nightmare of any opponent who thinks an early lead seals the deal.

Psychologically, rifqi_r has a tilt factor of 13 (a modest frown), but shines brightest around 5 PM — the perfect hour to unleash tactical prowess. Not bad for someone who sometimes prefers to call it quits early, only to surprise with a checkmate 534 times in blitz battles.

Off the clock but still on the board, rifqi_r’s win-loss record reveals a fierce competitive spirit: over 1,200 blitz wins balanced by a near-equal number of losses, making every game a nail-biter. Expect draws to be a rare peace treaty — only about 34 out of thousands of games.

The Birds Opening seems to be a trusty steed, winning over 56% of the time — though the Van t Kruijs Opening isn’t far behind with a respectable 55%. Meanwhile, the Scandinavian Defensive Mieses Kotrc Variation appears to be the thorn in rifqi_r’s side, with a challenging 30% win rate.

Recent battles have been no less exciting. Notably, rifqi_r clinched victory by time out against nabil1001 in a French Defense Advance-Paulsen Attack, proving that sometimes, endurance does win the race. Rifqi_r is no stranger to the bird-themed birds, winning fiercely with the birds%20opening and even better with the birds%20opening%20froms%20gambit in recent games.

Always eager for a rematch or a new challenge, rifqi_r's opponents include familiar faces like sirmalcolmjc and espon70, proving that some players just keep coming back for more.
