Riospm is a dedicated chess competitor whose journey began in 2016, when early forays into Bullet chess quickly evolved into a passion for high-paced play. Known for steadily pushing past intermediate ratings, they rose from initial mid-1300s to peak above 2400+ in Bullet, blazing a trail marked by fearless attacking openings such as various Sicilian Defenses and French Defense set-ups.
While Bullet remains a favorite battleground, Blitz has become Riospm’s primary arena. They have notched thousands of games, reaching ratings over 2500. Their style is fearless and inventive, as evidenced by their high comeback rate (over 80%), consistently turning sharp positions around and thriving in complex middlegames. Despite playing at a quick tempo, Riospm also shows strong endgame prowess—over three quarters of their wins extend deep into the final phase.
Riospm’s opening repertoire is broad: Sicilian Najdorfs and Scheveningens feature prominently, accompanied by a taste for the French Defense when faced with 1.e4. Steady improvements in Rapid (with a peak above 2300) and reliable performances in Daily matches highlight the depth of their chess understanding. They have cultivated a balanced style, showcasing both tactical aggression and positional maneuvering.
Their record also features a notable psychological resilience, overcoming lost positions and rarely succumbing to tilt. This metal-tough approach, paired with consistent refinement of technique, positions Riospm as both a formidable opponent and a continuous student of the game, intent on scaling ever higher rating plateaus.
