Meet risoso: The Enigmatic Chess Adventurer

If chess ratings were a rollercoaster, risoso’s journey would be the ultimate thrill ride. Starting strong in 2020 with a Bullet rating peaking at 1637 and a rapid rating waving between 1226 and 1600, this player has had their share of ups and downs—mostly ups, if you squint hard enough!

risoso's style? Let’s just say patience isn’t the highest virtue in their playbook. With an Early Resignation Rate of just under 9%, they’re tough enough to stick around for the 56 moves it takes on average to clinch a win, but they also know when to call it quits (or dramatically surrender). Their games often dive deep into endgames, with a hearty 57% of battles stretching to the final acts.

Comebacks are risoso’s forte — they boast a stunning 68% comeback rate and a perfect 100% win rate after losing a piece. It's like watching a chess phoenix rise from the ashes, except sometimes the ashes are plenty because of that 13% rate of one-sided losses. You win some, you lose some… and risoso loses some big.

Their favorite opening is marked as “Top Secret,” but with over 300 games and nearly 45% wins in Rapid alone, this mystery move definitely packs a punch. Blizzard and bullet modes are less familiar terrain, with only a handful of games logged and modest results, maybe hinting risoso’s main battlefield is the slower rapid rounds where intricate plans unfold.

risoso seems to love playing midweek evenings and Sunday afternoons, shining brightest around 11 am and 7 pm—prime times for both finely-honed attacks and some casual blunders. White pieces yield the strongest winning edge, with just over 50% success rate, while black pieces bring a respectable 40% fight back.

If you ask risoso’s most frequent opponents—like adamusso5, who has a 75% win rate against them—they might disagree about how unstoppable risoso really is. But keep in mind, this player holds 100% win records against a quirky stash of others with hard-to-pronounce usernames. So it all balances out.

Currently riding a 1-game winning streak and with a career full of nearly 330 rapid games, risoso is the perfect homage to chess for mortals: flawed, unpredictable, yet fiercely passionate. They remind us all that the game isn’t just about the rating—sometimes it’s about the adventure and the stories behind each move.

Stay tuned—each match risoso plays is another chapter in this delightfully unpredictable chess saga.
