Grandmaster o (aka rn2)
Meet o, a chess Grandmaster with a flair for bullet and blitz games that would make even the staunchest marathoner gasp for breath. Rated in the high 2000s for bullet and over 2200 in blitz, o is no stranger to speed and precision — lightning-fast reflexes combined with tactical wizardry have earned them serious respect on the 64 squares.
Career Highlights & Playing Style
O’s chess journey is like a rollercoaster of epic battles: a peak bullet rating of 2517 in July 2011 and a blitz peak of 2211 only a month earlier. With a whopping 72.6% bullet win rate playing the elusive "Top Secret" opening, o’s opponents can’t help but wonder what’s happening until it's checkmate—and often, by move 30 (or less).
Known for a low early resignation rate (under 1%), o usually fights til the board cracks. Their average winning games extend beyond 79 moves, demonstrating both stamina and a love for thrilling endgames—no quick draws here! Win rates are delightfully balanced whether playing White (65.8%) or Black (67.7%), proving versatility across the battlefield.
Tactical Wizardry & Psychology
Their 89.7% comeback rate and a 66.1% win chance after losing a piece confirm o's knack for turning the tables—chess is never over until it’s over. Tilt factor is impressively low at 10, indicating a calm, collected mind even in stressful moments. And if you want to catch o at their absolute best? 5 AM games are the secret sauce to success.
On-the-Clock and Off-the-Clock
When the clock ticks down, o shines brightest, especially in bullet where fast decisions matter most. They hold an extraordinary record of 237 wins by timeout, proving that sometimes just managing time beats managing tactics. With a longest winning streak of 18 games, o knows how to build momentum and ride it — until the inevitable loss (the longest streak was 10, because hey, even grandmasters have off days).
Memorable Match
In a recent notable victory, o outmaneuvered a 2200+ opponent through a tangled Benoni Defense, slipping into a winning endgame that forced resignation by move 70. The game was a masterclass in patience and precision, and a reminder: underestimate this Grandmaster at your own peril.

Game Review and Feedback for Your Play
You've shown solid understanding and determination in your recent games. Here are some key points to help you improve further:
- Opening Play: Your openings like the English Opening and Bishop's Opening showed good principle adherence—developing pieces actively and controlling the center.
- Piece Coordination: You demonstrated good coordination in the middlegame, especially when launching attacks on your opponent's structure. Continue to work on smooth piece development and avoid premature pawn pushes that may create weaknesses.
- Pawn Structure: In some games, pawn pushes like ...f5 or ...g4 led to doubled or isolated pawns, which your opponents exploited. Try to evaluate pawn moves more carefully, focusing on maintaining a solid and flexible structure.
- Endgame Technique: Your endgame play, including king activity and pawn advancement, was effective. Keep building on this by practicing common endgame patterns and sharpening your calculation.
- Time Management: You managed your time well across the games, not rushing critical moves. Maintaining this discipline is crucial, especially in rapid games.
Areas to focus on for improvement:
- Watch for tactical shots from your opponent, especially around the central files and diagonals, as a few tactics led to material loss.
- Be cautious with exchanges when you are slightly behind in development or position; sometimes delaying exchanges can be beneficial.
- Analyze critical moments in your losses to understand where an alternative plan or defense could have improved your position.
Overall, your progress is very promising. Keep reviewing your games, focusing on understanding key moments, and practicing tactics regularly.
