Biography of Chess Player: robertkuk

Meet robertkuk, a resilient chess warrior whose journey through the 64 squares has been a saga of epic battles, thousands of brainteasers, and a healthy dose of both triumph and humility. Known for embracing the Rapid format like it’s a lightning storm, robertkuk has experienced a rollercoaster ride of ratings, peaking impressively at 622 in March 2021, and recently holding steady around the 300s.

Playing Style

This player’s style can be summed up as a blend of calculated strategy and brave tactical forays. With a slightly higher win rate when playing white (about 50%) compared to black (44%), robertkuk prefers to open the dance with the King’s Pawn Opening - Leonardis Variation, holding a respectable 50.3% win rate over 165 games. Some might say it’s a favorite dance move on the chessboard, while others just nod in awe and fear.

Despite a healthy dose of losses, robertkuk never surrenders early, demonstrated by a modest early resignation rate of 15.85%. Each game averages nearly 59 moves for wins — patience is clearly a virtue here, or maybe just a stubborn refusal to give up!

  • Total Rapid Games Played: 586
  • Wins vs Losses in Rapid: 277 Wins | 280 Losses | 29 Draws
  • Longest Winning Streak: 9 games (Yes, the stars aligned!)
  • Current Losing Streak: 5 games (Keep that chin up, it happens to the best!)

Time and Moment

You know the best time to challenge robertkuk? Around 12:00 PM, when the mind is sharpest and the coffee has kicked in. Avoid evenings if you want to toy with fate, as win rates dip slightly there.

Psychological Edge

robertkuk’s comeback rate is an astonishing 65.7% — proving that when the chips are down, this player bites back harder than a grandmaster’s trap. However, the tilt factor of 6 suggests that sometimes things get spicy after some tough losses. But who doesn’t love a good drama in chess?

Memorable Games

One of the most recent nail-biters was against jayakumarmalla, where robertkuk sealed victory by resignation after a keen battle in the King’s Pawn Opening - Kings Knight Variation.

And like every chess hero, not every tale was of glory. A hard-fought checkmate loss against brainnotitalia reminded that even warriors rest and come back stronger!

Winning Against “Unlikely” Opponents

Interestingly, robertkuk sports a perfect 100% win record against a surprising number of players like jayakumarmalla, neilrichter, and fluffyocean10. Clearly, when robertkuk spots toastable opponents, the blunder-free blitzkrieg begins!

Final Thought

Whether you’re a casual flicker or a button-mashing bullet fanatic, robertkuk embodies the spirit of chess – persistence, strategy, and a pinch of unpredictability. With moves that weave through defenses and attacks that could rival a chess drama, this player is always worth the watch.

So next time you face robertkuk, bring your best game... and maybe a lucky rabbit’s foot!
