Robert Ris - International Master of Chess

Meet Robert Ris, a chess International Master who doesn't just play chess — he practically dances with it on the board. With a blitz rating soaring up to 2815 in recent years, Robert strikes faster than a caffeinated knight, amassing thousands of games (over 10,000 blitz games alone!) and a win rate over 54% in blitz. Talk about stamina and speed!

Robert’s style isn't your “quitter at the first threat” type — with an early resignation rate of just 1.19%, he’s a fighter from the opening move to the well-fought endgame, which appears in nearly 79% of his games. A comeback wizard, Robert bounces back after losses with a jaw-dropping 100% win rate after losing a piece. That's resilience you can bet your rook on!

Whether wielding the white pieces (where he wins nearly 58% of the time) or taking on the black side (with over 51% wins), Robert’s games often stretch to around 77 moves, proving he's not one for quickies – he’s in it for the long intellectual ride.

When it comes to bullet chess, Robert’s lightning reflexes shine with a max rating of 2355 and an impressive 66% win rate, showing he can handle pressure like a true speed demon. But don’t ask him to play daily chess — he only dabbles there, with just a handful of games.

Off the board, Robert is a bit of an enigma – his “Top Secret” opening repertoire is as mysterious as a grandmaster’s poker face, consistently scoring great win rates across all time controls. He’s danced with thousands of opponents, from casual upstarts to stalwart veterans, and always brings his A-game.

Fun fact: Robert’s psychological tilt factor is 7, which means he probably gets a little annoyed losing but quickly regains his cool. And with the longest winning streak of 19 games, there’s no doubt when he’s in the zone, he’s nearly unstoppable.

In summary: Robert Ris is that rare blend of speed, endurance, tactical brilliance, and mental toughness who keeps chess exciting—and maybe makes us all want to try resigning a little later.
So beware, chess boards everywhere, Robert is always ready for the next challenge!
