Samy Robin - The FIDE Master Who Turns Pawns into Punchlines

Known in chess circles by the intriguing username Robin-Side, Samy Robin is no ordinary player. Having earned the prestigious FIDE Master title, Samy has demonstrated a blend of tactical brilliance and a dash of mischievous creativity on the board. A player whose rating journey reads like a rollercoaster—with steady climbs, occasional dips, and a thrilling dash to a peak Bullet rating of 2701 in early 2023.

Starting out with a modest Daily rating of 800 in 2017 (not for long, though—Samy quickly packed a perfect score of wins without losses), Samy rapidly escalated their skills, breaking 2000 in Daily chess by 2020 and holding strong since. Their Blitz and Bullet games are where the real fireworks happen: with a Blitz peak over 2650 and a Bullet peak climbing to the almost mythical 2701, Samy mixes speed and precision like a grandmaster chef crafting the perfect chess soufflé.

But it’s not all cold calculations—Samy exhibits a psychological resilience famous among titans of the game, boasting a remarkable 74% comeback rate after adversity strikes and managing to keep tilt factors admirably low. And if you wonder when to challenge Samy, early mornings are prime battleground hours (6 AM is their chess sweet spot), although don’t be fooled: Samy is ready to pounce any hour, with perfect 100% win rates recorded at 5, 6, and 7 AM on the dot.

Samy’s style? Patient yet sharp. With over 70% game endings progressing to endgames and an average of nearly 69 moves before victory in wins, this player enjoys the marathon, savoring each tactical nuance. Their favorite opening, cunningly dubbed "Top Secret," keeps opponents guessing and yields a near 96% win rate in Daily games—proof that a bit of mystery goes a long way.

Fans, beware: Robin-Side's record against some notable opponents tournaments reads like a hero’s journey—decisive victories against longtime rivals such as saganista and thevertmenthe with win rates soaring above 95%, and a knack for outwitting even those rated above them. And yes, the player’s database also includes an impressive collection of dramatic wins where resignation, timeout, and checkmate have all delivered flamboyant finales.

Most recent triumphs include a fierce battle in the Caro-Kann Defense, where Samy’s strategic patience forced their opponent to throw in the towel after 25 intense moves. But as every chess warrior knows, even the sharpest blade occasionally encounters the whetstone—Samy also has tasted the sting of defeat, learning and growing with every checkmate absorbed.

In summary, Samy Robin is a formidable FIDE Master whose chess profile reads like a thrilling saga of persistence, skill, and a sprinkle of humor. Whether in Bullet, Blitz, Rapid, or Daily chess realms, they command respect, inspire awe, and keep fans guessing: What’s the secret behind 'Top Secret'?

Keep an eye on Robin-Side—because in the kingdom of 64 squares, they’re always ready for a fresh adventure.
