About robin3808

Meet robin3808, a relentless Rapid chess player riding the rollercoaster of ratings with a peak Rapid rating of 544 as of April 2025. Not exactly Magnus Carlsen, but hey, even grandmasters have humble beginnings! Robin has played over 260 Rapid games with a nearly perfect balance of wins and losses (134 wins, 132 losses) and a sprinkling of draws (6). Talk about living on the edge!

Opening Repertoire

Robin’s favorite battleground includes the King’s Pawn Opening and its sharper sibling, the King’s Knight Variation, boasting a respectable win rate of almost 58%. Robin also fancies the Scandinavian Defense Closed and the trusty Philidor Defense, where victories come just a bit more often than defeats — slightly better than flipping a coin, and a lot more fun. However, beware the Four Knights Game and the Leonardis Variation, where robin’s record suggests these openings might be the chess equivalent of stepping on a LEGO.

Playing Style and Psychology

Known to quit early in less than 3% of games, robin prefers to slog it out with an average of 44 moves per win and bruising 63 moves per loss — quite the marathoner in the endgame trenches. Blessed with a comeback success rate nearing 69%, this player never says die (unless the clock’s against them).

Fun fact: robin’s all-time best hour to play is 1 AM — perhaps inspired by a mix of caffeine and moonlight strategy. But beware the “tilt factor” of 14, which hints at some moments of frustration, because who doesn’t have those after a tough loss?

Quirky Stats & Memorable Moments

• Longest winning streak: 8 games — a lucky charm or sheer persistence?
• Longest losing streak: a humbling 14 games — proof that even the best have off days.
• Favorite day of week to crush opponents: Saturday, with an impressive 72% win rate. Weekend vibes for the win!
• Most feared opponents? ‘maxkune’ and ‘aaaddrr11’ have been no match, granting robin a flawless 100% win rate.

If chess games were stories

Robin’s latest victory was a nail-biter against “maxkune,” clinched by resignation after a fierce battle in the Pirc Defense. The opponent threw in the towel before robin’s pieces could fully crash the party.

On the flip side, the most recent defeat came against “Guitarmaster1” in a Caro-Kann Defense clash, where resignation was the last note after a tough endgame.

In Summary

robin3808 is the embodiment of chess zeal: unafraid to tread new openings, fearless under the moonlight, and ready to bounce back from losses with a grin (or at least a grim determination). Whether smashing weekend opponents or grinding out long endgames, robin’s journey is one of steady growth, inspired resilience, and maybe a few coffee breaks at 1 AM.
