Profile Summary: ROcky1807 (Riccardo Ostinelli)

Meet Riccardo Ostinelli, famously known by his chess alias ROcky1807, a rapid chess enthusiast whose journey has been a rollercoaster of wins, losses, draws, and tactical adventures. Always ready to lock horns on the 64 squares, Riccardo keeps it spicy with an adventurous opening repertoire – from the Grob Opening (yes, the Grob!) to the somewhat mysterious Clemenz and Kadas openings. Unconventional? Absolutely. Effective? Sometimes!

Riccardo's peak rapid rating of 731 (June 2021) is proof enough that he’s not just playing for fun – although his style suggests he also enjoys shaking things up and keeping his opponents on their toes. Whether it's a 3-game winning streak or a hard-fought comeback, ROcky1807 knows how to bounce back – boasting an impressive 71.4% comeback rate after losing material, showing resilience aplenty.

Strategy-wise, Riccardo averages around 36 moves per win, but don’t let that fool you—his losses tend to drag out, with an average of 89 moves, proving he’s a scrappy fighter who rarely gives up early. Checkmates are equally Et tu, brute? No! Riccardo has clinched multiple wins by satisfying checkmate, but also knows how to gracefully bow out with a few resignations (both in giving and receiving).

His temporal stats reveal that 12:00 PM is his golden hour, clocking an almost perfect 100% win rate at noon faster than you can say "check!". Weekdays like Monday and Tuesday offer a respectable 50% win rate, while Sundays appear to be his day of rest – or perhaps plotting revenge against opponents like Alberto230, whom he has faced ten epic battles and holds a solid 50% win ratio against.

If you fancy quirky openings with a punch, a fighting spirit, and an unpredictable clock, challenge ROcky1807. Just don’t expect him to stick to the beaten path. After all, why play safe when you can play fun?

For a quick taste of his style, check out his elegant checkmate victory over Alberto230 in the Queens Pawn Opening on June 3, 2021 – swift and precise like a true ROcky move.

Note: Riccardo's chess journey is peppered with an admirable balance of tenacity and humor, proving you can take the game seriously without losing your playful edge.
