RockyS87: The Resilient Rapid Warrior

Meet RockyS87, a rapid chess battler whose rating dances gracefully around the 800-900 mark, with a peak just shy of 990. Not quite Magnus, but definitely the Rocky Balboa of online chess—tough, persistent, and never afraid to take a punch or dish one out.

Journey Through the Rapid Ranks

Starting in 2022 with an average performance that hovered around 830, Rocky quickly gained traction in 2023, rocking a 868 average over 318 games! A brief dip in 2024 has taken the rating back to 838, but if Rocky’s longest winning streak of 8 games tells us anything, a comeback is always possible. (Side note: nobody beats Rocky easily twice in a row.)

Win-Loss Saga

With a balanced record of 195 wins and 195 losses, plus a handful of draws, RockyS87 embodies the perfect chess yin-yang. When the chips are down, Rocky’s tactical awareness shines—the comeback rate is an impressive 66%, and once Rocky loses a piece, opponents might as well pack up: 100% win rate after losing material. Talk about turning lemons into chess lemonade!

Playing Style & Quirks

• Known for a calm endgame prowess, engaging in the last 50+ moves frequently, proving stamina is Rocky’s middle name.
• White pieces see a 47.76% win rate, but watch out when Rocky’s playing Black—with a 49.01% win rate, the dark side is definitely strong here.
• Early resignation is rare at just over 5%, proving Rocky believes in fighting until the last knight falls.
• Tilt factor is moderate (8), so when things go south, Rocky takes it like a champ—or at least with a bruised ego.

Time & Opponent Patterns

If you want to challenge Rocky, Thursday to Friday are the prime days, boasting win rates north of 48%. Peak chess hours? 3 PM to 6 PM, with a near 60% sweet spot at 3 PM. (Mornings and early hours? Eh, Rocky might still be waking up.)

Some opponents rock Rocky’s boat (andrey121987 and dimiwan1843 have 0% success), while others have narrowly escaped defeat—for instance, the much-debated rivalry with diegoferfull98 sits at a stingy 37.5% win rate for Rocky.

A Secret Opening Master

613 total rapid games played using an impenetrable "Top Secret" opening (okay, 403 officially recorded here) with a near-50% win rate. Whatever Rocky’s cooking in the opening moves, it’s clearly been rehearsed and refined to keep opponents guessing.

Final Thoughts

RockyS87 isn’t just about winning — it’s about showing up, battling hard, and sometimes losing with grace before plotting a spectacular comeback. Chess may be a game of kings, but with Rocky around, it’s also a game of grit, humor, and the occasional sneaky trap.
