Roxangel Obregón – Woman International Master Extraordinaire
Roxangel Obregón (famous in the chess cosmos as Rogarcia1) is a Woman International Master (WIM) who has taken the chessboards by storm with her tactical wizardry and unyielding spirit. Known for a mix of fierce competition and occasional playful unpredictability, she’s a player you can’t help but root for (or fear, if you're sitting across from her).
Rating Journey and Achievements
Since 2020, Roxangel has marched through the ranks with a Blitz peak rating soaring to an impressive 2520 in 2025, demonstrating unstoppable progress. Whether it’s blitz, rapid, or bullet, she’s no stranger to high-pressure play:
- Blitz: Max rating 2520, with a spicy average hovering around 2500 in recent years. A near 50% win rate keeps her opponents guessing.
- Rapid: A respectable rating peak near 2170, showing versatility and endurance in longer time controls.
- Bullet: Fast and furious, with a max rating of 2300, blazing through games often in under a minute.
Playing Style
Roxangel’s style is a cocktail of patience and fireworks. With an astonishing average of around 79 moves per win, she enjoys the long strategic battles, especially strong in endgames (engaging in them over 78% of her games!). She has an eye for comebacks with an 89% success rate after being behind — a true fighter never to be underestimated.
Her opening repertoire remains tantalizingly Top Secret, baffling opponents across over 350 games combined, boasting win rates of 46.5% in blitz and an even more impressive 53.4% in rapid.
Psychological Edge & Fun Facts
While Roxangel has a tilt factor of 11 (chess stress? Who isn’t guilty?), she bounces back quickly, especially after losing a piece — turning such moments into certain victories (100% win rate after losing a piece!). She’s been caught resigning a little early sometimes (8% early resignation rate), but hey, even champions have their off moments.
And here’s a fun tidbit: her win rate when playing white (51.38%) is noticeably stronger than playing black (42.16%), so maybe better “be the black pieces” if you ever face her...
Opponent Theater
Roxangel has squared off against a colorful cast of challengers and established a remarkable dominance against several, such as benwolfie9 (win rate 85.7%) and a perfect 100% win rate against many others from the chess underworld. Some opponents remain elusive though — looking at you, wpwpwp-2015 (0% win rate!) and chess94cu.
Summary
Whether blasting through 5-minute blitz or delving into deep endgames, Roxangel Obregón is a force in the chess world. Her journey reflects not just raw skill but resilience, strategic depth, and a bit of that magical “Top Secret” flair. Opponents beware: when Rogarcia1 is on the board, expect the unexpected and maybe keep an extra bunny rabbit handy for comfort!
Feedback for Roxangel Obregón
Roxangel, you've shown a strong and fighting spirit in your recent games, with several sharp tactical battles and good attacking ideas, especially in your openings and middlegames. Here are some focused points to help you improve further:
Strengths
- Opening preparation: You have a solid grasp of main opening principles and develop pieces actively. Your choice of moves such as early castling and timely pawn breaks show good understanding.
- Attacking play: You are comfortable initiating kingside attacks and exploiting weaknesses in your opponent’s position. Moves like Bh6 and pushing pawns to open lines demonstrate good attacking vision.
- Endgame awareness: In winning games, you showed good technique converting advantages, including precise rook maneuvers and pawn promotion efforts.
Areas for Improvement
- Time management: Some moments showed quick decisions leading to rushed errors (notably in complex positions). Practicing more deliberate calculation and incremental thinking during time pressure will help.
- Positional understanding: While your tactics are good, sometimes your piece coordination can be improved, particularly in closed positions or quiet moments where strategic maneuvers are needed.
- Defensive technique: In losses, some allow your opponent counterplay or penetration through minor inaccuracies. Strengthening your defense and patience when under attack is key.
- Tactical vigilance: Although mostly calculating well, avoid small oversights in critical middlegame moments by double-checking captures, checks, and threats before finalizing moves.
Suggestions for Training
- Review and annotate your losses, focusing on why you missed defensive resources or tactical shots.
- Practice endgame drills to sharpen your technique converting small advantages.
- Use puzzles to improve calculation depth and pattern recognition, especially spotting opponent threats.
- Work on time management by playing slower time controls in training to build confidence in deeper thinking.
Keep up the hard work and learning! Your fights are impressive and with targeted improvements, your performance will continue to grow.
Looking forward to your next games!
