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!
