Rolan Avergonzado - The Relentless RolanAver
Meet Rolan Avergonzado, also known in the chess realms as RolanAver, a rapid and blitz player who battles the 64 squares with a mix of dogged determination, tactical grit, and occasionally, a bit of mischief.
Rating Rollercoaster
Over the years, Rolan's rapid rating has danced impressively between around 1100 to a peak of 1471 as of April 2025, showing steady improvement and stubborn resilience. Blitz has offered a different rhythm, with a historic peak of 1369 back in 2018. While the numbers may not quite scream "grandmaster," Rolan's battlefield is no less fierce.
Playing Style & Personality
With an early resignation rate of just 1.27%, Rolan clearly doesn’t give up easily—no surrender without a fight! An impressive 71% frequency of endgames shows a player who loves to grind it out, often dragging opponents into long, dramatic duels. Average moves per win hover around 66, while losses tend to last about 79 moves, proving that even defeat is a marathon.
Black pieces tend to be Rolan’s playground for sly victories, boasting a slightly better win percentage (51.64%) compared to White (44.72%). Maybe it's the classic "underdog in the dark" strategy, or maybe Rolan just likes a good challenge from the shadows.
Tactical Awareness & Psychological Edge
Rolan has a knack for comebacks, with a 59% success rate bouncing back after losing material—because giving up pieces is just part of the game, right? And although recovering from losing a piece isn't always victorious (39% win rate), it’s clear Rolan refuses to sulk in the corner.
A modest tilt factor of 9 suggests Rolan occasionally grumbles at the board, but mostly keeps calm under pressure. The secret weapon? Playing at midnight, where a stunning 75% win chance lies, presumably fueled by caffeine, moonlight, or sheer stubbornness.
Notable Records & Rivalries
A veteran of nearly 2,300 rapid games and around 720 blitz battles, Rolan has chalked up wins and losses almost evenly (1062 wins to 1011 losses in rapid). When it comes to openings, the "Unknown Opening" strategy yields a respectable ~49% win rate — a true master of mystery.
Among Rolan's favorite sparring partners: eraserheads19 (13 games), gadgaard2893 and viratsaroj (11 games each). Win rates against these familiar foes range from challenging (~30% vs. eraserheads19) to downright spicy, proving every match could go either way.
Recent Match Highlights
On May 19, 2025, Rolan sealed a spectacular checkmate victory against praneethate in a King's Pawn Opening — a true display of strategic prowess and patience, culminating in a neat checkmate after a tactical juggle lasting 32 moves.
Of course, like any mortal chess hero, losses come along too—recent defeat by ina222111 via checkmate reminds us that even the most relentless warriors face their dragons.
Chess in a Nutshell
If you picture a chess player as a mixture between a battle-hardened gladiator and a midnight strategist fueled by caffeine and stubborn resolve, you've got a pretty good idea of Rolan. From opening bluffs to gritty endgame scrambles, RolanAver leaves no stone unturned—even if the path to victory is occasionally littered with casualties (and the odd tilt).
So here’s to Rolan Avergonzado: a player who never stops learning, never stops battling, and never forgets to keep a sense of humor about the royal game.
