Profile Summary: romalos
Meet romalos, a chess player who’s been tangoing with tactics and waltzing through openings since at least 2021, steadily climbing the rating ladder like a caffeinated knight on a quest for glory. Not just your average chess enthusiast, romalos boasts a peak blitz rating of 1076 in April 2025 and peeks at a rapid rating of 1115 back in March 2021, proving resilience and growth over the years.
Known for embracing the French Defense Knight Variation with a win rate north of 56%, romalos clearly enjoys a good classical footwork, even if the occasional gambit might get his opponents puzzled or mildly frustrated. With a blitz win/loss record curiously balanced at around 4446 wins to 4410 losses and a dash of draws sprinkled in, romalos plays like a tightrope walker—thrilling until the last move.
Not just a blitz warrior, romalos also engages the rapid and bullet formats, with nearly 50% win rates in both, showing versatility across the game’s many moods. His longest winning spree stands at a solid 12 games, while his less cheerful streak peaks at 32 losses, reinforcing that even the best have their “Oops” moments.
Fun fact: romalos has a dramatic psychological flair, with a tilt factor of 32 (because who doesn’t lose their cool after that sneaky blunder?) and finds their mojo best around the crack of dawn at 1 AM —perhaps the perfect time to confound opponents who are half-asleep.
When not busy plotting checkmates or evading them, romalos prefers the Endgame, spending about 70% of their games there. Games tend to last roughly 68 moves on average—because rushing is for pawns, but romalos likes to savor every battle! The player embraces both white and black pieces with win rates hovering just below 50%, showing a balanced and fearless style.
“I don’t always win, but when I do, it’s often after a comeback or an opponent’s dramatic resignation,” says romalos, with a wink.
A recent masterpiece features the French Defense Knight Variation, ending in a neat resignation in just 32 moves. For those interested, you can replay one of romalos’s recent victories here.
