Roman Urazov: A Chess Journey
In the vast battlefield of the 64 squares, Roman Urazov, often known by his online moniker Romanurazov, carves out his unique path. With a peak Blitz rating touching 1137 in November 2018 and notable prowess in Rapid chess where he scored nearly 1100, Roman is the kind of player who blends patience, occasional stubbornness, and a love for the Scotch Game that shows in his 54.67% win rate with this opening in Blitz games.
Style and Strategy
Roman isn’t just about brute force; his games tend to last — averaging nearly 55 moves to victory — a testament to his strategic endurance and love for endgames. You might say he’s a marathon runner in a world of sprinters. And yes, a tilt factor of 11 hints that even our hero has his "off" days, but with a comeback rate above 75%, Roman is resilient enough to bounce back like a chessboard lifeline.
Statistical Tidbits
- Blitz Record: Over 11,600 games with almost equal wins and losses, proving he's no stranger to both glory and the humble pie.
- Rapid Record: Solid performance with 428 wins out of 901 games; not bad for someone whose best time to play is apparently 3 AM — the witching hour of chess brilliance.
- Favorite Opening: Loves to test hands with the Scotch Game and occasionally flirts with the Scandinavian Defense, suggesting a penchant for aggressive, direct play.
- Casual vs Rated: He tends to enjoy casual battles a little more, with an 18% better win rate versus lower-rated opponents—because who doesn’t like a confidence boost?
Mental Chess
Roman’s psychological profile shows a modest early resignation rate (4.14%), indicating he's not one to quit easily. He prefers playing the long game, often seen in his affinity for endgames in over half of his games. He also demonstrates a slight edge when playing with the white pieces (50.87% wins) compared to black (45.25%), but hey, who doesn't?
Recent Battles
In one of his latest matches, under the pseudonym Romanurazov, he showcased tactical precision by defeating a fellow competitor with the Queen's Pawn Opening, securing a hard-earned victory after a tense 39-move battle.
Fun Fact
Despite all the numbers and stats, Roman’s chess journey has the flavor of a classic underdog tale — sometimes winning, sometimes losing, but always fighting with heart and strategy. If chess were a TV series, Roman’s episodes would be a rollercoaster with suspense, drama, and a touch of unexpected brilliance.
