Playing Style: The Heart of a Gryffindor
Ron approaches chess much like defending his best mate Harry Potter—sometimes reckless, often brave, and always spirited. His favorite opening? The King's Gambit Accepted Kings Knight Gambit, where his 55% win rate proves that sacrificing a pawn or two for some action is his style. He also dabbles in the Scotch Game Classical Variation and the deliciously tricky Queen's Gambit Declined Albin Countergambit with a confident 66.67% win rate, showing he’s no stranger to complex tactical fights.
Chess Stats & Quirks
- Average Moves: Around 59 moves per win—Ron believes in long, engaging battles, possibly because he never likes to leave just yet.
- Psychology: Tilts like any passionate wizard; beware the TiltFactor 11. His best moves come bright and early at 5 AM, so catch him before his morning pumpkin juice!

Recent Adventures
Ron’s recent games are as thrilling as any chapter in the Harry Potter books. His latest victory was a daring Evans Gambit declination duel, where he outmaneuvered arturooo32 with classic attacking flair, finishing in just 15 moves by resignation. This showcases Ron’s tactical sharpness when he feels like trading chess pieces — and perhaps some of his favorite jokes.
On the other hand, his losses—like the tough checkmate at the hands of taxikev—remind us that even heroes stumble, especially when the opposition chooses the closed Sicilian. But as any true Gryffindor knows, every loss is a setup for a glorious comeback!
Fun Facts
