About Rosana-Meves (aka Tí)

Meet Rosana-Meves, affectionately known in the chess world as Tí — a daring tactician with a penchant for fighting hard even on the toughest boards. While their Rapid rating peaked at a respectable 336 in May 2025, Tí's journey through the ranks has been nothing short of a rollercoaster ride. With an average Rapid rating around 117, they've bravely battled through 230+ rapid games, sporting a win-loss record that screams resilience: 86 wins, 140 losses, and a few draws sprinkled in for suspense.

Opening Gambits & Style

Tí's repertoire is as eclectic as their game count. Their favorite battleground? The King's Pawn Opening with a modest 31% win rate, proving they're no stranger to challenges. Noteworthy highlights include a 60% success rate in the Reti Opening, and an unexpected triumph with the Sicilian Defense, boasting a sharp 75% win rate albeit in just 4 games. The Grob Opening also reveals Tí's playful side – unconventional, unpredictable, and occasionally rewarded.

Strengths & Struggles

Tí shows a knack for comebacks, clawing back with a proven 66.3% comeback rate — a true fighter who doesn't back down after losing material! But like many heroes, they've had their dark moments, enduring a longest losing streak spanning 9 games and a tilt factor of 9, hinting at some passionate (maybe slightly emotional?) chess battles.

Psychological & Tactical Traits

Patience might not always be on the menu, with an early resignation rate near 18% — but when Tí sticks it out, games often stretch to roughly 38 moves per win. The endgame phase is frequently visited (35% of the time), showcasing a willingness to roll the dice till the very end. True to their gritty reputation, Tí’s win rate is slightly better with the white pieces (39%), though battles as black hold their own flavor of challenge.

Playing Hours & Preferences

Night owl? You bet. Tí’s best hour appears around 23:00 with an enviable 61.5% win rate, perfect for late-night brilliance or desperate hustle. Mid-afternoon sessions aren’t too shabby either, especially at 10:00 and 14:00, when their win rate soars close to 58%. Mornings, however, seem to be a slower start, with bouts of zero wins recorded at 9:00 and 11:00 — morning coffee needed maybe?

Memorable Matches

Whether it's the classy resignation victories over juyotaka and Adi2Leksa, featuring daring moves from the Grob and Sicilian Defense, or their checkmate triumph using the Reti Opening, Tí continuously entertains with both strategy and surprise. Their recent setbacks against seasoned foes like QUANTUM2021 remind us that every grandmaster was once a beginner, and every game is a lesson.

Fans & Future

With a current rating of 100 in both Rapid and Blitz modes in early June 2025, Tí is just warming up. Their fearless approach to a wide variety of openings and stubborn resistance against statistically stronger opponents speaks volumes: Tí is not here to make friends, but to make moves — bold, quirky, and with a touch of flair.

In the vast chess cosmos, Tí shines as that brave underdog who, win or lose, never fails to entertain and inspire!
