Profile Summary: RoyB2201

Meet RoyB2201, a relentless chess warrior navigating the battlefield of 64 squares with a passion that rivals a caffeine-fueled grandmaster on a midnight blitz spree. Though the rating gods have been a bit moody—peaking at a Rapid rating of 908 in June 2023 and a Daily star moment of 1077 shortly afterward—Roy’s journey is a thrilling rollercoaster of strategic risks and tactical surprises.

Playing Style & Strengths

Roy’s style is a curious mix of patience and stubborn endgame endurance, with an endgame frequency of nearly 61%. He’s no quitter either; boasting an impressive comeback rate of 62.86%, Roy often snatches victory from the jaws of defeat. Though the tilt factor stands at 10 (because who doesn’t get cranky losing a queen on move 7?), the peak of the day for brilliance seems to be around 10 AM — perfect for those early birds who love to checkmate before their first coffee.

Opening Repertoire: Diversify and Conquer

Roy dabbles in a variety of openings, favoring Alekhine’s Defense (60% win rate in Rapid) and Queen's Pawn Opening: Mikenas Defense (about 67% win rate). There’s also a penchant for the Kings Pawn Opening's more adventurous variations — from the Kings Knight to Leonardis — proving Roy’s not afraid to throw the kitchen sink at opponents. But beware the English Opening Kings English Variation, where the win rate dips to 0%; maybe best avoided unless feeling lucky!

Recent Battles

Recent win highlights include an elegant checkmate against LordSnenss and a victorious tussle with syney2000 in the Center Game — a favorite tactical playground. Meanwhile, losses against irfanhalilintar and danya71028 remind Roy that every hero’s quest has its dragons to slay.

Opponent Chronicles

With a mixed record against frequent rivals, Roy shines brightest against redbull1104 with a winning percentage hovering near 86% across 7 games — a personal rival or just a lucky streak? Meanwhile, opponents like fecuwal loom large, where Roy’s record is a humbling 1 win in 26 attempts. Some nemeses simply demand respect — or a new opening strategy.

Fun Facts

• Longest winning streak: 4 games (because we all start somewhere)
• Longest losing streak: a brutal 10 games (learning perseverance the hard way!)
• Favorite time to make the first capture: Move 7, proving Roy likes kicking off the action early.
• Average moves per win: ~51; average moves per loss: ~61 — patience truly is a virtue.

Whether rocking the 10 AM showdowns or wrestling through a tough losing streak, RoyB2201’s chess tale is one of grit, grin, and gallantry. Expect more surprises ahead — after all, every loss is just a plot twist in the making!
