Ruifeng Li GM

Ruifeng Li - Grandmaster Extraordinaire

Meet Ruifeng Li, a chess grandmaster whose moves are as sharp as a knight's fork and whose strategies could make even the ancient gods of chess nod in approval. Earning the coveted Grandmaster title from FIDE, Ruifeng has proven to be a formidable force on the 64 squares, blending tactical prowess with psychological subtlety.

Rating Highlights

• Peak Blitz Rating: An awe-inspiring 2923 (December 2022) — because speed chess clearly isn't called "bullet" for nothing.
• Peak Rapid Rating: A solid 2627 (October 2022), demonstrating that Ruifeng can hold their own even when the clock moves slightly slower.
• Peak Bullet Rating: A blistering 2865 (January 2023) — proving lightning-fast reflexes combined with cold calculation.

Master of Many Openings

While many players keep their favorite openings under wraps (we see you!), Ruifeng’s opening repertoire is impressively diverse. From the Top Secret moves that kept opponents guessing in thousands of blitz battles, to more classical defenses like the Queens Pawn Opening (Horwitz Defense) and the tricky French Defense variations, Ruifeng brings a Swiss army knife of options to every game.

Particularly charming is their success with niche lines like the Alekhine's Defense (Scandinavian Variation) and the Scandinavian Defense Closed, claiming win rates north of 66% – enough to make opponents consider changing their usernames!

Playing Style & Quirks

With an impressive 61% comeback rate, Ruifeng is a true fighter. Losing a piece? No problem — they've still got roughly a 49% chance to turn the tables. Sometimes impatient (an early resignation rate just shy of 30%), Ruifeng prefers to finish battles with a bang rather than dragging battles into endless theoretical endgames.

Their games average around 56 moves before victory, which means Ruifeng is not just about rapid-fire tactics but also the marathon mental endurance. Notably, Ruifeng has a slight edge when playing White (52.86% win rate), but Black sides beware: a 51.72% win rate means they’re equally deadly when defending second.

Stats & Streaks Worth Cheering

• Longest winning streak: 21 games. Yes, 21. Somebody call Guinness.
• Current winning streak: 2 (still climbing!).
• Win-loss-draw record across formats: Rapid (329-386-41), Blitz (1711-1255-241), Bullet (217-111-26).

On the Clock

When does Ruifeng shine brightest? Their best time to play is early evening, around 6 PM — probably fueled by a freshly brewed cup of coffee or sheer grandmaster inspiration. Tuesdays and Saturdays are the luckiest days to face them with win rates around 54-56%.

Recent Battles of Note

Recently, Ruifeng has shown off stunning tactical prowess demonstrating their classic checkmating finesse. One memorable victory involved a scorching checkmate against an opponent playing on the Scandinavian Defense Closed, sealing the game with flawless precision in under 40 moves.

Like any great player, Ruifeng has tasted defeat, including a tough loss in a French Defense Exchange Variation — but hey, even grandmasters stumble occasionally (the rest of us just do it more often).

Final Thoughts

Whether blitzing through opponents with near-superhuman speed, navigating complex middlegame mazes, or applying pressure in endgames, Ruifeng Li represents the spirit of modern chess mastery.
