Андрей Врублевский (Ryralman)
Meet Андрей Врублевский, known online by the enigmatic handle Ryralman. A journeyman of the 64 squares, Андрей's chess career is a tale of perseverance, tactical surprises, and occasional misadventures with the clock.
Rating and Playstyle
Андрей's peak rapid rating soared to 936 in October 2024, showing flashes of brilliance tempered with the humbling realities of competitive play. His blitz exploits reached an impressive 1026, proving that when the pace quickens, his instincts often sharpen. Bullet and daily formats have been a bit more experimental, with ratings in the 300-400 range that suggest either brave risks or simply a love of variety.
Known for a 39.3% frequency of engaging endgames and an average game length hovering around 46 moves, Андрей prefers battles that test both patience and sharpness. White pieces bring him a slightly better win rate (about 51.5%), while playing Black is a bit tougher—but hey, who’s perfect?
Opening Repertoire
Mystery fans rejoice! The top opening in Андрей's arsenal is intriguingly labeled "Top Secret" — perhaps a sly nod to his surprise tactics or just a placeholder for a diverse playbook. He enjoys the Scotch Game where he boasts a decent win rate of 61.5%, and the French Defense Knight Variation where he shines spectacularly with an 83.3% success rate. The occasional dip into gambits like the Englund and Van't Kruijs Opening shows a willingness to experiment, no matter the odds.
Tactical Flair and Psychological Edge
With a comeback rate of over 78%, Андрей is the sort of player who refuses to surrender early. He manages to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat often enough, though his tilt factor of 9 hints he’s human and sometimes feels the sting of bad moves. Curiously, his best playing hour is at an unusual 3:00 AM — clearly the midnight oil fuels his grandmaster dreams!
Match Records and Rivalries
With over a thousand rapid games under his belt, Андрей’s win-loss record is almost neck-and-neck—529 wins against 534 losses—tough competition and fierce fights on every board. His most recent victory came in a Queen’s Gambit Accepted Old Variation battle where his opponent resigned after a solid strategic play. Even in losses, the games show competitive spirit and learning moments, highlighting a player who never stops improving.
