Marco Rome

Marco Rome – The Chessboard Biologist

Known online as ScaccoMarco82, Marco is a player who proves that in the grand ecosystem of chess, adaptation is key! From his early days in 2021, with a blitz rating starting around 623, Marco has steadily evolved his game, pushing his blitz rating to a promising 707 by 2025, like a bacterium thriving in a petri dish of intense competition.

Marco’s rapid chess game is particularly fascinating—he achieved an impressive peak rating of 977 in 2024, showing his sharp tactical awareness and quick thinking. Speaking of tactics, his comeback rate is a remarkable 64.69%, with a 100% win rate after losing a piece. Clearly, this chess player knows how to survive even when the environment gets hostile, just like a resilient organism overcoming adversity.

When it comes to style, Marco tends to endure long matches with an average of about 53 moves per win and 55 moves per loss, indicating a calculated and patient approach—think of it as carefully laying out his pawns for cellular division rather than rushing to split prematurely.

His psychological resilience is noteworthy too, with a modest tilt factor of 15, meaning he doesn’t let even the most venomous blunders mutate his focus too much. And while his win rates hover just under 50% in blitz (49.86% playing white and 48.16% playing black), his extensive experience against a wide variety of opponents (having played over 4,300 blitz games!) shows a seasoned strategist with plenty of survival mechanisms.

Marco's longest winning streak is an impressive 15 games, showing he can propagate his winning genes effectively. However, at times his current streak rests at zero, proving even nature takes a breather between bouts of brilliance.

Outside the chessboard, Marco might enjoy taxonomy… of tactics. Whether he’s experimenting with the “Top Secret” opening (his preferred choice with a near 49% win rate) or navigating the chaotic rapid environments, Marco’s journey is a masterclass in evolution, adaptation, and the occasional well-timed checkmate.

In the vast biosphere of chess players, Marco Rome is a unique species that combines patience, strategic mutation, and the resilience of a grandmaster in the making—always ready to outmaneuver his opponents and keep the game alive, one move at a time.
