Vincent Rothuis (aka "schoolmeester")

International Master of Chess and Subtle Strategist

Vincent Rothuis, proudly bearing the title of International Master bestowed by FIDE, is a chess player who’s more than just battles and pawns — he’s a whirlwind of speed, strategy, and occasionally, a flair for the dramatic early resignation.

Vincent's chess journey is a thrilling rollercoaster through the realms of Bullet and Blitz chess, where his lightning-fast reflexes and sharp tactics have earned him peak bullet ratings soaring close to 3000, and blitz peaks nudging near 2900. Talk about fast and furious!

With a bullet win record over 7,600 games and a blitz win tally nearing 1,000, Vincent has clearly put in the hours. His average game ends rather swiftly — about 9.5 moves per victory — proving he prefers taking names and capturing kings before opponents can finish their coffee.

But beware — Vincent’s early resignation rate clocks at nearly 93%, suggesting a low tolerance for prolonged suffering on the board. If things look bleak? He’s out faster than you can say "checkmate." Maybe it’s efficiency, or maybe it’s just saving energy for the next fierce match!

His preference? Playing the game with the black pieces appears slightly more fortunate, boasting a win rate above 53%, while white pieces grant him a respectable 52%. A true master knows there are no bad colors, only bad moves.

Off the board, Vincent enjoys outsmarting opponents ranging from “larso” to “nochewycandy,” with whom he has both bitter rivalries and triumphant victories. His win rates against some opponents reach astonishing heights like 100%, while a rare blip appears against chess superstars such as Magnus Carlsen — it turns out even masters have their kryptonite.

Vincent’s chess activity shows a serious commitment to online arenas, with tens of thousands of games recorded, proving that when it comes to chess, he's a relentless competitor who never stops learning and pressing “go” on new challenges.

When playing, Vincent shines brightest in the afternoon hours (with a peak win rate over 70% around noon and early afternoon), perhaps powered by a well-timed espresso or sheer inner fire. Sundays and Saturdays may be for rest, but Monday brings almost 57% win rate — proving a true chess disciple sets no days off.

In conclusion, Vincent Rothuis is a fiercely speedy, cunning, and disciplined chess master who approaches every game with a battle-ready mind and a cheeky nod to the early surrender. So if you ever face him, remember: it’s as much about timing as it is about tactics... and maybe #DontTilt.
