Ignacio Raviolo (aka Tiohoracio)
Ignacio Raviolo, famously known by the username Tiohoracio, is a chess phenomenon who has baffled opponents and computers alike with his deep strategic mind and unpredictable play style. This chess maestro has been active since at least 2012, climbing steadily through the ranks from a humble blitz rating of 1378 all the way up to a staggering peak blitz rating of 2675 in March 2023. Not bad for a guy who once thought "checkmate" was just a fancy way to request a rematch!
Career Highlights
- Peak Blitz Rating: 2675 (March 2023) – Clearly, Tiohoracio doesn’t just blitz through pizza orders.
- Peak Bullet Rating: 2539 (June 2021) – Lightning-fast moves with the precision of a caffeinated squirrel.
- Peak Rapid Rating: 1647 (March 2018) – Because sometimes speed needs a bit of elegance.

Playing Style and Stats
Ignacio is the tactical terror your coach warned you about. With an endgame frequency of an impressive 85.6%, he knows how to squeeze victories from positions where lesser mortals see only desperation. His average moves per win hover around 78 moves, proving that he enjoys long, drawn-out battles that test patience and nerve - or maybe he’s just slow at setting the timer.
His white pieces bite a bit harder, yielding a 55.86% win rate, whereas his black pieces still make a respectable 51.47% win ratio.
Tiohoracio has a reputation for resilience, boasting a massive comeback rate of 88.7%, which means he can turn the tables when opponents think they’ve already won. But be warning: his tilt factor of 14 means even this grandmaster has bad days—just remember, even Bobby Fischer had coffee mishaps.
