Ricardo Kropff - International Master of Chess

Meet Ricardo Kropff, an International Master (IM) who has danced with the chessboard like a grandmaster in training and often left opponents wondering if their queens got lost on the way to the party. With a peak daily rating flirting just shy of 2122 and rapid reflexes that push his blitz and bullet ratings north of 2300 and 2600 respectively, Ricardo is no stranger to victory—though his opponents might call it a “consultation” with their own defeat.

Career Highlights & Style

Ricardo earned his IM title from FIDE, a badge of honor that signals serious skill and probably a knack for spotting tactics others miss. Known for a sturdy opening repertoire (shh... it's top secret), he boasts a phenomenal 58.5% win rate in his daily games and a fleet-footed approach that leaves fewer chances for early resignations (only about 12.28% of the time).

With an average of over 50 moves per win, Ricardo shows patience and precision — he’s not about quick smash-and-grabs but practicing the fine art of endgames (encountered in over 52% of his matches), where many players fold like a cheap tent but Ricardo stands firm.

The Tactical Mind and Psychological Resilience

If Ricardo loses a piece? Don't count him out—he's got a comeback rate topping 63%, and an almost mythical 99.87% win rate after giving up material. Clearly, he’s the kind of player who treats a lost pawn like a minor inconvenience rather than game over. His tilt factor clocks in at 28, meaning when the heat is on, he mostly keeps his cool—though the occasional eyebrow-raising moment might occur.

Trivia & Personality

Ricardo’s longest winning streak is an impressive 35 games, proving that when he’s on, he’s REALLY on. He’s managed to secure superb records against opponents whose usernames read like a digital who’s who, including undefeated streaks versus “alvaroraulespinoza” and “dadiapetrovih.”

Always ready for a challenge, Ricardo’s chess clock ticks mostly at dawn and dusk—with a peak win rate of over 70% at the surprisingly strategic hour of 7 AM. Whether it's practically sunrise or practically bedtime, be mindful that Ricardo's ready to blitz you off the board—if you blink first.

In Summary

Ricardo Kropff is a steadfast warrior of the 64 squares, blending patient strategic mastery with fiery tactical ingenuity. A respected International Master with secret weapon openings and a temperament mostly steeled against the chaos of competition, Ricardo embodies the spirit of chess: constant adaptation, fierce resilience, and, sometimes, a little friendly mayhem.
