Meet Ruan Linde Cillié, a rising star in the realm of rapid chess, whose rating journey is as dynamic and evolving as a cell dividing!

Talk about a grandmaster in metamorphosis!

When playing white, Ruan enjoys a roughly 51% success rate, while black pieces bring about a slightly more challenging 44%. But don’t be fooled — their endgame frequency is close to 49%, a signal that Ruan is not just about sharp opening pics but relishes the late-stage cellular drama of the game.
Outside the petri dish of stats, Ruan maintains a humorously high early resignation rate of 9.33%. Sometimes even the strongest organisms know when to fold — a chess player’s version of programmed cell death to conserve energy for the next match.
Across different time controls, Ruan has steadily improved, with daily ratings soaring up to 972, blitz hovering mid-300s, and bullet showing promise with a peak of 744 in 2025. This diversification is like a healthy symbiosis of speed and strategy, adapting to whatever the format demands.
Off the board, Ruan’s tilt factor sits modestly at 11%, proving this player keeps the nerves in check — no unnecessary cellular stress here! And with an average of nearly 50 moves per win, patients and precision clearly underscore Ruan’s methodical approach to victory.
