βοΈ 5 Types of Online Rapid Players We All Know π
Online rapid games (like 15|10 or 10|5) might give us more time to think...
But that doesn't mean we don’t still bump into some wild personalities!
Here are 5 types of rapid players you're guaranteed to meet online — or maybe, just maybe, one of them is you π
1οΈβ£ The Secret Sprinter
They start a 15|10 game like it’s a 1|1 bullet match.
Moves flying, pieces zooming, and suddenly your flag falls while they’re chilling with 5 extra minutes on the clock.
Speed is their weapon. Confusion is their strategy.
2οΈβ£ The Rematch Junkie
You win a tight game.
Before you can sip water... “Rematch?”
Then again... and again... and again.
Eventually, someone rage-quits (probably you).
3οΈβ£ The Mouse-Slip Maestro
Blunders a queen.
Type “mouse slip!” in chat with zero hesitation.
Then continues playing like nothing happened — hoping you’re kind enough to blunder back.
4οΈβ£ The Timeout Tactician
Forget strategy — they’re laser-focused on the clock.
They stall in losing positions, hoping you’ll overthink yourself into a timeout.
Their motto? “Doesn’t matter if I lose on the board, as long as I win on time!”
5οΈβ£ The Rating Shadow
No rating. No profile pic. No country.
You expect a casual player, then BAM!
They’re playing like a Grandmaster in disguise.
Who are they? We'll never know... π΅οΈβοΈ
π― Which One Are You?
Let’s be honest… most of us have been at least one of these at some point π
