The person playing under the name of dashriprock at the Internet Chess Club is usually rated around 1300 and loves playing 3 minute blitz chess. Dash Riprock was the name of a pick up bar in Lubbock,TX long ago. Very sexy girls in tight shorts and alcohol led to a lot of one night stands at this PUA's dream within easy walking distance of Texas Tech. Go Raiders. The sexual tension was so high that the bathroom stalls were sometimes occupied by horny coeds banging away. Campus police put an end to that one late Saturday night.
TTU had a strong chess team headed up by Susan Polgar. She brought in Grand Masters and the University hosted some exceptionally strong tournaments during her tenure. Susan departed amidst nasty USCF politcal wranglings, apparently more her husband's doings, but left a lasting chess legacy and also a sense of permanency with chessic architecture located near the library.
Anyways back to this character named dashriprock who plays blitz chess at the ICC. He is an aggressive, but relatively weak player whose anger has a much higher rating than his chess playing. I would say he is around Master strength with respect to anger and hot-headedness.
In the game you see below he disconnected without resigning after he hung his rook while desperately pre-moving trying to consume time. Many blitz players play under the pre-aggreed condition that all disconnects will count as losses even if the disconnect is caused by lag or internet outage. This guy obviously disconnected for his blunder in time pressure.
