Rated around 2275, he sits at the candidate-master and expert level, which means his calculation runs deep, his opening files are well-thumbed, and most club-level mistakes will be punished before the middlegame even settles. As Black he leans on the [Philidor Defense](/resources/openings/philidor-defense), a solid, slightly old-fashioned system that suits his patient temperament and his taste for clear pawn structures. An Old Leather Bookmark sits on the table beside him during every game, a small ritual borrowed from the songbooks he carries between gigs. Expect a determined, well-prepared opponent who is happy to simplify into long, technical endings where small advantages quietly grow.","28","tyqqz","Ireland","ie","b01081715fa93507df9fe52ff110e780cfd4be8fc18d9e789ce2c2ec03eb8a58","2026-07-06",2275,"json",[15,18,21],{"question":16,"answer":17},"What rating is Ronan?","Ronan is rated approximately 2275, which places him at the candidate master to expert level.
