Player Profile

Przemyslaw Koc, known online as 2346PL, is a National Master who brings a thoroughly old school fighting spirit to the digital chessboard. He prefers Daily chess, which makes sense for a player whose winning games average more than 77 moves. He does not rush, he does not panic, and he certainly does not resign early.

Fighting Spirit and Endgame Grit

Koc is the rare player who can lose a piece and keep playing as if nothing happened. His comeback rate sits at 87.38%, and he still wins 49.29% of his games after dropping material. With an endgame frequency of 83.89%, he drags opponents deep into technical positions where patience becomes a weapon. His longest winning streak is 30 games, while his longest losing streak of 10 games apparently only made him more dangerous.

, and his peak Blitz rating of 2754 (2026-06-06) shows how far he has climbed since the early days of his online career.

Opening Repertoire

Koc is a 1.d4 loyalist. He has played the Amazon Attack: Siberian Attack more than 1,600 times in Blitz alone, and he returns to his favorite queen pawn setups like comfortable old shoes. As Black he is at home in the Sicilian Defense, especially the Nimzowitsch Variation, and he also enjoys the Scandinavian Defense and the Dutch Defense. His
