Kamil Rahman (aka AbsurdBit)
Meet Kamil Rahman, the chess player who dances on the brink of brilliance and chaos with the flair of a grandmaster and the heart of an artist. Known online as AbsurdBit, Kamil has navigated the rollercoaster of modern chess with both triumphs and tribulations, frequently tipping the scales in rapid games.
Chess Journey and Playing Style
Kamil’s adventure in rapid chess started modestly with ratings in the low 1100s back in 2020 but quickly blossomed into a fierce competitor peaking at a commendable 1746 in mid-2024. With over 3,200 rapid games played and a near even split of wins and losses (1442 wins to 1384 losses), Kamil's persistence is evident—like a chess brawler who never throws in the towel early. Speaking of early resignations, Kamil keeps those in check with a low rate of just 2.29%, proving he's in it till the final move or checkmate.
His games average around 73 moves when winning and even more when losing—showing true endurance and love for the prolonged battle of wit rather than quick punches. An impressive 86.16% comeback rate signals a fighter’s spirit when the odds look grim. Kamil’s preferred openings reveal a curious blend of mystery and classic defenses, frequently dabbling in "Top Secret" and the reliable French and Caro-Kann variations—fortresses as tough as his humor.
Wins, Losses, and That Quirky Streak
While his current winning streak is on a humble hiatus, Kamil's longest winning spree is a solid 10 games—trust us, that's a lot of celebrations over the board and maybe a few extra cups of coffee. Conversely, he’s battled through losing streaks up to 8 games, showing resilience and probably some creative venting away from the board.
A Glimpse of His Digital Battles
When playing as Black recently, Kamil secured a sharp checkmate victory against lemma20 using the Caro-Kann Defense Advance Variation—outmaneuvering his opponent with surgical precision. Yet, like any mortal chess warrior, he also knows the bitter sting of defeat, as seen in tough battles against Enggar-Sagita and others, where gritty endgames ended in resignation. But every loss only sharpens the AbsurdBit’s resolve.
