Batu Kavas (a.k.a. batunos69)

Meet Batu Kavas, a chess enthusiast whose journey on the 64 squares is as curious as it is entertaining. Known online as batunos69, Batu's chess adventures have seen him ride emotional rollercoasters, smash some unwinnable positions, and resign early enough to earn a respectable 23.23% early resignation rate—because who likes dragging out a losing game anyway?

Rating & Performance

Starting strong in 2020 with a Blitz peak rating of 838 and a Rapid of 846, Batu's ratings dipped a bit in 2023 (Rapid: 467, Blitz: 339), proving that chess, like life, sometimes deals unexpected gambits. However, his tactical resilience remains impressive, boasting a 53.23% comeback rate and a perfect 100% win rate after losing a piece—because nothing says "never give up" like turning a blunder into a brilliancy!

Style of Play

Batu prefers the dramatic path: with an average of 45 moves per win, he’s not one to rush—unless he’s early resigning, of course. White pieces bring out a slightly better performance, with a 43.45% win rate, closely tailed by Black at 42.36%. He shies away from long endgames only 32.5% of the time, perhaps saving energy for the next match or the next snack break.

Most Famous Opens?

His opening repertoire remains Top Secret—literally! With 15 Blitz and over 270 Rapid games labeled behind the mystery curtain, his 44% win rate in Rapid suggests that a surprise tactic or two might just work.

Opponents & Memes

Facing a colorful cast—from amolwani23 to cooltibogamer—Batu's record is a mixed bag. Some opponents have turned intensity into total domination (looking at you, cansarpsahinoz), while others enjoy the better end. He's undefeated against a slew of opponents, reminding us all that online chess can be a battlefield of epic tales.

When to Play?

Batu's tough to beat on Thursdays (winning over 59% of games) and evenings around 8 PM (an impressive 80% win rate). However, mornings at 9 AM are hazardous territory, with a meek 7.69% win rate—perhaps coffee or strategy tuning is still pending.

The Human Side

With a tilt factor of 7, Batu keeps his cool...ish. Not every defeat is welcomed, but his resilience punches back on the board. Rated matches are trickier than casual ones, dropping his scores by 7.4%—because even chess warriors have bad days.

All in all, Batu Kavas is a player who uniquely blends fighting spirit with humorous humility, proving that whether you win, lose, or early resign, the true victory lies in the game itself.
