Profile Summary: cacahumain

Meet cacahumain, the chess player whose rating journey is as dynamic as a knight’s dance across the board. While not yet a grandmaster, cacahumain has demonstrated a determined spirit with a peak blitz rating of 782 (achieved in April 2025) and a rapid rating high of 648 the same month. Clearly, the late spring of 2025 was their personal chess season!

With a blitz record totalling 20 official games over 2023 to 2025, and a more extensive rapid portfolio, including 117 wins against 103 losses, cacahumain is a player who knows how to fight battles of all paces. Their longest winning streak is an impressive 9 games, but alas, streaks have their yin and yang – their longest losing streak is 8 games. This rollercoaster is what makes their story truly compelling.

Despite some struggles, cacahumain is a master of comebacks, boasting a remarkable 67.2% comeback rate after falling behind, proving that resignation is off the table for this resilient competitor.
And speaking of resignations, they only bow out early around 6.14% of the time — a sign of grit and stubbornness no doubt frowned upon by their opponents.

When it comes to opening repertoires, cacahumain experiments bravely. In rapid games, they shine brightest with the Reti Opening boasting an outstanding almost 89% win rate, while in blitz, the Queen’s Pawn Opening Horwitz Defense stands out as their only perfect record. Meanwhile, certain defenses like the Scandinavian Defense Mieses Kotrc Variation and Four Knights Game remain elusive to conquer.

Their favored battlegrounds? Evening hours seem to favor cacahumain’s strategic genius with the peak win rate at 22:00 (71.4%). Days too influence performance, with Monday being their luckiest midweek day with nearly 59% wins.

Don’t let their name fool you—cacahumain's playstyle is quite balanced. They have a slight preference for the black pieces, where their win rate nudges upward to 50%, while their white game hovers just a touch lower at 45%. Average games last about 48 moves in wins but stretch to >60 when the tides turn against them.

Fun fact: cacahumain loves to keep opponents guessing and has a peculiar fondness for middlegame endgames, appearing in over half their games, so don’t expect the battles to end quickly!

While cacahumain faces fierce rivals (notably tomamandrei from whom no wins have been snatched yet), they celebrate glorious victories against seasoned players like khalissinghcheema whom they have bested every recorded time.

Their most recent memorable triumph was a dazzling checkmate using the Petrov’s Defense Classical Variation, quickly turning the tide to claim victory against Onour2 in May 2025.

In summary, cacahumain is an endearing chess warrior, whose journey is filled with rising peaks and challenging valleys but a definite knack for resilience — the perfect opponent for anyone seeking both fun and fierce chess battles!
