Player Profile: cimsi

Meet cimsi, a rapidly rising chess enthusiast dominating the virtual boards in 2025 with a knack for surprises and a pinch of unpredictability. With a peak rapid rating of 614 in March and a dazzling daily rating peak of 859 in May, cimsi dances between triumphs and tough lessons like a grandmaster-in-training with plenty of heart.

Playing Style & Strengths

Known for a fairly balanced style, cimsi prefers to steer games toward lengthy battles, boasting an impressive average of nearly 59 moves to win. Endgames are their playground, featuring in over 60% of their games, suggesting a patient and strategic mindset. However, early resignations occur at a modest 7%, showing a fair share of stubborn fight or expert judgment on when to concede.

Their comeback rate is a noteworthy 67%, proving cimsi never gives up easily once the tide turns — unless the opponent cleverly snatches a piece, where the win rate drops to around 40%. But hey, who doesn’t choke occasionally when the queen sneaks off the board?

Opening Repertoire

Queen's Pawn Opening is a favored weapon, played 114 times with an above-average win rate near 52%. Cimsi also experimentalizes with the Englund Gambit, boasting a bizarrely high 67% success rate there — proving that sometimes throwing wild pawns pays off. The King's Pawn Opening is also well-trafficked but slightly less trusty at 48% wins.

Less friendly toward the Scandinavian Defense lineage, cimsi struggles a bit with a win rate hovering around 38%-42%, but chalk it up to the learning curve — even grandmasters have off days!

Recent Battles

The latest game victory featured a bold King’s Pawn Opening with a swift queen early strike, dazzling the opponent until they finally bowed out. Victory came by resignation after an intense 46-move duel full of tactical fireworks and creeping pressure.

Against tough opponents, losses do happen, such as the recent one to Km220641 on the King’s Pawn battlefield — a reminder that chess is still a game of infinite learning, even for rising stars.

Psychological Edge & Preferences

Cimsi plays their best chess in the wee hours — literally around 3 AM — proving they might just be a chess ninja under the cover of night, when most brains are half-asleep but theirs is brightly alert. They have a tilt factor of 7, suggesting a slender chance of frustration, but nothing a good cup of coffee can’t fix.
