CobotNut: The Cunning Chess Nut

Meet CobotNut, a rapid and relentless chess enthusiast whose journey through the 64 squares has been anything but dull! Known for their tenacity and a keen eye for tricky openings like the Englund Gambit and the Van t Kruijs Opening, CobotNut expertly wields a mix of classical and offbeat strategies to keep opponents on their toes.

Rise and Grind

From a rapid rating peak of 753 in March 2023 to a steady 509 in mid-2025, CobotNut’s progress reflects a player who’s learning, adapting, and occasionally shaking their head at blunders (because who doesn’t?). Their remarkable longest winning streak of 8 games proves they can put on a clinic when in form, though their longest losing streak of 6 reminds us just how humbling chess can be.

Playing Style: The Nutty Tactician

With an average game lasting around 50 moves, CobotNut is a patient fighter who enjoys a good endgame as much as a tactical tussle. Their early resignation rate is a modest 11%, which we can interpret as “sometimes the nut just cracks early” – but the impressive comeback rate of 60% tells us never to count this nut out too soon.

Opening Repertoire

• King’s Pawn Opening: Their most played with a solid 57% win rate – Shades of a classic strategist.
• Englund Gambit: Surprisingly successful, boasting a 59% win rate, showing their love for tricky, aggressive play.
• Van t Kruijs Opening & Vienna Game: Both hold a strong 62.5% win rate – clearly these nuts crack some tough shells!

Victories & Defeats

With 228 wins in rapid alone, CobotNut shows determination and plenty of battle scars: 221 losses and 52 draws. Their Bullet and Blitz records may be humble but include a perfect 1-for-1 bullet win – a quick nutcracker move delivered with style.

Psychological Tidbits

CobotNut’s tilt factor is a low 6, meaning frustration doesn’t often throw a wrench in their game. Their best time to play is 21:00, when the nut is freshest and most focused – possibly fueled by late-night snacks and caffeine. Interestingly, their win rate jumps to 100% at 21:00 in their recorded games, so beware scheduling a match too late!

Notable Recent Games

A memorable 2025 rapid victory against Theoricus_B saw CobotNut elegantly trap their opponent into resignation with a smart sequence involving a queen-side assault after the Colle System opening. On the flip side, a tough loss to ilkham2288 showed the cruel side of chess, with a surprise early abandonment.

Fun Facts

• Rarely gives up early; 11% early resignation rate means they fight hard.
• Average moves per win and loss are quite similar – proving games are usually drawn-out nutcrackers.
• Favors white slightly more, boasting a 47% overall win rate with White pieces.

Whether cracking jokes or cracking positions, CobotNut is a player to watch in the thrilling world of online chess, nutty tactics and all.
