Meet Co Po (aka copoko)
Co Po is a spirited chess adventurer navigating the royal battlefield with a rating rollercoaster worthy of a theme park ride. Starting with humble beginnings around 300 in Rapid chess, Co Po surged to a peak Rapid rating of 1038 in July 2024, proving that dedication and perhaps a few surprising moves can turn tides faster than you can say “checkmate.”
Play Style & Stats
This player has a penchant for the Scandinavian Defense, playing over 370 Rapid games with a solid 53% win rate, showing a real liking for opening challenges. Their white pieces fetch a slightly better win rate (~51%) compared to black (~46%), reminding us all that sometimes the first move really counts. Co Po’s games tend to be strategic marathons, averaging about 54 moves per win, yet they’re not shy about early resignations (about 9% of the time), perhaps saving energy for the next battle.
Tactically, Co Po is a fighter — with a remarkable 68% comeback rate after setbacks and a respectable 42% chance to win even after losing a piece. That’s resilience most of us can admire, especially when combined with a tilt factor of 10 (a gentle reminder that even the best get a little frustrated now and then).
Notable Achievements
- Over 2200 wins in Rapid games alone — that’s a lot of pawns promoted!
- Peak Blitz rating of 984 back in 2018, proving speed isn’t their enemy.
- A personal best Bullet rating of 763, even if Bullet games seem to be a rarer beast for Co Po.

Recent Battles
