Cotolos: The Charming Chess Challenger

Once upon a chessboard, there emerged a player known simply as Cotolos—a rapidly evolving tactician with a penchant for turning pawns into stories and knights into surprising heroes. With a rapid rating that climbed from humble beginnings at 188 in 2021 to a respectable peak of 432 by April 2025, Cotolos embodies persistence sprinkled with flashes of brilliance.

Not one to shy away from variety, Cotolos experiments across time controls: blitz, bullet, rapid, and even daily games—because why settle for one flavor of chess when you can sample them all? The blitz peak rating? A swift 557. Bullet? A speedy 329. And a daily game peak at a perfect 400 rating, proving slow and steady sometimes wins... or at least holds their own.

Playing Style & Personality

Cotolos is a strategic rollercoaster—a player who averages around 56 moves per win, clearly enjoying the long fight, and around 43 moves per loss, showing that even setbacks come after marathon battles on the board. With a cheeky Early Resignation Rate of roughly 12%, this player knows when to hold 'em and when to fold 'em, making for efficient yet engaging games.

The psychological edge? Cotolos' tilt factor is an impressively modest 7, maintaining composure even when the game slips sideways. And best of all, this ambitious tactician’s best time to strike is allegedly at 5 AM—so if you ever want a match, make sure your coffee’s ready.

Opening Repertoire and Battle Scars

When it comes to openings, Cotolos isn't afraid of variety either. The kingspawn and queenspawn openings are some classics in their arsenal, with a notable winning smile against the King’s Pawn Opening, King’s Knight Variation and the Queen’s Pawn Opening, Chigorin Variation, both boasting win rates north of 55%. Their secret weapon? The Philidor Defense, which amazingly hits a 100% win rate in blitz and bullet games — talk about turning old classics into knockout punches!

Victories and Defeats

Cotolos has battled fiercely on the digital battlefield, accumulating a near-even rapid record: 315 wins, 302 losses, and 48 draws. Blitz and bullet records echo this balanced saga of wins and losses but lean slightly toward experience gained over time.

Recent games showcase both the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat. In a recent encounter, Cotolos checkmated Johnny187fs, executing a clinical attack culminating in a queen sacrifice and a victorious flourish. Yet, losses remind us of the humbling beauty of chess — every defeat a lesson, every move a story.

Fun Facts

  • Nickname could easily be: “The Nearly-Unbeatable Midnight Strategist.”
  • Current longest winning streak stands at a solid 6 games — nothing short of a mini-championship run!
  • Likes to keep opponents guessing, with a comeback rate of over 75% after losing a piece. Never count them out!

In summary, Cotolos is the kind of chess player who embodies the spirit of relentless improvement, strategic creativity, and just a pinch of delightful unpredictability. Keep your kings close and your queens closer when you face this formidable player!
