Arnap Chepan: The Chess Adventurer
Meet Arnap Chepan, a chess enthusiast whose journey through the 64 squares is as colorful as a kaleidoscope—if kaleidoscopes had pawns and knights, that is. Also known by the username csarpii, Arnap’s chess ratings have danced a lively tango over the years, illustrating a player who refuses to be boxed in.
The Evolution of a Player
Starting with modest blitz ratings around the 1000 mark in 2015, Arnap showed a flair for rapid and daily chess, peaking with a daily rating above 1500 early on. Although the ratings gently dipped in daily games over subsequent years, the rapid rating has consistently hovered around the 1000–1100 zone, with bursts reaching near 1200—perhaps fueled by caffeine or sheer willpower.
Style and Strategies
Not one to shy away from complexity, Arnap's games are marked by an impressive endgame frequency of 58.8% and an average of nearly 58 moves per win, proving stamina is their middle name. Known for their resilience, Arnap boasts a remarkable 69.85% comeback rate and astonishingly wins every time after losing a piece—a chess Houdini in action! Just beware the occasional tilt, as a modest tilt factor of 11 hints this warrior sometimes battles the psychological chessboard as much as the real one.
Record & Rivalries
Over hundreds of rapid and daily games, Arnap has amassed over 1,000 wins, showing a near-even split with losses—a classic underdog tale of grit and persistence. Frequent opponents include the likes of aaronm1010 and hrezoke, with varied success. And while their opening repertoire is still shrouded in mystery (called "Top Secret"), their win rates suggest it’s anything but pedestrian.
A Quirky Tactical Mind
Arnap’s early resignation rate stands at a humble 3.2%, showing they prefer battling to the bitter end—or at least to the point their coffee runs out. Their psychological fabric is a tapestry of fierce competitiveness and a dash of humor, making every game an adventure filled with unexpected twists, dramatic recoveries, and a refreshing refusal to take losing too seriously.
In an era dominated by Grandmasters and AI, Arnap Chepan reminds us that chess is as much about the journey as the scorecard, and sometimes about outlasting your opponent with a smile (and an occasional cheeky blunder).
