David Kiss (davidkiss1717) - The Relentless Chess Adventurer

David Kiss is not your everyday chess player; he's a blitz warrior with a flair for dramatic comebacks and a dedication that spans years. Starting off with a modest blitz rating of 987 in 2017 (two games, no wins but plenty of lessons), he has steadily pushed his limits through thousands of rapid-fire games to reach a blitz peak rating of 1528 in 2023. His journey is a testament to persistence, sprinkled with the occasional tilt but powered mostly by an uncanny ability to claw his way back in tough battles.

Style and Strategy

Known for an early resignation rate of just about 2%, David fights to the end in nearly every game. He embraces endgames with a frequency of 66%, which shows he doesn't shy away from the true test of chess skill and patience. His average game length hovers around 65 moves, proving he's in it for the marathon, not just a sprint.

Tactical Prowess

David's tactical brilliance shines brightest in adversity. He boasts a stellar 79% comeback rate, alongside a perfect 100% win rate after losing a piece—talk about making lemonade when life serves lemons! Opponents beware: if you snag a pawn or knight, don’t count your victory just yet.

Record and Rivalries

With over 7,300 blitz games and thousands in rapid formats, David has tallied more wins (3721 blitz wins) than losses, and draws are the cherry on the cake. He holds intriguing records against many opponents, boasting 100% win rates against numerous challengers like tristan-djorkaeff and jmc143. However, like every hero, he sometimes faces nemeses where the scoreboard is less kind.

Psychological Edge

David’s tilt factor at 14 means he occasionally lets frustration sneak in, but his overall resilience and psychological game keep him competitive. His rated vs. casual win difference is nearly 50%, proving he brings serious heat when the stakes are highest.

Playing Times & Preferences

Active across all days of the week, Monday seems his lucky charm with a win rate over 50%. Surprisingly, he’s a night owl too, owning perfect or near-perfect win rates in the wee hours—especially suspicious at 3 A.M. with a mysterious 100% win rate!

Rapid & Bullet Games

Rapid chess suits David well, with a highest rating of 1466 in 2023 and a respectable win rate of about 52%. Bullet chess is a challenge though — a lone battle in 2017 saw a loss — proving that lightning-fast reflexes may not be his strongest suit (yet).
