Profile: EkiChes

Meet EkiChes, a relentless Rapid chess warrior who battles fiercely on the 64 squares with a rating that dances around the 390s in 2025. While not a grandmaster (yet!), EkiChes has played over a thousand games in Rapid, boasting a nearly even split between wins and losses—because why be predictable?

Known for their tactical tenacity, EkiChes never gives up easily, staging comebacks with a 55.78% success rate after facing adversity, and remarkably winning every single time after losing a piece. Talk about turning lemons into checkmates! But beware, suffering one-sided losses 15% of the time keeps the journey humble and the fans entertained.

When on the board as Black, EkiChes tends to have the upper hand, edging a 46.93% win rate, slightly outperforming their White games at 45.16%. Their average win length of about 51 moves shows a love for the long and strategic grind, although losses come a little quicker at around 44 moves—maybe a sigh before resigning.

Frequent outfits in their chess arsenal include the Caro Kann Defense (played 129 times), the French Defense Knight Variation, and the ever-popular King's Pawn Opening King's Knight Variation. Their most successful experiment? The French Defense Knight Variation, with an impressive 62.86% win rate. EkiChes isn’t afraid to mix it up and try new openings to keep opponents guessing (and scratching their heads).

Don't be fooled by the occasional early resignation rate of 6.75%—sometimes it’s just saving face after a baffling blunder. EkiChes tends to shine brightest in the evenings, boasting over a 60% win rate around 11 AM, but there’s a cozy charm to their daytime play, and perhaps evenings bring coffee and cunning alike.

Psychologically, with a tilt factor of 7, EkiChes is like a chessboard juggler occasionally swayed by emotions but resilient enough to keep on playing. Their matches against familiar opponents show a colorful palette of results, but they seem to have nemeses and fan favorites alike, creating an epic chess soap opera.

Currently riding a winning streak of 1 game—because even chess warriors need their moment of glory—EkiChes remains a beloved figure in the Rapid chess community, proving that passion, resilience, and a little bit of cunning can keep you in the game, one move at a time.
