Elikem Kofi Attah: Candidate Master of Chess

Meet Elikem Kofi Attah, also known in chess circles as elikemattah, a determined and titled player who proudly holds the Candidate Master title from FIDE. With a chess journey spanning over a decade, Elikem's story is a testament to passion, persistence, and a cheeky resilience that says, "I may lose, but I’ll come back stronger!"

The Rise of a Chess Enthusiast

Starting with a modest rating around 1100 in 2011, Elikem’s Daily rating climbed steadily, peaking impressively at 1850 in June 2018. Not one to shy away from the faster-paced formats, they also flaunted a Blitz peak rating above 1500 and a Rapid peak nudging over 1700. Their Bullet rating? A sneaky 1228 at the height of their bullet-blitzing prowess.

Play Style: A Mix of Brains and Grit

Their success is well rounded with a White win rate of approximately 54%, which is just slightly better than their Black win rate—because let’s be honest, everyone’d rather play white!

Victory, Defeat, and Almost Everything In Between

Elikem has won over a thousand Daily games, with a warrior-like record of 1157 wins, 964 losses, and 67 draws. The numbers reveal a fearless player who isn’t deterred by setbacks—a tilt factor of 30 confirms human emotions are very much in play, but that’s part of the fun!

Memorable Recent Battles

Just recently (June 15, 2023), elikemattah claimed a thrilling victory employing the Four Knights Italian Variation, stunning their opponent with a combination of daring knight sacrifices and precise queen maneuvers — a move familiar to the bold and the brave.

Of course, no chess journey is without its pitfalls. Elikem’s last loss saw them face the Scotch Gambit with a timely resignation when strategy didn’t align with circumstance — but hey, every master in the making has a few tales of defeat to tell!

More Than Just Numbers

Beyond ratings and records, Elikem’s story is about a player who enjoys the game’s intricate dance, whether on Monday mornings with a solid 54.8% win rate or late-night battles at 9 PM, their prime time where they shine brightest.
