Profile Summary: Elvis Adadjo (ELVISKOD)

Meet Elvis Adadjo, known in the digital chess halls as ELVISKOD, a relentless rapid chess warrior whose rating rollercoaster is almost as thrilling as his knack for comebacks. With a peak rapid rating of 594 attained in May 2025, Elvis dances boldly on the 64 squares, fighting battles with a win rate tipping just south of 45% in rapid games across over 230 matches.

Elvis isn’t just your average chess player—oh no! He’s the king of wild swings, boasting a comeback rate of 73.68%, meaning when the chips are down, this player pulls rabbits (or rather, knights and bishops) out of nowhere. But beware: with a tilt factor of 8, some say emotional rollercoasters and chess tactics go hand-in-hand here. And those early resignations? Just under 5%, proving Elvis has a fighting spirit (or maybe a knack for knowing when he’s close to a coffee break).

A peek at his openings repertoire reveals a fondness for the Pirc Defense, where Elvis shines brightest with a winning percentage of 65%. He also flirts with the Englund Gambit and the Queens Pawn Opening Chigorin Variation, showing a taste for complexity and surprise. His games often stretch into deep endgames, averaging around 61 moves per win, signaling patience and tenacity—or possibly a love for long, dramatic finishes.

When it comes to time controls, Elvis’s rapid is where the magic happens. Blitz and Bullet? More like a friendly sparring match with a mixed bag of wins and losses—bullet games show that fast decisions aren’t always flawless, but practice makes perfect, right?

Humor is never far from Elvis’s board: his longest winning and losing streaks both clock in at eight games, a poetic symmetry that speaks to the highs and lows of the game. His favorite time to strike? The mysterious early hours around 3 AM, a time when most are asleep but Elvis is wide awake, plotting moves and dreams of checkmates.

To wrap it up: Elvis Adadjo (ELVISKOD) is a spirited, resilient player with a love for complex defenses and thrilling comebacks. Whether winning by resignation or losing to clever mates, his love for the game never fades—even if the scoreboard sometimes does. If you meet him across the board, prepare yourself for a rollercoaster of tactics, unexpected plays, and a friendly fight that’s anything but dull.
