Profile Summary: Clariven Suwandy (aka epiksoybean)

Meet Clariven Suwandy, known around the chess digital campfires as epiksoybean — a modest tactician with a flair for comebacks and a penchant for surprising openings. With a peak rapid rating of 532, blitz at a fiery 658, and a bullet best at 397, Clariven isn’t just playing pieces; they're playing the clock and psychology.

Clariven’s journey through the ranks reveals a player who embraces both the thrill and heartbreak of chess. Their rapid record boasts 148 wins against 121 losses and 27 draws — proof that they always prefer action over snoozing. And when the terrain shifts to blitz or bullet, they dive in headfirst, often juggling over 80 blitz games in a single month. A commendable streak includes an impressive longest winning chain of 8 games, rivaled only by a comparable losing streak (because who doesn’t have a dramatic flair?).

Their favorite playground openings? The King’s Pawn Opening dominates, featuring all its fine variations, alongside a fondness for the Van't Kruijs Opening — where they boast an astonishing 85.7% win rate. This demonstrates a taste for the unconventional, proving that thinking outside the 64 squares is their style.

When the clock ticks toward midday, Clariven hits their peak brainwave zone, capturing victories with unflinching consistency and seldom tilting (a low tilt factor of 8). Their resilience shone through with a comeback rate exceeding 72%, showing that losing a piece just ignites their fighting spirit rather than signaling defeat.

Fans and foes alike will remember Clariven for the signature move: an aggressive early g4 pawn thrust in the King’s Knight Variation — “Why not?” they seem to say — rattling opponents, forcing errors, and often ending the game in a spectacular resignation or checkmate.

Off the board, Clariven might be the most humble chess warrior you'll meet. But on it? Expect thrilling games with a mix of rapid tactical fireworks, slow-building endgames averaging 54 moves, and a sneaky strategy that turns the tables when things get tough.

Whether you meet them launching an audacious Scandinavian Defense gambit, or executing a swift victory with the Van’t Kruijs Opening, Clariven Suwandy remains a player to watch — a true epiksoybean who keeps chess exciting with every click and move.
