Maxii Kaoo (aka gotyuuu) - The Chess Adventurer

Meet Maxii Kaoo, or as known on the boards, gotyuuu, a chess player whose journey is a rollercoaster ride through openings, middle games, and sometimes very early resignations. With a peak Rapid rating of 1308 reached in March 2021 and a Blitz peak rating touching 1362, Maxii dances on the chessboard with both triumphs and lessons learned.

Playing Style & Personality

Maxii’s style could be best described as “endgame enthusiast with a touch of early surrender.” With an early resignation rate of about 27%, they’re not shy to call it quits when a clever opponent sneaks in surprise tactics. But don’t mistake quitting for weakness: they fight fiercely, especially in endgames which show up about 30% of their matches.

Their game length averages around 38 moves to win and a slightly longer 41 moves when things don’t turn out their way. Whether wielding White or Black, Maxii prefers the darker side slightly more with a 33% win rate from Black, over 25% with White.

Opening Choices & Notable Performances

When it comes to openings, gotyuuu has explored a fascinating mix. The Queen’s Pawn Opening - Chigorin Variation is a particular bright spot, scoring a perfect 100% win rate in their limited games there, proving they can mix creativity with precision.

The Sicilian Defense has been a bit of a nemesis with a 0% win rate, although they do manage a respectable 50% win rate in the Staunton Cochrane Variation - showing Maxii's willingness to tinker and experiment.

Battle Record & Rivalries

With 5 wins, 10 losses, and 3 draws in Rapid games, plus a Blitz record of 1 win and 1 loss, Maxii is no stranger to the dynamic and fast-paced battlefield of chess. The longest winning streak is a proud 3 games, while the longest losing streak — a humbling 5 games — reminds us even the best have their off days.

Fierce rivalries exist! Maxii has squared off 14 times against radar080 with a 28.57% win rate, while broims has been a friendly nemesis with a perfect 100% win rate. Meanwhile, xkao_88 has proven tricky with zero wins for Maxii.

Time & Tactical Trends

Maxii’s best tactical moments shine around 2 PM local time, boasting a 66.67% win rate — a clue that late afternoon brain power is where victory lurks. Their comeback rate clocks in at 50%, showing they don’t give up easily once behind. However, battles after losing a piece show only a 20% chance at victory, reaffirming that every chess piece counts!

Memorable Games

One of the crowning moments came on March 15, 2021, where Maxii, playing Black, brilliantly checkmated their opponent against broims in just 17 moves employing the Owens Defense — a victory that surely brought smiles and perhaps spontaneous happy dances.

Not every day is a win though; the most recent defeat was against xkao_88 in late 2022, falling to the Sicilian Defense and Grob Opening combo. But hey, every loss is just a setup for a greater comeback!

In Summary

Maxii Kaoo, a player who embraces the unpredictable nature of chess with humor and heart. They’re still climbing, learning, and perfecting tactics — proving that in the chess universe, the journey is just as important as the rating points. Whether crushing opponents with a well-placed knight or gracefully conceding defeat, gotyuuu brings passion and personality to the 64 squares.
