Profile: Halil03Kurt
Meet Halil03Kurt, a rapid chess enthusiast whose rating journey resembles a thrilling rollercoaster ride – with more ups than downs, but enough dips to keep spectators on the edge of their seats. While the peak rating of 680, achieved in January 2025, might not qualify Halil as the next Magnus Carlsen just yet, it definitely screams "watch out, this wolf is on the prowl!"
Playing Style & Strengths
Halil’s style is a charming mixture of calculated aggression and occasional graceful resignations – clocking an early resignation rate of about 17%, showing he knows when to cut his losses (or maybe he's just got a flair for drama). Games are often long and tense, with an average winning game stretching close to 42 moves. He's comfortable playing both White, with a win rate just over 53%, and Black, where he still puts up a fierce fight with a 46% win rate.
Opening Repertoire
Like a chef with too many spices, Halil doesn’t stick to just one opening. He loves the classic King’s Pawn Opening, playing it over 220 times with about a 51% win rate – not bad for sticking to what works! The Bishop’s Opening seems to be his secret weapon, boasting his best win percentage of nearly 60%. On the other hand, the King’s Pawn Opening - King’s Knight Variation is a bit like a fickle friend, with Halil winning only 40% of those matchups.
Battles and Streaks
In the heat of battle, Halil can hit fiery winning streaks – his longest streak was 9 games, proving that when he’s in the zone, he’s a force to be reckoned with. However, like all mortals, he's not immune to losing streaks either, with a longest stretch of 8 consecutive losses. His current losing streak of 2 just means he's sharpening his claws for a comeback.
Psych Out & Comebacks
Psychologically, Halil maintains a low tilt factor of 8 – apparently, raging at the board is so last season. His comeback rate is an impressive 50%, showing he’s not one to wave the white flag prematurely. Plus, his knack for clawing back from losing a piece with a near 39% win rate proves he's mentally tough and a bit of a chess Houdini.
Time to Shine
Halil's best hours are as nocturnal as a wise owl – with a 67% win rate around midnight and early mornings, proving late-night tactics and espresso shots fuel his victories. Oddly enough, on Tuesdays, his win rate approaches 60%, possibly because that's when the chess stars align.
Epic Wins & Not-so-fun Abandonments
Halil’s favorite way to win? By delivering the classic checkmate – he has sealed 173 victories with that flourish. Resignation is a less flattering but frequent end to his losses, happening 232 times, because sometimes even the fiercest wolf knows when the hunt is over. His most recent victory was a sharp and sneaky checkmate against oskar7072, demonstrating his ability to pounce elegantly. However, his recent losses hint at some ghostly opponents (looking at you, cheethuhhh) being tough nuts to crack.
Overall Record
- Rapid Games Played: 656+

Halil03Kurt is a passionate rapid chess player who embraces the thrill of ups and downs with humor and perseverance. Maybe not a grandmaster yet, but definitely a grand character of the chessboard who’s chasing the wolf pack’s leaderboard with every move!
