Player Profile: I_know_that_one

Meet I_know_that_one, a chess enthusiast who’s been navigating the battlefield of 64 squares with a uniquely adventurous spirit. With a Rapid rating bouncing from a promising 1368 down to a humbling 498 in 2023, this player exemplifies the highs and lows of chess life — proving that sometimes, it’s not about how high you climb, but how entertaining your fall is.

Despite a modest 1600 Daily rating from just a single game (and a single loss to remember), Rapid chess is where the real story unfolds: 161 games with 58 wins and a stubborn determination visible even in 94 losses. Bullet chess, however, remains a playful battlefield with 8 games played and lessons learned the hard way (0 wins, 8 losses — hey, who said speed chess was easy?).

Playing Style & Tactics

Known for an impressive 62% comeback rate and an unbelievable 100% win rate after losing a piece, I_know_that_one never gives up easily — if at all! However, the occasional “one-sided loss” (about 17.5% of losses) reminds us that even heroes have their off days. Early resignation is rare, only about 7.8%, showing a tenacity that will make opponents sweat.

Their games tend to be thoughtfully prolonged, with wins averaging 55 moves and losses 50, hinting at a love for the dramatic endgame where nearly half of all finished battles are decided.

Signature Openings

I_know_that_one prefers to keep opponents on their toes, frequently diving into the Nimzowitsch Larsen Attack and its modern and classical variations, boasting win rates hovering between 28% and 45%. The Reti Opening Queenside Fianchetto Variation is a personal favorite, with an impressive 57% win rate — a cheeky nod to strategic finesse.

Psychological Notes & Quirks

The tilt factor stands at a modest 18%, indicating occasional frustration (because who doesn’t get a little riled after a sneaky checkmate?). Rated games are taken seriously; wins there outpace casual victories by over 34%. Also notable: I_know_that_one is more successful during quieter weekday afternoons and mornings, with win peaks on Wednesdays and Mondays, particularly around 9-10 a.m. and 3 p.m. — clearly a master of day-time chess naps.

Opponent Dynamics

Facing frequent rivals like yashuu_07 and sunny_chaudhary70, I_know_that_one has shown the art of persistence even when the odds tilt unfavorably. Meanwhile, some opponents have suffered total wipeouts on I_know_that_one’s watch (looking at you, dontollllllll and pratham675), proving this player’s resilience and tactical wit.
