Profile of Kaan Akgul (Username: Kaan2327)
Meet Kaan Akgul, an adventurous chess warrior navigating the wild battlefield of online chess with a rating rollercoaster that would make even the most seasoned thrill-seeker dizzy. Known in the chess kingdom as Kaan2327, this player has experienced the highs and lows of the game — from a rapid peak rating of 1200 to a blitz zenith of 745 in May 2025. If chess ratings were a stock market, Kaan’s portfolio is definitely action-packed!
Kaan's style? A fascinating blend of resilience and fiery tactical spirit. With a comeback rate north of 67%, when the going gets tough, so does Kaan. Early resignations happen about 12% of the time — hey, even the best know when not to force a losing battle. His average winning games span a spirited 58 moves, showing not only endurance but love for a good, long fight on the 64 squares.
Delving into openings, Kaan shows a preference for solid and flexible strategies, particularly favoring the Kings Fianchetto Opening with an impressive 59% win rate in blitz, and the Indian Game dominating his rapid wins with nearly 70%. Conversely, the Modern Defense Norwegian Defense proves to be a bit of a nemesis with a sub-30% success rate — a reminder that all heroes have their kryptonite.
When it comes to time formats, Kaan is a versatile fighter. Whether blitz or bullet, rapid or daily, he’s been around since 2013 on daily, proving patience and longevity. He’s conquered the bullet format with a respectable peak close to 390, and rapid battles with a peak over 1200, almost casual by grandmaster standards but impressive for the average amateur.
Beware opponents like ahahamed88, israelc2003, and mialetizia - Kaan claims a 100% win record against these fierce challengers. But watch out for satyabrata_01 and name8373, who have enjoyed a clean sheet on Kaan’s scorecard in recent clashes. Chess, after all, is a game of balance!
Outside the numbers, what makes Kaan special is the sheer spirit in those wins and losses. His longest winning streak hit a solid 8 games, while the longest losing streak taught him humility with a tough 15-game slide — but if you think that one slump defined him, think again. His tilt factor is a modest 15%, meaning he keeps his cool better than your average player who flings the mouse after a surprise blunder.
Fun fact: Kaan’s best time of day to conquer opponents is right at midnight. As the clock strikes twelve, magic happens — or so the stats say. Maybe it’s the bewitching power of moonlight or just late-night caffeine-fueled inspiration.
