Meet Kacper: The Rapid Rook of the 2020s

Known in the chess universe by the username KacPL777, Kacper is a spirited player who has experienced the full rollercoaster ride of rapid chess battles in 2025. With a peak rapid rating nudging 562 early in the year, and a daily rating soaring to an impressive 840, he’s clearly no stranger to the intensity of the 64 squares.

Kacper favors aggressive and classic openings, shining particularly well with the King's Pawn Opening where he boasts a proud 66.67% win rate over 48 games. His sharp tactical awareness shows in his 58.66% comeback rate — because why settle for a boring draw when you can turn the tables and thrill the audience? When things go sideways by losing a piece, he still manages to turn nearly half of those games to his favor, proving that all is not lost until the checkmate hits.

Games are a marathon for Kacper rather than a sprint: with average wins taking about 47 moves, this player loves squeezing every opportunity from the middlegame to the endgame. And yes, resilience is part of the package—while he never shies from early resignations (about 15% of the time), his endgame frequency is high, demonstrating a taste for the classic battle of wits.

Although the current winning streak might be at a humble zero, don’t let that fool you—Kacper’s longest winning streak is a respectable 8 games, and he’s battled through tough losing streaks of up to 5 consecutive matches. Strategy and endurance go hand in hand here.
