Strengths and Style

With a comeback rate close to 59%, kahtarii can claw their way back from the brink of defeat better than a cat with nine lives. Despite a tilt factor of 7 (a slight tendency to grumble when things go awry), they maintain solid psychological resilience.

Preferring games that stretch out (an average of ~48 moves in wins), kahtarii is not one to rush into quick victories but rather enjoys the strategic marathon. They also have a respectable White win rate close to 49% and Black win rate near 48%, showing prowess whether attacking first or playing defense.

Early resignations appear about 15% of the time – because why waste energy when the king is toast? However, playground fights for the endgame are common, with kahtarii reaching that critical phase almost 39% of the time.

Favorite Openings

Chess openings are akin to first impressions, and kahtarii has a colorful palette. In rapid games, three openings stand out with impressive success rates:

• Three Knights Opening (67% win rate)
• Undefined openings (almost 69% win rate) – a mysterious trickster’s delight.
• King’s Pawn Opening Kings Knight Variation (50% win rate) – balanced yet bold.

In blitz, kahtarii shines in the Italian Game (nearly 78% wins) and Giuoco Piano Game (a crushing 83% wins) – evidence of sharp tactical vision.

Bullet is no joke either, with impressive stats in the Three Knights Opening (78%) and Scandinavian Defense (64%), showing speed combined with strategic guts.

Battle Record

All glory comes with adversity. Kahtarii's record shows intense battles, totaling over 500 rapid games with almost as many wins as losses. They have a better win ratio against lower-rated opponents (over 76%) but find the challenge stiffer—and more thrilling—against higher-rated adversaries.

Recent Memorable Game

On February 18, 2025, kahtarii clinched a famous victory against the formidable Budzakski12, winning by resignation in a rapid duel. The game was peppered with surprising moves, including snatching a bishop early on, showcasing kahtarii’s fearless spirit against even the toughest rivals.

Fun Fact

Kahtarii’s best hour to play? 8:00 AM proving that maybe the early bird really does catch the chess worm! But beware, playing at 11 AM is a bit of a struggle, with only a 16.67% win rate – coffee might need to kick in by then.
