Meet kahten, a resilient and relentless chess enthusiast whose battles on the 64 squares reveal a player both passionate and persistent. With a peak Rapid rating of 621 in early 2024, and steadily climbing Blitz and Bullet ratings peaking at 521 and 422 respectively, kahten demonstrates a well-rounded skill set across all fast-paced formats.
Not one to shy away from tough competition, kahten has played over 2,100 Bullet games and maintained a near-even win/loss ratio, showcasing nerves of steel and the tactical flair necessary to survive the bullet arena where time is the true opponent.

Known for an impressive comeback rate of nearly 74%, kahten often bounces back from adversity like a chessboard phoenix. The psychological battlefield gets tricky here too, with an overall tilt factor of 12, meaning even kahten sometimes loses the cool—because hey, who doesn’t get frustrated when losing to a sneaky gambit or a missed fork?
Ever strategic, kahten’s average moves per win hover around 47, suggesting a patient approach, while losses tend to linger longer in games averaging nearly 54 moves—proof that kahten fights to the bitter end before conceding defeat. A fan of varied openings, kahten thrives in the Unknown territory, especially in Rapid games, but also shows prowess with the Petrovs Defense and Kings Pawn variations in Blitz and Bullet modes.
When asked about the best time to challenge kahten, the answer is clear—around 7 PM—the time when chess magic (and perhaps caffeine) kicks in. Beware, as kahten’s win rate by hour spikes dramatically at this hour, hinting at an uncanny ability to harness the twilight powers of the chess gods.
Notably, kahten holds a longest winning streak of 16 games, proving stubbornness and skill can blend into a formidable streak of success. Equally impressive is kahten’s record against recurring opponents like cleverfatty, with a dazzling near 94% win rate—no easy feat in the world of rapidly evolving chess rivals.
Whether grinding through bullet blizzards, tactically navigating Blitz skirmishes, or strategizing in Rapid duels, kahten is the kind of player who makes the chessboard an unpredictable and exciting arena. Expect smart sacrifices, surprising comebacks, and the occasional heroic resignation that screams “I’ll be back!”
