Kacper Kożuch

Kacper Kożuch (aka KakerX)

Meet Kacper Kożuch, a persistent chess warrior who doesn't back down easily — unless it’s to evaluate the best time for an early resignation, which happens about 6% of the time. Kacper's journey through rapid, blitz, and bullet games is a saga of peaks, valleys, comebacks, and yes, the occasional blunder that even grandmasters might shudder at.

Rating Rollercoaster

At his peak, Kacper reached a rapid rating of 993 in early 2021, blitzed up to 890, and blitz-burned his way to a bullet max of 514 just this last year. Yet, in true underdog fashion, recent years show a steady dip — proving chess is a marathon, not a sprint (or maybe he’s just perfecting the art of dramatic comebacks).

Playing Style & Personality

With a win rate of 43% playing White and 40% playing Black, Kacper’s style is balanced but unpredictable — keeping opponents guessing. He loves long, strategic endgames where patience shines: his average winning game lasts nearly 49 moves, while in losses he endures about 56 moves. A defender at heart, his comeback rate is a heroic 66%, showing his knack for turning the tables when the chips (or pieces) are down.

Fair warning to his rivals: Kacper’s psychological tilt factor is a modest 8, which means he’s seen some ups and downs but keeps his cool more often than not. His secret weapons? Early morning games (8 AM is prime time) and lightning-fast bullet bouts, where reflexes meet recklessness.

Favorite Chess Openings

Kacper has a mysterious favorite known only as "Top Secret," dominating many of his games across formats but with a humble win rate around 27% in rapid and 42% in blitz — proving that even secret weapons need refinement. He dabbles occasionally in classic openings like the Four Knights Game (with a 100% win rate in rare blitz battles) and the occasional Petrovs Defense or Sicilian Old Sicilian Variation, though these haven’t yielded the best results recently.

Recent Highlight

In a thrilling recent match on May 17, 2025, playing as Black under the username KakerX, Kacper executed a flawless checkmate in a Four Knights Game Scotch Variation against Dipen20. The final blow was a slick queen-and-rook finish that left the opponent no room to breathe. Checkmate in style!

Opponent Records & Rivalries

Among his common sparring partners, Kacper has faced pudd1ngu 30 times and aleoro123 14 times, with mixed results. While some opponents like nikaboy69420 and jxsaia have tasted a complete loss, others like kaqu2 have managed to get the better of him now and then. Clearly, every game is a new story.

Fun Facts

• When Kacper wins, he tends to wrap up the game quicker (average 49 moves) than when he’s losing (average 56 moves), a sign he battles on even in the toughest positions.
• His best time to play chess is surprisingly early at 8 AM, when his win rate hits 100% (perfect statistics for morning warriors!).
• He has a curious zero-win record in some classical openings but shines in his top-secret choices — whatever those may be!

Whether you're rooting for a comeback or just here to watch some clever checkmates and near-misses, Kacper Kożuch’s chess journey is an entertaining mix of tenacity, tactical flair, and unforgettable moments. Keep an eye on KakerX — the chessboard is never boring when he’s on it!
