Kam_418: The Bishop's Opening Enthusiast
Meet Kam_418, a chess player who has mastered the art of tugging at bishops and pawns alike, mostly wielding the Bishop's Opening like a knight wields a sword – with surprising flair and unpredictable results. With a peak bullet rating of 1373 and rapid rating climbing up to 1158, Kam is a fierce competitor in time battles, although Blitz appears to be their Achilles' heel with a modest peak rating of 485.
Kam’s games often unfold in a battlefield of bold early moves, showing a not-so-secret love for the Bishop’s Opening and its Berlin and Boi variations — altogether played over 250 times! Among their repertoire, the Vienna Game Anderssen Defense stands out with an impressive 64% win rate, proving that when Kam’s on form, the results speak volumes.
Tactical wizardry? Check. With a comeback rate of nearly 78%, Kam has the uncanny ability to fight back even when down material, showing nerves of steel and a penchant for never giving up easily. Though the tilt factor of 6 hints that losing streaks hurt a bit, this player knows how to pick themselves up and dive back into the fray.
Kam shines brightest in the wee hours — literally! Their best playtime is 2 AM, achieving a 100% win rate at this spooky hour. Early morning moves may be sleepy, but Kam’s sharp, like a bishop slicing diagonals through the darkness.

A Sample of Victory
In a recent rapid game against gene808, Kam pulled off a triumphant win in the classic Bishop's Opening, outwitting the opponent with clever positional play and finishing with a timely checkmate — or perhaps a win on time. It’s hard to tell, but who’s counting clocks anyway?
Quirks & Style
- Average games are lengthy affairs: ~55 moves per win, proving Kam’s not a fan of quick dinners, but rather marathons.
- White and Black win rates hover evenly around 48%, proving versatility — though slightly favoring the first move.
- Endgames pop up in over 57% of matches, showing a fighting spirit that lasts until the kings fall.
- Early resignations are rare (~3.6%), because Kam knows every pawn has a story.
All in all, Kam_418 is a dedicated player with a penchant for diagonal strikes, strategic patience, and some quirky hour-specific brilliance. If you ever cross paths on the virtual boards, beware of those bishops – they might just sneak a checkmate while you blink!
