Kampkatten: The Grandmaster's Chess Menagerie

In the wild kingdom of chess, few players hunt with the relentless grace and cunning of Kampkatten. As a proud Grandmaster, Kampkatten prowls the 64 squares with a feline finesse that leaves opponents tangled in a web of checkmates and baffled defenses.

Rising Through the Ranks

Born from humble beginnings in 2013 with a Blitz rating of just 1378, Kampkatten has since clawed their way up to a blistering 2854 rating in Blitz as of 2024. Their bullet speed is no less impressive, peaking at 2829, while their rapid play boasts a respectable 2591, proving they're not just fast but strategic too.

Win Rates and Streaks: The Purrfect Record

With an overall blitz win rate above 55%, bullet hovering near 60%, and rapid play not far behind, Kampkatten's paws have delivered 272 wins in blitz and 92 in bullet games alone. Their longest winning streak stretches up to a ferocious 13 consecutive victories with a currently ongoing 4-win streak — enough to make any mouse tremble.

Style and Strategy: A Tactical Predator

Not one to resign prematurely (only about 0.5% early resignations), Kampkatten is an endgame enthusiast, reaching this phase in over 84% of games, often extending the hunted chase to around 83 moves on average before sealing the deal. Known for a dreadful comeback rate of over 90%, this predator never abandons the hunt, turning even lost pieces into opportunities with a perfect 100% win rate after being down material.

Psychological Prowess

Even with a tilt factor of 9—a hint that sometimes the cat’s claws slip—the difference in rated versus casual wins is stark at 42%, showing that when it comes to serious play, Kampkatten transforms into a true apex predator in the chess jungle.

Opponent Records and Habitats

Kampkatten's most recent prey includes a mix of challengers like fuglsanger and christopheryoo, all caught with a perfect 100% win rate — except for a few elusive targets like chess94cu who still has 0%. This feline is no stranger to familiar faces, having crossed swords with “hedgehog280” 17 times and “benecyrill” 14, showing both ferocity and respect within its territory.

Prime Time Hunting

When asked when they’re most lethal, Kampkatten prefers dawn and dusk: mornings at 7–8 am and evenings from 9–11 pm see catlike precision with win rates hovering above 60%, peaking at 80% around 7 am. Daylight hours of 12 pm and 9 am are obviously nap time for this grandmaster, with win rates dipping below 35%.

In essence, Kampkatten is no ordinary player but a majestic beast of the chessboard—quietly stalking, pouncing with calculated mastery, and leaving their opponents wondering what just hissed by. Beware when you hear the soft purring before the storm of a checkmate!
