Player Profile: Kannan1698
Meet Kannan1698, a gallant warrior of the 64 squares who has shown a tenacious spirit in the online chess battlefield. With a peak rapid rating of 831 achieved in May 2025, Kannan1698 is no stranger to the thrill of close contests, clocking an impressive 129 wins against 111 losses in rapid games alone. Sure, the scoreboard tilts occasionally, but every loss seems to fuel that fierce comeback energy — his comeback rate shines at a startling 76.15%, proving this player rarely goes down without a fight.
Favorite openings? Kannan1698 enjoys mixing it up but seems particularly cozy with the Queen's Pawn Opening, boasting a perfect 100% win rate over 6 games — talk about reliable first moves! Other openings like the King's Pawn and Van 't Kruijs keep the competition guessing, both with a steady 50% win rate. However, the Center Game might need a little more love, with its modest 12.5% win rate.
Diving deeper, this player’s style is a mix of patience and persistence, with an endgame frequency of over 63%. Kannan1698 favors longer battles — averaging nearly 57 moves per win and even more per loss — a testament to a never-give-up attitude, even if it means teeth-gritting defense through tough positions. Black pieces seem to bring out the best moves, too, with a slightly better win rate (54.26%) compared to White.
Timing is everything, and Kannan1698 has a quirky charm here — the best time to catch this player firing on all cylinders is at dawn (around 5 AM!). In fact, morning hours show some of the highest win rates, including a perfect 100% win rate at 5 AM and 4 AM. Whether this means a strict morning routine or just relentless caffeine is up for debate.
Like any true competitor, Kannan1698 faces a bit of a “tilt factor” of 7 — so watch out if you catch them on a losing streak, which is currently six games long. But don’t let that fool you; resilience is key, and the longest winning streak is a solid 7 games. Opponents beware: the player has a mixed record against many, but some like sergeiglu, al1ban, and irwan_batalengsar have tasted defeat more than once.
When it comes to finishing games, Kannan1698 is not shy to resign when necessary (~1.74% early resignation rate), and when victorious, wins often come with a flourish—61 wins by checkmate and 61 by resignation. Last victories show a sharp tactical eye and endurance, hammering down foes even in complex Queen's Pawn positions with timely checkmates and strategic pressure.
In short, Kannan1698 is a rapidly improving, battle-hardened player with a morning warrior’s spirit, a penchant for strategic endgames, and a dash of those classic chess ups and downs. Whether you’re a fan or a future opponent, one thing’s certain — this username is a force worth tuning in for.
