Blay Paw (aka kapawmoo10) - The Tenacious Tactician

Blay Paw is a chess player whose journey through the 64 squares is as colorful as it is intriguing. Known online as kapawmoo10, Blay has mastered the art of resilience, embodying the eternal hope that every lost battle is just a prelude to the next comeback.

Ratings and Style

In 2025, Blay's peak ratings tell a story of a player climbing steadily, with a Bullet max rating of 409, Blitz at 297, Rapid peaking at 233, and a Daily high soaring to 800. While these numbers might not topple the grandmasters just yet, they reflect a player with spirit and a fair share of battles fought (and lost) with courage.

Notoriously, Blay has an early resignation rate of 42%, probably settling for a quick "I’m out" when the going gets tough. But when the endgame arrives, Blay isn’t one to shy away, with over 13% games reaching the final stretch. Average moves per win hover near 24, signaling a mix of cautious strategy and daring tactics.

Opening Repertoire

Blay experiments with a diverse arsenal of openings: From the Bishop's Opening (a favorite with over 9 games) to the King's Pawn Opening and the daring Scandinavian Defense. Highlights include surprising 100% win rates in flashy lines like Pirc Defense and Alekhine's Defense in Rapid games, proving a flair for unorthodox and aggressive play.

Tactical Tendencies and Mindset

Combacks are Blay’s middle name, boasting a respectable 45% comeback rate after falling behind, though the scoreboard tells a tale of battles sometimes lost quickly (59% one-sided losses). The tilt factor is a low 7, which means Blay usually keeps cool—except maybe after that seventh consecutive loss streak.

And about timing? Don’t challenge Blay before afternoon tea: the best time for clutch wins is the magical hour of 3 PM, with a perfect 100% win rate recorded then. Night owls beware—some hours show room for improvement!

Recent Heroes and Hiccups

The most recent triumph came slicing down the King’s Fianchetto Opening on June 3, 2025, winning on time against "matuzita." Victory was snatched amidst a chaotic battle of queens and pawns, proving that patience and timing are Blay’s secret weapons.

Losses are part of the journey: the latest downfall against "snoopinhoso" ended in an abandoned game, reminding everyone even great warriors have their off days.

Quirks and Fun Facts

• Blay’s favorite color is not on the board, but likely black—winning more games as Black (42.65%) than White (37.14%).
• Despite the tactical outlook, Blay has encountered nearly twice as many losses as wins overall, inspiring fellow players with grim determination.
• Reigning champion of “winning by checkmate” category with 21 wins by mate — because sometimes it’s better to finish with style!

In the end, Blay Paw’s chess chronicles are a heartening reminder: It's not always about the rating—it’s the stories behind each move, the gambits taken, and the laughs had after a spectacular blunder. Keep an eye on kapawmoo10; the best chapters might still be a few moves away.
