Marceli Kapica (kapec107)
Marceli Kapica, best known online as kapec107, is a rapid chess enthusiast with a flair for the King's Pawn openings and a track record that suggests he's a tricky opponent who loves to keep his competitors on their toes. With a peak rapid rating of 517 achieved in early 2021 and a recent surge to a solid 514 in mid-2025, Marceli has proven his staying power in the game, though a few ups and downs keep things interesting.
Marceli's chess journey is marked by resilience and tactical flair. His comeback rate stands at an impressive 62.87%, indicating that when the going gets tough, he doesn’t just get going—he rallies hard. While he occasionally bids games farewell early with a resignation rate just over 10%, his average games tend to stretch into a thoughtful 50+ moves per win, demonstrating patience and endgame prowess.
An astute strategist, Marceli excels in the King's Pawn Opening: King's Knight Variation, boasting a healthy win rate of 53.57% over 56 games. Other favored openings include the Leonardis Variation and the Scandinavian Defense Mieses Kotrc Variation, where his winning percentages remain admirable. However, when facing the Queen’s Pawn Opening Mikenas Defense or the Philidor Defense, Marceli admits that his luck takes a bit of a hit.
With a noted preference for playing and winning early morning games—his absolute best play time is 1 AM—Marceli might just be the night owl of the online chess world. His psychological stamina is solid, with a low tilt factor of 9, meaning he rarely lets frustrations cloud his judgment (though every player has their kryptonite).
Marathon gaming sessions? No problem. Marceli’s average game lasts nearly 57 moves when victorious, revealing a thoughtful, methodical approach often leading to checkmate — or a well-earned resignation from his opponents. Speaking of which, his most recent victory brilliantly ended by resignation showcases his knack for squeezing the life out of tricky positions.
When he isn’t plotting grand strategies and trapping knights, Marceli likes to keep his win/loss ratio respectable across rapid, blitz, and daily formats. With a few losses sprinkled among over 700 rapid games, a single lightning bolt blitz win, and a daily peak rating of 300, Marceli’s chess tale reads like a charming mix of grinding experience and flashes of brilliance.
In short, Marceli Kapica is the kind of player who might not have a grandmaster title (yet), but certainly has enough grit, guile, and a pinch of cheeky brilliance to keep you guessing. Whether you're playing him at an ungodly hour or just hopping on for a blitz game, watch out—kapec107 might just checkmate your plans!
