Profile Summary: karrimz

Username: karrimz

Meet karrimz, the rapid chess competitor whose games could best be described as a rollercoaster ride through the kingdom of pawns and bishops. With a peak Rapid rating of 806 achieved in January 2025, karrimz has shown flashes of brilliance — and a few moments of “wait, how did that happen?”

Style of Play

Not a quitter by nature (0% early resignation rate), karrimz likes to engage deep into the endgame, reaching it in 75% of matches. That said, patience is tested with an average of 42 moves per win and a somewhat lengthier 61.5 moves per loss. Opponents can breathe easy: karrimz's resilience after losing a piece remains a work in progress, with no wins after sacrifice setbacks just yet.

Recent Battles

karrimz’s most recent victory came against captain-zain, a frequent adversary in rapid games, winning by resignation in a tactical tussle where patience and persistence paid off. On the flip side, time management has been a nemesis — with two recent losses due to running out of time, proving that even in the digital era, the clock is a ruthless opponent.

Chess Personality

With a tilt factor of 2, karrimz is moderately susceptible to frustration — possibly because watching the clock tick down while losing can be an excruciating reminder that time really does matter. But hey, every grandmaster started somewhere, and every game teaches that kings can fall, but spirit rises!

Whether it's refining openings (currently experimenting with some unknown ones) or mastering the clock, karrimz’s journey is all about growth, grit, and the occasional game-winning blunder that keeps the game fun.

So here’s to karrimz, a player who proves chess is not just about checks and mates, but about the stories behind the moves — and yes, sometimes about losing to time even when your pieces are still on the board.
