Welcome to the tale of KarSam08, a rapidly rising star on the chessboard, whose journey is as epic as a grandmaster's gambit but sprinkled with just the right dash of humor and grit.

Rating Evolution & Triumphs

Since 2022, KarSam08 has been making steady climbs on the rating ladder, starting with a modest Rapid rating of 752 and skyrocketing to a solid 946 by early 2025. While Bullet remains the least favorite battlefield (with only 2 games and zero wins), Rapid time controls are where they truly shine.

Battlefield Stats

• Rapid: Over 4,000 games with nearly as many wins (2004) as losses (1978), and a respectable draw count to keep things interesting.
• Blitz: A closer contest with 178 wins and 184 losses, signaling some thrilling back-and-forth duels.
• Bullet: Brief foray, but let's say it was a quick exit!

Playing Style

KarSam08 can be described as a fighter who refuses to quit early, with a low early resignation rate (~3.8%). Endgames appear roughly half the time, showcasing stamina and strategic depth. They tend to stretch games a bit longer in losses (average 55 moves) versus wins (~50 moves), showing a dogged determination even when the chips are down.

Psychological Chess Arena

Here’s where it gets fun: KarSam08 has a tilt factor of 11—which means losing a game can sting but not so much to lose control completely. Given their impressive 59.6% comeback rate and an astonishing 100% win rate after losing a piece, it's clear this player is the chess equivalent of a phoenix rising from ashes, ready to turn any disaster into an opportunity.

Rivalries & Opponents

Despite a vast pool of opponents, KarSam08 maintains a perfect win streak against some recent foes like “diez34_again” and “ermiya16,” while others like “mianguyen” remain elusive. One could joke this player's live wire is on fire—or perhaps it’s the opening secrets kept well-guarded!

Best Times to Challenge

Better to catch them off-guard on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon — Saturday's win rate dips to about 46%, and Sundays aren’t much better. But on weekdays, especially Thursday evenings and Monday afternoons, be prepared for some seriously tough competition.

Fun Fact

KarSam08's win rate playing White is a solid 50.6%, proving they're a worthy challenger whether holding the board’s light or dark squares—though Black games come a close second.

In summary, KarSam08 is a dedicated Rapid and Blitz enthusiast, with a playful spirit and no shortage of resilience, making every game a thrilling ride for both opponents and onlookers alike. Want to test your mettle? Just remember: they NEVER give up (and neither should you!).
