Profile Summary: KatEvance
Meet KatEvance, a passionate and persistent warrior of the 64 squares who has been steadily climbing the ranks from the mysterious depths of sub-1000 rapid ratings in 2024 to a respectable peak Rapid rating of 1610 early in 2024. While not yet a grandmaster, KatEvance shows the heart and grit of a true contender, with a playing style marked by resilience, tactical awareness, and a penchant for dramatic comebacks.
Playing Style & Personality
KatEvance prefers the Rapid format, where the battles unfold with a thoughtful yet spirited tempo. With an early resignation rate of just 2.46%, this player rarely throws in the towel without a fight. The average number of moves per win (~60) and loss (~69) suggests epic duels that could rival a fantasy novel in twists and turns.
Not one to crumble easily, KatEvance boasts a phenomenal 80.4% comeback rate after trailing behind, proving that the game is never over until the king falls. Although the tilt factor is at a modest 10 (suggesting occasional frustration), the player’s ability to keep calm and claw back is nothing short of impressive.
Drawing from a rich repertoire of openings, KatEvance loves surprising opponents with the Scotch Game and the ever-controversial Englund Gambit. The Scotch Game stands out as a particular favorite, with a solid win rate close to 57% in Rapid games, showing a taste for open, tactical battles.
Recent Highlights
In the most recent games played in June 2025, KatEvance outsmarted opponents like Travellingmannen and Manish8368 using sharp, aggressive play and timely sacrifices, resulting in wins by resignation. However, losses to players like Dalvys and JustNoob20000 prove that every chess journey has its unavoidable defeats, especially when the opposition plays a sneaky checkmate or forces game abandonment.
Time Machine & Mood
Interestingly, KatEvance’s best time of day for chess brilliance is at 4 AM—a time when most mortals sleep, but our hero is sharpening their queen’s gambit or plotting a knight fork. Perhaps coffee (or sheer stubbornness) fuels these nocturnal feats.
