Meet Kavinda Thimira (kavinda_nc)

When you dive into the whirlwind world of online blitz chess, one name consistently pops up with a cheeky grin and a well-timed checkmate: Kavinda Thimira, also known by the handle kavinda_nc.

A Rating Rollercoaster

Kavinda’s chess journey is a bit like an epic chess game — full of ups, downs, and brilliant tactics. Since 2013, he has battled through thousands of blitz games, peaking impressively at a 2010 blitz rating in September 2016 and an equally fierce 1941 bullet peak that December. Daily games show a slightly softer, more classical touch with a peak rating of 1735, while rapid games have hovered around the 1379 mark.

The Style: Tactical Wizardry with a Hint of Drama

Kavinda tends to play the long game — his average moves per win clock in around 58, which means he’s not one for quick draws. Instead, he savors the thrill of the endgame, appearing there in over 60% of his games. And don’t be fooled if he’s behind in material; his comeback rate of nearly 75% proves he’s the Houdini of the chessboard, turning losing positions into victories with flair.

Winning Streaks & Tilt Factor

With a longest winning streak of 33 games, Kavinda can go on a tear, reminding his opponents that consistency is key — or at least get extremely lucky! His tilt factor is a modest 12, which means he tries hard not to flip the board over after a bad move, but hey, nobody's perfect when the pressure’s on.

Opening Secrets

Kavinda’s favorite weapon? That’s classified... well, sort of! Labeled as "Top Secret", this opening has netted him over 60% wins in blitz matches, proving that mystery is indeed the spice of chess.

Opponent Annals

He’s met some familiar foes multiple times — opponents like foxtha876 and traz_2 have battled Kavinda upwards of 40-plus games each. Certain players seem to fall prey swiftly to Kavinda’s strategies, as evidenced by his 100% win rates against a slew of accounts. His secret? Maybe charm, or just relentless pressure on the board.

When to Challenge Him?

If you want to see him at his best, try your luck around 8 PM — that’s Kavinda’s prime time with a blazing win rate of nearly 79%! Early mornings and late nights? Not so much — but perhaps that’s when the caffeine kicks in.

Recent Battles

His latest win was a sharp victory against broker73 in a tense Closed Sicilian Defense, where Kavinda’s patience paid off beautifully in a 55-move masterpiece. His recent losses, though fewer, show that even masters stumble now and then — all part of the grand chess dance.

Final Thoughts

Kavinda Thimira is not just a player; he’s a blitz gladiator, a bullet warrior, and sometimes a daily chess philosopher. Whether outpacing opponents in lightning-fast games or maneuvering with calm precision in classical matches, he reminds us all that chess isn’t just about pieces on a board — it’s about resilience, style, and a touch of mystery.
