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.
