Meet kavishac22, a rapid chess enthusiast who prefers to think fast and move faster, mostly in the rapid time control—because who has time for long, drawn-out games when you're busy conquering the online chess world? Starting from a humble rating around 400 in early 2022, they've consistently fought their way up to a peak rating of 1194 in June 2025, proving that persistence (and probably a secret stash of caffeine) pays off.
Known for their tactical flair and resilience, kavishac22 exhibits an impressive 76% comeback rate—even when the odds are against them, they aren’t afraid to mount a gritty fightback. However, watch out for the psychological tilt; even the best of us have off days, and kavishac22 has a modest tilt factor of 13. But hey, nobody's perfect, but their endgame skills are pretty sharp, engaging in over half their games with this final phase.
Preferred openings reflect a penchant for classic struggles with a twist: the Queen's Pawn Opening - Zukertort Chigorin Variation is their opening of choice, boasting a solid 51% win rate. When playing the French Defense Knight Variation, they even manage to tilt the scales with a 54% win rate. As white or black, they mix it up with Reti, Nimzowitsch Defense, and the King's Pawn variations, sometimes drawing the curtains early with a respectful 5.6% early resignation rate (perhaps when the coffee kicks in a tad late).
Playing mostly in the evenings, especially around midnight (their best time to play), kavishac22 loves a good challenge between 9 PM and midnight local time when the grandmaster muse strikes. Their games are as varied as their opponent list, having faced everyone from longtime rivals like aniruddhtewari (with a spirited 55% win rate) to the mysterious fforster1, who unfortunately has a rough unbeaten streak against our hero.
Fun fact:
Despite fierce competition, kavishac22 keeps a cool head and an average move length that suggests they enjoy long strategic battles, with an average game length of about 60 moves – perfect for those who like a good old-fashioned duel, not just quick skirmishes.
