Cha Cha

Profile: Cha Cha (aka Keinashoo)

Known in the chess realm as Keinashoo, Cha Cha is a rapid and daily enthusiast whose journey through time controls is nothing short of an epic rollercoaster. With a rapid rating peak of 237 and an even flashier blitz top score of 249, Cha Cha has proven to be a fierce contender, especially when the clock ticks down and pressure mounts.

A Chess Tale of Triumphs and Trials

Cha Cha's style blends tactical resilience with occasional strategic whimsy. Despite a somewhat rugged win/loss record in rapid (29 wins vs. 52 losses), their comeback rate is a champ-worthy 69.7%, showing that giving up is simply not in their vocabulary. Their longest winning streak is a commendable 4 games, but beware the longest losing streak of 8 — the dark side of the force which Cha Cha is valiantly fighting back against!

Opening Moves — Where Cha Cha Strikes

Queens Pawn Opening is the playground where Cha Cha finds most success, boasting a respectable 53% win rate in rapid games. Alekhine’s Defense? Oh yes, a 66.67% win rate here too, confirming this player likes a little spice and surprise in their game. Beware if you fancy the Englund Gambit though — its rap sheet with this player is less than stellar (0 wins in 6 rapid games).

Performance by Time Control

• Rapid: 29 Wins / 52 Losses / 7 Draws — prefers complexity and longer strategizing.
• Blitz: Still warming up with 3 Wins out of 10 games, but a blitz peak rating of 249 suggests serious potential.
• Daily: The rare but sweet 1 game, 1 win — zero tolerance for slowpokes here!

Playing Style & Psychological Insights

Known for early resignations at just 3.39% (a modest figure), Cha Cha tends to dive deep into endgames (over 61% frequency) with patience, though they don’t shy away from rapid tactical fights. Their average moves to win (51) vs. loss (57) paints the picture of intense battles that rarely end quickly. With a tilt factor of 8, Cha Cha admits to having moments where the chess gods get the better of them, yet their best play time is around 3 PM — the prime magick hour for this player.

Memorable Rivalries

Among many rivals, "captnco0k" is the fiercest adversary, with Cha Cha playing 40 rapid games against them and holding a 42.5% win rate — a classic underdog story with every encounter filled with twists and turns.
Other notable foes like "g00mbaz" and "dhruva0990" have proven tough nuts (0% wins), but “workingclass666” appears to be their lucky charm (100% win rate).
