Profile Summary: KenRyan9

Meet KenRyan9, a rapid chess player whose rating journey resembles a rollercoaster more than a smooth climb—peaking at a modest 689 in early 2025! While not quite Magnus Carlsen material (yet), KenRyan9 has a respectable track record peppered with moments of brilliance and a delightful flair for some underrated openings.

In the 16 rapid games played this season, KenRyan9 secured 6 wins and faced 10 losses, never settling for a draw—because who needs half points when you can go all in, right? Known for sticking around until the endgame about half the time, their games average around 48 moves for wins and 64 moves for losses, proving stamina is definitely in the toolkit.

Opening repertoire? A curious mix with a sweet spot in the Three Knights Opening and King’s Pawn Opening, King's Knight Variation, boasting an undefeated 100% win rate in those lines. Conversely, some spicy gambits like the Englund Gambit and defenses like the French Defense Exchange Svenonius Variation have not been as kind.

KenRyan9’s psychological resilience is notable: a commendable 66.67% comeback rate when down and only a tilt factor of 5 (which, in chess tantrum scale, means "mild annoyance" rather than full rage quit). Their best time to pounce on opponents? 8 PM sharp—because nothing beats a good old evening checkmate.

Speaking of checkmates, four wins ended in glorious mates, while some losses came by resignation and one by timeout—proof that sometimes even a chess warrior needs a bathroom break. When playing Black, KenRyan9 shines brighter, winning 62.5% of those battles compared to a humbler 12.5% when holding White.

Their most recent victory, a theatrical checkmate against BladimirAnt, showcased strategic patience and tactical sharpness that lights up the board. Not to be overlooked are other opponents like alihajiya and pusfol, against whom KenRyan9 maintains a flawless record.

To sum it up: KenRyan9 might not be a grandmaster (yet!), but they bring fierce determination, a love for the board, and an adventurous spirit to every game—sometimes winning, sometimes learning, always playing. Beware if you queue up for an evening rapid match; you might just find yourself on the wrong end of a sneaky checkmate at 8 PM sharp!
