Kevin (username: kevin210i) - Rapid Chess Enthusiast

Meet Kevin, a rapidly rising star on the online chess battlefield. With a peak Rapid rating of 371 achieved just last May, Kevin’s journey has been anything but boring. Starting off at a humble 110, he zoomed past duds and blunders to climb the rating ladder with a rollercoaster of 62 games in one month alone. If perseverance had a face, it would probably look like Kevin’s, grappling with ups and downs like a true warrior – currently rocking a 35-28-2 win-loss-draw record in Rapid.

Kevin prefers the bold and classic King's Pawn Opening, boasting an impressive 73% win rate across 15 games. He’s not afraid to mix in some variety either, dabbling in the Three Knights Opening with a perfect 100% score—because who doesn’t love a cheeky surprise? On the flip side, some openings like the Queen's Pawn Opening Horwitz Defense have been less forgiving, where his win rate stubbornly sits at a flat zero.

Known for his tactical resilience, Kevin has a comeback rate of 60%—which means if you think you've got him down, think again! About half the time, even after losing a piece, Kevin fights back to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. However, he does occasionally fall victim to the infamous “one-sided loss” (at a rate just shy of 29%), proving that even grandmasters in the making have tough days.

Kevin's longest winning streak proudly stands at 7 games, a testament to his ability to keep the momentum going when the stars align. Sadly, the current streak isn’t so bright, with 3 losses in a row reminding us all that chess is as much psychological as it is strategic. His Tilt Factor is a modest 5, suggesting he usually keeps his cool, though the board’s mood sometimes gets to him.

Fun fact: Kevin’s prime time is in the early afternoon, peaking around 1 PM with a whopping 87.5% win rate! So if you want to challenge him, mornings and late nights might just be your best bet—he’s a bit sleepy at 4 and 12 o’clock, with 0% wins there.

Signature Victory Highlight

One of Kevin’s most memorable triumphs was a fierce encounter against Parthr_7 on May 31, 2025. From a classic King's Pawn Opening, Kevin executed a stunning checkmate after 24 sharp moves, proving that patience and aggression can dance beautifully together. The game can be relived here for those who love cinematic chess showdowns.

Despite occasional setbacks, Kevin’s love for the game and ability to bounce back make him a formidable opponent and one to watch in the world of online rapid chess. Whether you’re a seasoned player or a casual enthusiast, Kevin’s games promise drama, excitement, and a dash of unpredictability!
