Kevin is the kind of chess player who treats the game like a rollercoaster ride—full of ups, downs, and a few loop-the-loops just for fun. With a bullet peak rating soaring at 706 in August 2024, Kevinated doesn’t just play fast; he plays fast and with flair. When he's not blitzing through opponents at lightning speed, he’s strategizing in blitz games, where he reached a respectable peak rating of 620 back in October 2022.
This intrepid tactician has a penchant for the Scandinavian Defense, especially its Mieses Kotrc Variation, wielding it like a seasoned Viking wields his axe—sometimes hitting the mark, sometimes just chopping down the forest. His win rates in openings like the Pirc Defense (a whopping 70% in bullet!) and the Vienna Game showcase a love for sharp, tactical battles.
Playing Style & Quirks
Kevin’s chess style is a curious blend of daring and persistence. His average game length hovers around 54 moves in victories, proving patience isn’t lost on him, even if his tilt factor is a lively 11 (translation: expect a bit of feisty reaction when the chess gods frown). Armed with a comeback rate of 78%, he’s your classic "never say die" player who turns the tables when you least expect it.
He sometimes resigns early (4.32% of the time), because why drag out suffering when you can start a fresh duel? His current losing streak is just 1, but fear not, his longest winning streak impressively hits 16, which means when Kevinated is on fire, chess boards beware!
Battle Highlights
Kevin's latest victories involve some sweet checkmates – his roast of opponents like siegermaster and dahlak007 are war stories in their own right. Notably, his most recent win featured a brutal checkmate with deft queen maneuvers and a knight taking names.
Early birds beware: Kevin’s best play hour is around 10 AM – so if you want to catch him napping, don’t play him then! He loves rapid exchanges early on, with the first capture move landing around move 5 on average.
His favorite time control? Blitz, of course—because who doesn’t love a good adrenaline rush mixed with strategic brilliance?
Opponents Beware
Kevinated has patented a relentless approach against some opponents, boasting 100% win records versus several players like dahlak007, bmbm99, and arishen_qqw. On the flip side, he’s still figuring out how to crack the code against the enigmatic siegermaster and others.
Fun Fact
Kevin has suffered long losing streaks (up to 11 games in a row!), but that only fuels his competitive fire. Win or lose, he’s always back at the board, plotting his next cunning move—or just trying to remember which piece is the queen.
