Meet kevscf:
Once a humble enthusiast starting with a Blitz rating as low as 271 in early 2023, kevscf's chess journey is a tale of perseverance, strategy, and plenty of caffeine-fueled late nights. From crawling out of the rating cellar to climbing the ranks with a Peak Bullet rating of a whopping 1505 in early 2025, kevscf proves that even pawns can dream of promotion.
Primarily a Bullet and Blitz warrior, kevscf dominates the fast-paced arenas with thousands of games under their belt—over 3,600 wins in Bullet alone, to be specific. With a win streak peaking at 15 games and a comeback rate of 82%, kevscf’s resilience is nothing short of inspiring for anyone who's lost a queen but refused to resign.
Favourite openings? The trusty Queen's Pawn Opening shines brightest in their arsenal, boasting nearly 60% win rate in Blitz, alongside a fondness for the mysterious "Top Secret" (which, ironically, isn't so secret with so many games played). Defensive structures like the French Defense face their tactical onslaught, even if the win rate there hovers around the uncomfortable 40%–50% mark—because what's chess without a little challenge?
Speaking of challenges, kevscf knows how to tilt the scales: with a tilt factor of 13%, they keep their cool better than most, except maybe when the clock hits 14:00—their magic hour for best play. And if you're wondering about kvscf’s style, expect games lasting on average 70 moves when victorious, and full of intense endgame scrambles (a 73% endgame frequency), proving that this player battles until the very last pawn.
Whether winning on time (many a victory was snatched by the clock) or gracefully accepting defeat (resignation being the second most common game termination), kevscf's gaming sessions are a rollercoaster of thrills. With almost equal chances to claim victory with White (50.6%) or Black (47.2%), this player doesn't shy away from any battlefield.
Outside the 64 squares, kevscf has a tactical awareness to rival the best—a remarkable 46% win rate even after losing a piece! When facing equals, the battles are tight with a slight edge to losses (51%), but give kevscf a chance against lower-rated opponents, and watch a fierce 70% win rate blaze through the ranks.
Recent clashes? Their latest triumph involved a stylish Queen’s Pawn Opening with a dazzling 48-move win on time, a testament to patience and clock mastery. And while losses do happen (because everyone loves a good comeback story), kevscf takes each with grace (even if the checkmate came a tad too quickly).
In summary, kevscf is the stalwart speedster of online chess: equal parts relentless, strategic, and surprisingly fun. A player who proves it's not just about how fast you move, but how smartly you think in a blitz—and a reminder that every chess master was once a beginner losing to time.
