Meet kgc404, a tenacious chess enthusiast who fearlessly dances on the edge of victory and defeat — typically somewhere around the 500 rating mark in rapid chess, with daring forays into blitz and bullet. Don’t let the numbers fool you; kgc404 battles through over 700 rapid games in 2025 alone, showing a warrior’s heart with 333 wins and 303 losses, plus a few draws to keep things civilized.

Playing Style & Signature Moves

Known for a patient and strategic approach, kgc404 averages around 46 moves to triumph and endures 62 moves in defeat — so these are long, battle-hardened duels, not quick skirmishes. They've mastered the art of early resignation only about 4.75% of the time, proving they're tough enough to hang in there when the stakes rise.

Favorite openings? The King’s Pawn Opening shines brightest, with nearly half of those 256 games turning into wins. But the crowd-pleaser is the Alekhine’s Defense and Van ’t Kruijs Opening, where kgc404 boasts win rates north of 68%! Unfortunately, blitz and bullet tell a different tale — much more brutal and chaotic, with win rates dipping but the love for the game never fading.
