Kamrul Hassan Luise (khluise) — The Chess Journeyman

Kamrul Hassan Luise, known in chess circles by the handle khluise, is a player who approaches the 64 squares with a blend of steady grit and occasional flashes of brilliance. His highest rapid rating of 784 (achieved in May 2025) shows that while he may not yet be a grandmaster, his commitment and resilience on the battlefield of pawns and knights are undeniable.

Rating Odyssey

From humble beginnings with a rapid rating hovering in the 300s to scaling the heights of nearly 800, Kamrul’s chess rating history is a rollercoaster worthy of a novel. He’s battled through over 1,500 rapid games, triumphing in 743 and learning from 716 defeats. His daily and blitz ratings tell a similar story of hardworking persistence, with solid performances and moments of tactical cunning.

Opening Masteries and Curious Choices

Ever the tactician, Kamrul has favored the Caro-Kann Defense extensively, playing it in 86 rapid games with a near fifty-fifty success ratio — because who doesn’t love a good, solid but slightly stubborn defense? The Scandinavian Defense (Mieses-Kotrc Variation) is his specialty with a delightful win rate above 68%, showing he’s not afraid to shake things up and surprise his opponents.

He’s no stranger to the classics either, dabbling in the Italian Game, French Defense, and King’s Pawn Opening, proving his versatility—even if sometimes those pawns end up on the losing side!

The Drama of Daily Battles

Playing often around noon to early afternoon (notably his best time to play is around 1 PM), Kamrul's win rates fluctuate but hover near the 50% mark across days of the week — except Tuesday and Friday, where the results are a bit grimmer. His tilt factor of 13 suggests that while he can lose his cool now and then, he’s still a tough opponent to rattle easily.

The Psychological War and Comebacks

Kamrul has an impressive comeback rate of nearly 67%, highlighting his tenacity when the chips are down. Even after losing a piece, he manages to win about 44% of the time — talk about fighting spirit! However, sometimes the losses are one-sided, with a quarter of his defeats coming in swift, decisive fashion.

Anecdotes from the Arena

Recent games encapsulate Kamrul’s style perfectly — his last recorded win was a thrilling checkmate over "proteas29" using his beloved Caro-Kann Defense, sealed with surgical precision in just 22 moves. On the flipping side, his most recent loss came against the player "sumcik," where a resignation in a competitive tussle reminded us all of the merciless nature of chess. It’s a fascinating mix of strategy, nerve, and, occasionally, who blinks first.

Whimsical Stats

• Longest winning streak: 21 games (because who needs breaks, right?)
• Average moves per win: nearly 50 — a worthy marathon, not a sprint
• Early resignation rate: 16% — because sometimes, life outside chess calls

Whether you’re a fellow chess fanatic or just admire the graceful drama of battle on black and white squares, Kamrul Hassan Luise’s journey is one of growth, resilience, and a lot of passionate play. His playstyle might be described as stubbornly steady with flashes of tactical fireworks, making him an opponent you’ll respect — and hopefully avoid on a bad day!

Keep an eye on khluise — the chessboard’s friendly warrior, who at any moment could surprise you with a move so slick, you’ll be left wondering if it was skill or sorcery.
