Profile Summary: khoipham
Title: International Master (IM) - a badge earned with sweat, smiles, and maybe a few too many pawns sacrificed along the way.
From humble beginnings to terrifying bullet speeds, khoipham’s chess journey is nothing short of thrilling. Starting with a modest bullet rating in the mid-1500s in 2019, this relentless competitor skyrocketed to a peak bullet rating of 2514 by mid-2023 — faster than most of us can say “checkmate!” And if blitz is more your style, khoipham crushed it to a peak rating of 2628, proving to all that rapid reflexes and keen tactics are part of their secret arsenal.
Fittingly, these numbers reflect a player who not only loves high-speed battles but has a remarkable comeback rate of over 73%, showing off a knack for bouncing back even when the chips are down. That’s right: lose a piece? No problem. With a cool-headed win rate after losing a piece at 53%, khoipham turns adversity into opportunity, keeping opponents on edge.
When it comes to style, expect deep, patient games with an average of around 65 moves per win or loss — this is no bullet-only sprinter. The endgame master class goes on with nearly 68% of games reaching the endgame, ideal for the calculating mind of an International Master who loves a good puzzle till the final move.
Psychologically, khoipham’s tilt factor is impressively low (just 9), which means even after a loss, the mental game remains strong. Their optimal time to strike? The early bird at 5 AM — apparently, the best moves are made while the rest of us are snoozing.
Victory is sweet, especially when playing with Black: an impressive 57.34% win rate proves khoipham’s black pieces aren’t just defensive pawns but a force to be reckoned with. White does well to watch out too, with a solid 55.5% win rate grabbing the odds.
