Chess Player Profile: kiawash

Meet kiawash, the aspiring tactician whose chess journey is a rollercoaster of epic battles and surprising comebacks. Kiawash began their rapid rating journey in 2020 with a fiery 1162 peak, only to tumble gracefully to the low 400s by 2024. A true chess-philosopher at heart, they’ve dared to fight 547 rapid games in 2024 alone, demonstrating unwavering dedication (and possibly a love for the dramatic!).

Despite an overall win-loss record that suggests kiawash enjoys a good challenge—584 wins to 638 losses in rapid play—they have a knack for surgical tactical brilliance, boasting a 100% win rate after losing a piece. Talk about turning lemons into winning positions! Their longest winning streak was a respectable 8 games, and they are currently on a hot 4-game streak. Watch out world!

Kiawash’s style is a patient one — averaging nearly 48 moves per win and conceding a few longer, more grueling games in losses. They enjoy the endgame, appearing nearly half the time (48%) which proves their strategic endurance. Early resignation is almost alien to them (a humble 6.11%), signaling a fighter who battles till the last move — or the last blunder.

Their blitz career is a quicker, sharp affair. Peaks in 2020 saw a surprising 1018, though recent years have been more modest. Still, they keep the flames alive—managing an almost identical win-rate in blitz to rapid (~46%).

On the psychological front, kiawash faces occasional frustrations — a tilt factor of 10 means sometimes the queen’s gambit fights back harder than anticipated. Still, their rated vs casual win difference of nearly 47% proves they bring their A-game when it counts.

Not just a lone wolf, kiawash has had multiple battles with opponents such as mahsahoseinzadeh, kurivana, and amirilkhany, showing mixed results but endless determination. Intriguingly, kiawash has a perfect 100% win rate against a surprising number of opponents, ranging from kyni4ka to djinkx — either they're a terrifying blitz storm or just exceptionally good at capitalizing on that one blunder.

Besides chess moves, kiawash also masters the clock, boasting best win rates late at night and early morning hours — especially at 21:00 (55%) and a staggering 63.64% at 2 AM. Clearly, their brain is a nocturnal grandmaster in waiting.

In conclusion, kiawash might not yet be on the grandmaster radar, but their enthusiasm, endurance, and surprising tactical genius (especially post-pawn loss!) make them a player worth watching. Whether they’re turning an early loss into a legendary comeback or eking out those endgame victories, kiawash reminds us that chess is not just a game of kings, but a game of grit, patience, and the occasional dash of madness.
