Kief Nasty

Profile of Kief Nasty

Meet Kief Nasty, a chess warrior with an impressive knack for resilience and a streak that would make even the most stoic grandmasters buckle — boasting a longest winning streak of 11 games and a comeback rate of nearly 77%. Whether it's blitz or bullet, Kief dances fluently across the 64 squares with a playstyle marked by finesse and a fair sprinkle of chaos.

Rating & Style

Kief hit their peak blitz rating early on with a 1111 in August 2016, and although the ratings have seen some ups and downs since, they keep battling with grit. Bullet peak rating stands at 1037 while rapid peaked at 719 in early 2023, showing versatility across all formats.

Known for a relatively high tendency to resign early (12.55% early resignation rate), Kief balances that with a strong endgame frequency (45.31%). Not one to back down easily, their average moves per win or loss hover around 49 moves, suggesting no surrender without a good fight – or at least a lengthy battle!

Favorite Openings & Strategies

In blitz, Kief displays a preferential love for the Queen’s Pawn Opening and the intriguingly cheeky Englund Gambit which they've scored with a mean 65% win rate in over two dozen games. The Scandinavian Defense also pops up often in their repertoire, especially in bullet games where they wield it with a respectable 58.73% win rate, proving Kief likes to keep their opponents on their toes early on.

Psychological Play & Timing

Playing at their best during 7 AM (no kidding), Kief combines a solid mental game with a tilt factor of just 9, ensuring losses rarely turn into eternal tantrums. With a nearly 47% win rate on Wednesdays and a respectable 50%+ on Sundays and Fridays, weekends and midweek battles are clearly when Kief brings their A-game — or at least their coffee-fueled moves.

Recent Performances

The latest win by Kief Nasty involved a classic resigning opponent after skillfully navigating a sharp modern Pirc Defense (Geller System). Their most recent defeat came against telucidan, ending with a spirited, if ultimately unsuccessful, rook and pawn battle. Past opponents count includes a familiar mix of fearless fighters and strategically savvy challengers, and Kief seems to maintain a perfect win record against several favorites like tekinberkant and sirx8.

The Legend (and Jests)

Kief Nasty might not yet have claimed the throne of the chess elite, but they certainly own the battlefield with grit, unpredictability, and a dash of sass. Their record hints at a player who sometimes channels their inner chess ninja and other times prefers to fold early (because, hey, even grandmasters need a coffee break). Whatever the style, Kief’s games are rarely dull — expect the unexpected and enjoy the ride!

Fun fact: Kief’s games feature a slightly higher rate of opponent resignations compared to victories by checkmate, so you can suspect the psychological pressure they pile on is as lethal as their tactical play!
