kierneis: The Rapid Riser with a Quirky Playstyle

Meet kierneis, a passionate rapid chess player whose rating rollercoaster is more thrilling than a theme park ride. From cruising with a peak rapid rating of 1009 in April 2022 to battling through some rough patches and landing around 270 in 2025, this player shows that perseverance is the real king on the board.

Not one to shy away from action, kierneis has packed over 1540 rapid games into their profile, fighting toe-to-toe with opponents, finishing with nearly as many wins (742) as losses (757) — a true warrior’s record. Blitz and bullet? A few battles there too, but rapid chess is where the heart lies.

Their opening repertoire is delightfully diverse but shows a flair for the Queen's Pawn Opening and its variations (including the tricky Chigorin and Zukertort lines). With a win rate hovering around 50% in these, it’s clear kierneis prefers dynamic, strategic fights that keep everyone guessing. The King’s Pawn Opening Leonardis Variation is a personal favorite, boasting a catchy 66.67% win rate — sounds fancy and effective!

Speaking of style, kierneis is no stranger to the drama of chess. Their games average around 46 moves when winning and a slightly longer 52 moves when learning life’s humbling lessons. Intriguingly, the comeback rate is a solid 66.7% — if you thought it was over, think again! On a scale of tilt, kierneis scores an 8 out of 10, meaning psychological resilience is practiced but real human.

Timing is everything, especially for kierneis, whose best moments occur around the 22:00 hour. Late-night masterminding sessions, anyone? Despite having a tendency to resign early around 7% of the time, they balance it by frequently diving deep into endgames nearly half of their matches.

Recent Triumph

The latest crowning moment came on June 8th, 2025, when kierneis delivered a beautiful checkmate against zaczebre, ending the game with a subtle yet lethal queen maneuver. The battle was tough, but ultimately, strategy and patience prevailed.

"Chess ain't just a game; it's an adventure, and kierneis is definitely wearing the adventurer's hat."
