Playing Style & Stats

Known for a somewhat dramatic flair—resigning early about 35% of the time and averaging around 51 moves in victories—kikibondu dances on the edge of victory and defeat. When playing Black, the win rate (45.45%) outshines White (35.56%), proving that surprises often come after the opponent moves first.

Though streaks vary wildly (from a thrilling 4-game winning streak to an eyebrow-raising 8-game losing stretch), the spirit never diminishes. In moments of trouble, kikibondu has a pride-worthy 61% comeback rate, clawing back after setbacks with plucky determination.

Opening Choices: Bold, Brave & Occasionally Risky

If openings were a menu, kikibondu tends to sample the spiciest dishes. The Alekhine's Defense is their sweetheart, boasting a solid 60% win rate over five games — talk about turning opponents’ aggression against them! Meanwhile, the King's Pawn Opening is a love-hate relationship with a 27% win rate, proving that even the classics can cause headaches.

Other adventures include trying out the Scandinavian Defense (brave but tough with only 14% wins) and a surprisingly perfect record in the Three Knights Opening—winning every single time. And in blitz, a flawless 1-0 record with the Van ‘t Kruijs Opening proves kikibondu can zap opponents when time is tight.
