Killian Adamo

Killian Adamo (aka kikiezlol)

Killian Adamo, known on the digital battlefield as kikiezlol, is a Rapid chess specialist whose game is as dynamic as a rollercoaster ride—expect thrilling peaks and a few heart-stopping dips. With a peak rating of 428 in April 2025, Killian has proven to be both a fierce competitor and a somewhat unpredictable force on the board.

Starting 2025 rated at 218, Killian quickly accelerated through the ranks, showcasing a remarkable comeback rate of nearly 48% and a fearless ability to fight back even after losing a piece 43.78% of the time. His winning smile is probably as wide as his longest winning streak of 7 games, but don’t be fooled—he’s also battled through losing streaks of 9, reminding us all that even great players have their “off” days.

Known for a quick trigger finger on early resignations, with an early resignation rate above 31%, Killian prefers rapid battles rather than drawn-out wars, usually finishing wins after 44 moves on average. He’s a master of stirring the pot with openings like the Scandinavian Defense (over 40 games played) where he holds a respectable ~56% win rate, and delights in the King's Pawn Opening: King's Knight Variation boasting a powerful ~67% success rate.

When playing white, Killian turns up the charm with a 58.28% win rate, while black pieces bring a slightly more guarded 45.12%. This eager gladiator can be very punctual too—15:00 appears to be his magic hour, where his winning chances skyrocketed to 100% at that exact hour. Coincidence or chess wizardry? You decide!

Killian has a soft spot for the Philidor Defense, crushing opponents 70% of the time, and loves to flex some tactical muscle in the Petrov Defense Classical Variation with a 66.67% win rate. When pressured, his psychological "tilt factor" measures a modest 9—so yes, he gets frustrated, but not enough to flip the board (yet).

Opponents beware: Killian has crushed many, including a perfect winning record over frequently faced players like princessevictoria (70% wins, no losses in 20 games) and marcelloamericano (100% wins in 2 battles). Yet, even this master has room for improvement—against top dogs like magnuscarlsengm6920, he’s yet to taste victory. It’s a journey, not a sprint.
