kiko-archer: The Chessboard Archer

Meet kiko-archer, a relentless strategist who has been drawing and shooting arrows of checkmates since 2020. With a peak rapid rating soaring to 841 and a blitz peak of 909, kiko-archer is no stranger to the battlefield of sixty-four squares.

Originally starting at a humble 198 rapid rating in late 2020, kiko-archer has volleyed through ups and downs like a true chess gladiator, conquering 3876 wins against 3962 losses (and managing a respectable pile of 562 draws) in rapid games alone. Their blitz bite is small but fierce, with 19 wins to 18 losses.

Opening Arsenal & Style

Known for wielding the classic King's Pawn Opening with impressive frequency (1320 games!), kiko-archer proves that sometimes the oldest arrows hit the mark best. They also like a sturdy Bishop's Opening, scoring slightly over 51% wins there. Their love of tactical skirmishes is evident in an 85.9% comeback rate and a 43.4% win rate after losing a piece—clearly not afraid to fight from behind.

Although the drama on the board can swing both ways (longest winning and losing streaks both hit 10), their psychological resilience shines through, with a tilt factor of just 10 and a masterly ability to play their best around 1 PM, apparently when their chess senses are sharpest.

Recent Battles

In their most recent rapid skirmish, kiko-archer expertly dismantled Mamba24Knight using the sly Caro-Kann Defense in a game won by resignation. After a patient buildup, this archer forced the opponent to lay down the weapons at move 56 — a real testament to endurance and precision.

However, even the sharpest arrows miss sometimes: their latest loss came at the hands of Im-McNuggets via resignation, proving that every great chess player knows how to lose gracefully and prepare for their next volley.
