Kiran Dhenga Magar — The Rapid Rook of the Chessboard

Meet Kiran Dhenga Magar, who also goes by the username kiran-rai1 in the vast and mysterious realm of online chess. A tenacious rapid player, Kiran’s games are a rollercoaster ride of wins, losses, and occasional draws — but always packed with drama and tactical fireworks.

With a peak rapid rating of 748 achieved in October 2024, Kiran has shown flashes of brilliance that few can ignore. Sure, the rating has bounced around a bit since then, but don’t let that fool you — this player knows how to keep opponents guessing. Recent months saw the rating stabilize around the mid-400s, but hey, every chess player has their ups and downs!

Kiran's playing style could be described as adventurous yet methodical: an early resignation rate of 11.5% means sometimes Kiran knows when to cut losses, but an impressive comeback rate of 66.29% suggests that giving up isn’t really part of the vocabulary. Endgames are a preferred battleground, with over 36% of games reaching this stage. On average, wins take about 39 moves, but losses tend to drag a bit longer, averaging 46 moves — perhaps contemplation or just stubborn defense!

Kiran shines brightest playing with the white pieces, boasting a win rate of 51.58%, whereas as Black, Kiran rolls up sleeves with a respectable 39.09% win rate. Favorite openings? The trusty King’s Pawn Opening leads with over 59% win rate, but beware the King’s Knight Variation where the win rate dips to 32.61% — a tricky beast for even Kiran! The Bishop’s Opening Berlin Defense is another fan favorite, with a solid 65.22% success rate. In fact, Kiran’s opening repertoire is diverse enough to keep opponents on their toes but still anchored in familiar territory.

When asked about the best time for Kiran to unleash chess fury, the answer is clear: around 8 PM, with a perfect 100% win rate at that hour (chess magic, or just good timing?). Weekends and Mondays are particularly favorable too, with Sunday and Monday seeing win rates above 50%. Midweek afternoon sessions, on the other hand, might be best avoided if you’re on the opponent’s side!

Kiran’s resilience is evident also in psychological stats — a modest tilt factor of 12 means emotions rarely hijack moves, but the player still keeps the fighting spirit alive. Tactical prowess shines through a win rate after losing a piece of 37.42%, suggesting that material disadvantage doesn’t always spell doom for Kiran.

Oh, and did we mention streaks? A longest winning streak of 6 games is proof that when on fire, Kiran is an unstoppable rapid force! Conversely, a brutal longest losing streak of 12 shows that chess history is full of humbling lessons — for everyone.

Recent notable victory

Just recently, Kiran clinched a spectacular win by checkmate against tabatn in a game that started with the Queen’s Pawn Opening. Kiran’s kingside attack was so fierce that the opponent ran out of moves at move 32 with a classic Nc5#, sealing the deal in style.

In short:

• Total Rapid Games: 387+
• Overall Rapid Record: 175 wins, 200 losses, 12 draws
• Favorite Opening: King’s Pawn Opening (59.32% wins)
• Peak Rapid Rating: 748 (Oct 2024)

Kiran Dhenga Magar is proof that chess is not just about numbers but about passion, persistence, and the occasional brilliant flourish that leaves spectators saying: “Did they just do that?!”
