Kaan Karadogan (aka kkaannaakk)
Meet Kaan Karadogan, a rapid and blitz chess enthusiast who often wrestles with chess gods and sometimes loses on time—but hey, who hasn’t? With a peak rapid rating of 1366 achieved in February 2025 and a blitz high of 839 in April 2025, Kaan’s journey through the 64 squares is anything but dull.
Style & Stats
Kaan’s rapid games reveal a rollercoaster ride: from a promising start with peaks like a 6-game winning streak to the frustration of a 9-game losing streak (because every hero’s story needs drama). A tactical wizard with a comeback rate over 60%, Kaan refuses to quit even after losing a piece, proving resilience is their secret weapon.
When it comes to openings, Kaan either keeps secrets locked tight or embraces the bold Alekhine’s Defense, boasting a respectable 50% win rate there. Against “Unknown Openings,” Kaan battles fiercely—even if the win rate hovers just below 40%, the fight is always on.
Memorable Moments
One of Kaan’s finest recent clashes was a thrilling checkmate victory against longtime rival duyyygu. The game featured crafty moves like a rook dance culminating in a neat Rg8# finish— a true spectacle for fans of late-game fireworks. Even in defeat, Kaan shows grace, often losing to clever opponents but never without a fight.
Psychology of a Player
Chess is serious business, but Kaan's psychological stats reveal a tilt factor of 9, meaning mild frustration is part of the package—chess nerves? Perhaps. Interestingly, Kaan shines brightest playing at 7 pm, when the win rate soars to almost 89%! Note to self: schedule matches for evening battles.
