Profile Summary: DDawng Khoa (aka kkk2246)
Meet DDawng Khoa, known on the chess battlefield as kkk2246, a dynamic and somewhat unpredictable chess player making waves in the 2025 chess scene. With a Blitz peak rating of 231, a Bullet high of 311, and an impressive Rapid rating peak at 391, this player shows a versatile skill set across formats, though their journey is anything but a smooth grandmaster glide.
Khoa’s style is a curious blend of endurance and tactical comeback mastery — boasting a comeback rate of 82.35% and a respectable win rate after losing a piece at 43.52%. Don't be fooled by moments of vulnerability though: a tilt factor of 6 hints that frustration might rear its head more than a wise grandmaster would admit, possibly explaining the dreaded longest losing streak of 6 games.
When it comes to openings, Khoa has favorites with a personal flair for the Scandinavian Defense in Blitz, flashing an 83.33% win rate, and a knack for rocking the Philidor Defense boasting a 71.43% success rate. Yet, not all gambits end well — the Undefined openings in Blitz are a kryptonite with a painful 0% win rate, calling into question whether those games began with a confused shrug or a keyboard hiccup.
Clock management is another quirky trait: Khoa shines brightest at the crack of dawn, with the best playing time logged at 4:00 AM, where apparently caffeine and brilliance perfectly combine. Perhaps late-night snacking and chess strategy are the secret weapons here!
With nearly as many wins as losses in Blitz (96 wins vs 91 losses), and an average game length of about 57 moves for victories, this player clearly enjoys a good old-fashioned long battle rather than quick-fire blitz duels. Yet, despite the hard-won determination, Khoa’s win rate against higher-rated opponents drops dramatically, winning less than 14% of those David vs Goliath fights — but smashing opponents beneath their rating with a whopping 85% success.
Recent games highlight Khoa’s flair: a win by checkmate, a victory on time, and some fierce clashes featuring the French Defense Knight Variation — proving that even if the opponent slips away, Khoa’s clock will strike victorious.
Whether you stumble upon a long tactical duel in Blitz, a frantic Bullet exchange, or a strategic Rapid showdown, DDawng Khoa’s games are a rollercoaster of tenacity, tactical wizardry, and occasional facepalm-worthy decisions. In short: a serious contender who’s still figuring out if their best opening is a checkmate or an early dash to the coffee machine.
