Мартин Киракосян (aka Kmalucard) - The Brave Gambit Tactician
Born somewhere between the ranks of Rapid and Bullet, Мартин Киракосян is a chess warrior known for fearless attacks and love for the Scandinavian Defense — especially the Mieses Kotrc Variation, where he boasts an impressive 75% win rate in Rapid games. With a peak Rapid rating of 774 and a blitz peak flirting with the 760s, Мартин shows versatility across time controls, even though Bullet remains his tricky playground, peaking at nearly 500.
Despite a rollercoaster ride of wins and losses (he’s not afraid to taste defeat, as his 7-game losing streak once painfully confirms), Мартин keeps the board hopping. His average victory runs for a hearty 60 moves, proving he’s in for the long haul and never gives up early—resigning only about 6.5% of the time, which is remarkably sportsmanlike for a Bulldog-level fighter.
He thrives most at night — specifically at 9 PM — when his win rate hits a perfect 100%, a time when his tactical awareness peaks and comebacks become the norm (a whopping 73% rate!). His favorite openings paint a picture of a player who loves sharp, strategic battles: the Scandinavian Defense Mieses Kotrc Variation, Scotch Game, and King's Pawn Opening variations all figure prominently in his arsenal.
Not one to be pigeonholed, Мартин’s game includes moments of brilliance and blunders, but above all, heart. Whether he's blitzing opponents with the Leonardis Variation or outwitting foes in Bullet with tricky gambits, his win rates vary from respectable to downright tenacious. He shines brightest against lower-rated opponents, winning nearly 80% of such encounters.
