Profile Summary: knight091077
Meet knight091077, a determined chess enthusiast carving their path through the battlefield of 64 squares with the grace of a galloping knight... and occasional blunders. With over 1,600 rapid games under their belt and an impressive knack for the mysterious yet effective "Top Secret" openings, knight091077 prefers to keep opponents guessing while plotting their own grand strategy.
Their rapid rating peaked around 1346 in 2024 but has seen the rollercoaster ride of fluctuating scores — because hey, every knight has to stumble before it matures into a wise old horse on the board! The opponent list reads like a who’s who of online chess duels, where knight091077 boasts a respectable 47.7% win rate using their signature openings and a remarkable 78.2% comeback rate once the going gets tough. Indeed, this player never admits defeat easily — their resilience is knightly.
Notoriously patient, they average about 66 moves per win, proving that their battles are marathons, not sprints. Though slightly more successful with white pieces (48.2% win rate), their black pieces hold their ground admirably too (46.6% win rate). However, sometimes early resignations sneak up (around 3%), because even knights need naps.
Timing-wise, knight091077 seems to shine in the wee hours — showing an enviable 61.5% win rate around midnight and a staggering 75% at 10 PM, so if you want to catch them, better set your alarm clock! Weekends? Let's just say Saturday’s a tricky day with the lowest win rate (~43.6%), possibly due to weekend distractions like dragon slaying or quests outside the chess realm.
Above all, knight091077 is an online gladiator blending a mix of tactical savviness, psychological stamina, and enough quirky unpredictability to keep opponents on their toes. Whether charging headlong or patiently plotting the long game, this knight knows that in chess — as in life — sometimes you have to sacrifice a pawn to win the day.
Hi knight091077! Your personalised improvement plan
Current personal best (rapid): 1346 (2024-09-01)
1. What you already do well
- Active piece play – you rarely leave your army on the back-rank. Typical examples are 17.Nxd7!! versus giardt7 and 26.Nxc7 against fina ginting.
- Pawn breaks – moves such as f4 (King’s Gambit) and b5 in the Catalan win show you are not afraid to open lines.
- End-game stamina – the 70-move grind against aboadhamjawish proves you can keep your concentration.
2. Biggest improvement opportunities
- King safety before attack
When you lost to agus_etche (King’s Gambit) you castled late and were mated on move 15.
Rule of thumb: castle or secure the 7th/2nd rank before launching pawns. - Early queen moves
Moving Qh5/Qf3 on move 2–3 (seen in several games) works against beginners but backfires once opponents know the refutation. Stick to “develop three minor pieces first, then the queen”. - Loose Pieces Drop Off (LPDO)
A bishop or knight was left en-prise in four of your last five defeats (e.g. 14…Bxd2! vs aashu0212). Before every move ask: “are any of my pieces hanging or undefended?”. - Converting material
In the Catalan win you were two pieces up by move 30 yet still allowed counter-play. Study basic techniques of piece co-ordination and reducing counter-play.
3. Opening map for the next 30 days
- With White – Italian / Four-Knights (easy to learn, sound positions).
- With Black versus 1.e4 – keep 1…e5 but memorise the Petroff line that beat you (5.Nf3).
- With Black versus 1.d4 – the set-up that scored versus avicenadima (…d5 …e6 …Nf6 …Be7 …c6) is solid and low-maintenance.
4. Daily training routine (≈40 min)
| Task | Time |
|---|---|
| 10 tactical puzzles (forks, pins, skewers) | 15 min |
| Replay one master game in your chosen opening | 10 min |
| Self-analyse yesterday’s rapid game (no engine), then verify with engine | 10 min |
| King-and-pawn end-game drill | 5 min |
5. Critical moment replay
The mate against Agus_etche illustrates how fast an exposed king can fall:

Check the interactive graphs and schedule games at your “golden hours”.
7. Next steps
- Play 20 rapid games following the opening map above.
- Add every blunder position to a flash-card deck and review it twice a week.
- Request a rematch with any opponent that beat you quickly – facing the same problems again cements the fix.
Stick to the plan for a month and breaking the 1100 barrier will be a formality. Good luck and enjoy the climb!
