Profile Summary of Knyaz13
Meet Knyaz13, a blitz virtuoso who has navigated the treacherous battlefield of 64 squares since at least 2010, starting modestly but climbing up the ranks like a knight on a quest for glory. With a peak blitz rating soaring up to 2524, Knyaz13 is no stranger to fast and furious games where every second counts and blunders can sting like a queen’s dagger.
This player is a strategic beast who loves the endgame — in fact, they reach endgames in over 80% of their matches, probably because they enjoy tormenting opponents long past the opening fireworks. Their typical wins and losses span around 74 moves, meaning they’re not here for quick checkmates but rather drawn-out duels full of drama and suspense.
Knyaz13’s psychological armor is robust. Even when losing a piece, this chess gladiator fights back fiercely, boasting a remarkable 99.63% win rate in such scenarios — it's as if every loss of material fuels an inner tempest. But beware fellow competitors: this titan has a 91.31% comeback rate, turning seemingly lost battles into stunning victories. Yet, when the mental scales tip, they’ve been known to tilt, but only moderately, down at 20, proving that even the strongest have their bad days.
If you aim to outsmart their opening repertoire, brace yourself. While fond of classic lines like the French and Caro-Kann Exchange Variations, Knyaz13 spices things up with secret and mysterious defenses—really, their “Unknown Opening” stats are so vast it’s like playing a game of chess roulette. The Pirc Defense shines as their secret weapon, with a winning rate above 52%, sneaking past the less cautious into complications.
Although predominantly a blitz aficionado, Knyaz13 also dabbles in bullet chess, reaching almost 2400 in a fleeting 2-game spree, and enjoys rapid games when the mood strikes (with a notable 90% win rate in rapid 'unknown' openings, showing the element of surprise is their friend).
When Knyaz13 is online, weekdays and weekends alike can witness their moves—although early mornings (4 to 5 AM) yield their best performance, perhaps indicating a secret night owl’s passion, or just a stubborn refusal to sleep until the perfect checkmate is found.
Their win-lose-draw record in blitz (47,554 wins, 53,670 losses, and 4,659 draws) tells the tale of a fearless warrior battling thousands of foes, sometimes winning, sometimes losing, but always ready for the next game. For those seeking to find the weak spot, know that Knyaz13’s draw tendency is low, meaning they prefer to decide their battles with boldness rather than settle for stalemates.
Friendly rivalries with players like gvolynskiy, stefanbusch, and bajkeee pepper their chess journey. Some of these opponents have met a 50-60% success rate against Knyaz13, reflecting fierce, well-matched duels.
So, whether you're a casual pawn-pusher or a serious chess strategist, be warned: facing Knyaz13 means entering the lair of a crafty combatant with a love for deep endgames, daring opening surprises, and a comeback spirit that could revive even the most hopeless positions. Play your best moves—and may the clock be ever in your favor!
