Profile Summary: kobanyaalso

Meet kobanyaalso, a relentless chess enthusiast who has been battling it out on the boards with remarkable persistence and ever-improving skill. Starting around 2022 with humble beginnings—blitz ratings under 900 and bullet barely cracking 400—this player has shown a gritty determination to climb the ranks.

Fast forward a few years, and you'll find kobanyaalso boasting blitz highs over 1380 and bullet pushing past 1180. Not one to shy away from rapid or daily games, they’ve showcased an impressive peak daily rating of 1279 in 2025—proving that patience is very much their game too! But don’t be fooled; this isn't a one-trick pony. Their tactical wizardry shines brightest in moments of adversity with a stunning 71.21% comeback rate and a mind-boggling 95.42% win rate after losing a piece. Who says losing material is the end? Not kobanyaalso!

The player's style is a fascinating blend of endurance and calculated risk, with an average of nearly 60 moves per win signaling deep, thoughtful middlegames and an eye for long-term advantages. Although the tilt factor sits at a modest 16, a slight dip in performance from rated to casual games suggests this player takes their chess seriously—and gets a bit grumpy when things don’t go exactly their way. After all, even champions have to vent sometimes!

When it comes to timing, kobanyaalso is a night owl champion: their best results come in the 21st hour (that's 9 PM for us mere mortals), with a win rate soaring above 68%, perhaps fueled by late-night snacks and caffeine. Sundays are also prime time, boasting a solid 53.19% win rate—maybe a day of rest helps the brain warm up!

Opponents beware: with a longest winning streak of 12 games and a current winning streak on the board, this player brings a mix of stubborn resilience and occasionally surprising openings (yes, they keep their favorite strategies under "Top Secret"). The daily grind—be it blitz, bullet, rapid, or daily—never ceases for kobanyaalso, who treats every game like a battle of wits and a chance to claim victory (or revenge).

In short, kobanyaalso isn’t just playing chess—they’re living it, one move at a time, proving that with dedication, even the trickiest opponents and roughest positions can be conquered. So next time you face them, remember: it’s not over until the last piece falls, and this player might just pull a brilliant comeback right out of the hat!
