Meet kobathedread1976: The Gambit Gladiator
Ever tangled with a player who treats every chess game like a daring adventure? That’s kobathedread1976 for you. With a ping-ponging Bullet rating that’s seen more ups and downs than a roller coaster (from a humble 100 to a fierce 643), this rapid-fire specialist is no stranger to battles fought at lightning speed. Don't blink—or you might miss their next sneaky Scandinavian Defense or crafty Kings Pawn Opening twists!
Rapid Fire & Blitz Master
While their Blitz exploits flirt with a peak rating of 721, and Rapid play boasts highs near 934, kobathedread1976’s true love seems to be that intense, adrenaline-pumping Rapid time control. They thrive in making quick decisions, often racking up wins with openings like the Vienna Game (65% win rate!) — proving that a little charm and plenty of bravado can be essentially checkmate in motion.
Opening Repertoire: A Smorgasbord of Surprises
From the classic Scandinavian Defense (played over 800 times!) to the flashy Vienna Game, and even the feared Englund Gambit, this player keeps their opponents guessing. Win rates across various lines hover near 50%, but watch out for the Vienna Game's 65% success — it’s clear that when kobathedread1976 brings out the big opening guns, the victories often follow.
Tactical Dynamo with a Comeback Up Their Sleeve
With a remarkable 73.7%* comeback rate and nearly 48% success after losing a piece, this player is the embodiment of resilience. Think they’re down for the count? Think again. The psychological tilt factor is at 30%, meaning while they’re human after all, they usually shake it off and come back stronger than ever — possibly with a devastating fork or a knight jumping out of nowhere.
Statistical Tidbits & Quirks
- Early Exit Door: Resigning early happens about 12% of the time, so if you see them packing it up fast, they’re probably plotting their next big comeback.
- Game Lengths: Wins tend to last about 41 moves, slightly longer than losses—probably thanks to those slippery endgames where persistence pays.*
- Best Time to Play: If you want to catch them at their peak, 7 AM is when their chess brain is firing on all cylinders.
- Most Played Rival: Beware lauwerpower and roodbwai — these opponents have had the honor (or torment) of facing kobathedread1976 more times than most.
