Profile: Korry Nalka (aka Kokoin123)

Meet Korry Nalka, a passionate and persistent chess enthusiast whose game journey proves that steady progress beats instant fame every time. Known online as Kokoin123, Korry wields the Kings Pawn Opening like a seasoned player, with nearly 500 rapid games under their belt and a respectable 49.7% win rate in that favorite opening. If chess were an art, Korry would be the slightly offbeat but constantly creative painter—sometimes colorful, sometimes abstract, but always interesting.

Rating and Performance Highlights

• Peak Rapid Rating: 940 (May 2021)
• Current Rapid Rating (June 2025): 899 with a recent strong climb
• Best Daily Rating: 800
• Blitz Rating Peaks: 570, though blitz matches seem like speed chess rollercoasters with ups and downs!

With over 700 wins and nearly as many losses in rapid games, Korry’s win-loss record is a testament to grit and a “never-say-die” attitude. A comeback rate of over 72% and the ability to bounce back after losing a piece (winning 42.7% of those games) highlight a resilient and fighting spirit. Tilt factor of 12? That’s like getting mildly annoyed but never exploding — a steady player indeed.

Playing Style & Personality

Korry prefers complexity and endurance, pushing games into long battles with an average of ~57 moves per win and ~59 moves per loss. With an endgame frequency at nearly 59%, they like to grind it out in the final phases, proving patience is a virtue on the digital battlefield.

Clock management and timing? The magic hour is 17:00 — a perfect time for brains to fire and pawns to march. Interestingly, win rates spike to 100% at 17:00 and 19:00 hours, so if you want to challenge Korry, avoid those golden hours!

Favorite Openings & Tactical Bliss

Whether it’s the King’s Pawn Opening or its complex variations, Korry loves taking the center and stirring the pot early on. They have flirted with the Scandinavian Defense and Alekhine’s Defense, but with more modest results there — proving sometimes it’s best to stick to what you know.

One funny tidbit: in blitz chess, Korry’s win rate is a humble 33%, suggesting that at lightning speed, the chessboard turns into a battleground of controlled chaos. Patience might be Korry’s true weapon!
