Player Profile: Xem Nas (aka Konodiodaaaaaaaaaa)
Xem Nas, who you might know online as the unpronounceable but memorable Konodiodaaaaaaaaaa, is a rapid-fire tactician with a penchant for turning the tables – and making opponents question their life choices. With a rapid rating peak of 703 achieved in the summer of 2023, Xem navigates the chessboard with a quirky mix of grit, resilience, and a dash of chaos.
Though their bullet and blitz ratings hover around the modest 504, their true magic lies in Rapid chess, where they’ve engaged in a staggering number of games – over 1,200 combined across various months in 2025 alone. With nearly as many wins as losses in rapid (387 wins out of 819 games), this player knows how to keep a balance between fierce attacks and humble defeats.
Xem Nas loves the Queen’s Pawn Opening, with an impressive win rate above 53%, showing a strategic mind who enjoys controlling the center with a classic touch. The Sicilian Defense is another favorite, winning more than half the battles fought there, proving Xem’s not afraid to dive into sharp and complex waters. Scandinavian Defense? Let’s just say it’s a love-hate relationship with a roughly 44% win rate, reflecting the roller-coaster nature of this player's playstyle.
This player’s style is a true thriller: an average of nearly 60 moves per win suggests epic, drawn-out battles where patience pays off. With a comeback rate of over 77%, giving up is not in Xem’s dictionary – though early resignations do sneak in about 6% of the time, probably when the opponent pulls off some dark sorcery.
Xem’s best time to strike is in the early evening around 17:00, coinciding with their highest win percentages and likely fueled by a steady supply of coffee or sheer stubbornness. Beware if you challenge them on a Sunday too — a day when they win more than half their games.
One of their recent masterpieces involved a sudden resignation victory against mostafa_ghanat with a sneaky Queen’s Pawn Opening tactic, cementing their ability to dismantle defenses with surgical precision. However, losses happen too, such as a fight against santhosh768 in the Dutch Defense, reminding us all that even heroes stumble.
In short, Xem Nas is a spirited chess warrior who embraces both the sweet victories and the bitter losses with equal flair — a player who might occasionally rage-quit early, but just as often will pull off jaw-dropping comebacks that make us love the game all the more.
