Tsarsitalidis Konstantinos (kontsarsi2004)

Meet Tsarsitalidis Konstantinos, known in the chess world better as kontsarsi2004 — a tenacious strategist whose chess journey is as winding and thrilling as a Sicilian Defense. Starting from humble beginnings with a daily rating of 962 back in 2019, Konstantinos has battled his way up the ranks, showing flashes of brilliance, resilience, and a penchant for tactical fireworks.

A Rollercoaster of Ratings

His peak ratings tell an epic story: a Daily high of 1920, Blitz at a blazing 2712, Bullet rising to a stunning 2624, and a Rapid best of 2327. Talk about versatile! Bullet and Blitz are clearly his playgrounds, where speed and intuition dance. His ability to make comebacks is impressive — an 81% comeback rate means Konstantinos refuses to go quietly, clawing back from near defeat with dogged determination.

Playing Style: The Chess Marathoner

When it comes to game length, Konstantinos is more a marathoner than a sprinter, with average games lasting about 70 moves for both wins and losses. That says he’s not merely swiping pieces for quick wins — he strode into long battles balanced on the razor’s edge. Early resignations? A modest 12.5%, so don’t expect him to give up easily, but he knows when to call it. His psychological tilt factor hovers at a reasonable 45, so he’s human enough to get ticked off but disciplined enough to keep calm when it counts.

Opening Repertoire: A Mystery Wrapped in a Puzzle

Konstantinos prefers sneaky, lesser-known openings — a hefty chunk of his games fall under the Unknown Opening category, which sounds about right for a player who likes to keep his opponents guessing. He’s dabbled in the Top Secret opening as well, which sounds suspiciously like a secret agent’s favorite move.

Record and Rivalries

With over 400 wins in Daily games and more than 800 in Bullet, Konstantinos’ game count is nothing short of a chess warrior’s epic saga. His longest winning streak is a commendable 17 games, but beware his longest losing skid of 45 — even legends have their tough days.

Top opponents in his record include “kreonx” (22 clashes), “alexchess1984,” and “umbela.” Friendly rivals or fierce competitors? Depends on whose winning streak you’re rooting for!

Best Moments & Recent Battles

One of his latest triumphs was a deft victory with the Torre Attack Fianchetto Defense, sealed by resignation against a strong opponent rated over 2580 — quite the feather in his cap. On the flip side, even grandmasters stumble: a recent loss by checkmate to “CM_Haruka” reminds us that even the best have those ‘oops’ moments.

Fun Fact

If chess were a dance, Konstantinos would be a tango dancer—quick, precise, with moments of passionate surprise, and occasionally stepping on an opponent’s toes in brilliant checkmating style.

Whether blitzing through bullet games or battling out a lengthy daily duel, Tsarsitalidis Konstantinos embodies the spirit of a true chess enthusiast—with a rating graph as adventurous as the games he plays!
