Jiri Havranek (aka Kopin11)

Meet Jiri Havranek, a rapid chess player whose rating has been on an adventurous rollercoaster ride between 236 and a peak of 720 in April 2025. Jiri’s journey from a tentative 236 to soaring highs at 720 is nothing short of impressive—sort of like starting a race on a tricycle and switching mid-way to a rocket ship!

With a knack for the Caro-Kann Defense and a curiosity that leads him through “Unknown Opening” territories (1111 games, mind you!), Jiri isn’t just about textbook plays—he thrives on surprises. His win rate across all rapid games hovers just above 50%, proving resilience and grit even in the fiercest battles. And when he’s on a roll, watch out: his longest winning streak reached a fantastic 13 games!

Jiri's games show remarkable tactical alertness, boasting a comeback success in nearly 80% of challenging positions. Yes, Jiri often turns the tables when the odds look grim—because simply losing isn’t on his agenda. However, he also knows the hard lessons of chess, having faced a losing streak as long as 10 games.

His playing style is measured; on average, it takes about 55 moves to secure a win, so patience is more than a virtue—it’s a strategy.
