Meet kopioh: The Chess Warrior with a Dash of Drama
Once upon a chessboard, there was kopioh, a rapid and daily chess competitor whose rating has taken quite the rollercoaster ride. Peaking at a solid 986 rating in rapid chess by the end of 2024, kopioh has experienced the highs and lows of the game with gusto—no stranger to both brilliant victories and humbling setbacks.
Journey Through the Ranks
With an overall rapid record of 68 wins, 77 losses, and a handful of draws, kopioh is the embodiment of perseverance. They have perfected the art of the comeback with a nearly 74% comeback rate, proving that even when the chips are down, resignation is not the first option (except for the occasional early bow… about 1.3% of the time). Their style? A tactical mastermind who loves a good endgame, sticking around until the 60+ move mark whether winning or losing. Black pieces seem to bring out their fiercest fighting spirit, boasting a slightly higher win rate (47.44%) than when playing white.
Opening Repertoire: A Mixed Bag of Surprises
Opening novelties keep opponents on their toes: from Alekhine's Defense Scandinavian Variation with a perfect 100% win rate across 4 games, to the beloved and battle-tested Four Knights Game where kopioh claims over 70% of the spoils. Less fortunate are the King’s Pawn Opening Kings Knight Variation, where fortunes dip with a 36% win rate, but hey, variety is the spice of chess life!
Telltale Tidbits and Quirks
- Longest winning streak: 4 games (because what’s a streak without a little drama?)
- Longest losing streak: Also 4 games (balance is key)
- Best playing time: Early mornings at 6 AM—when the coffee hits and the brain switches into grandmaster mode
- Preferred days: Thursdays and Fridays flex a bit higher win rate, while Mondays keep kopioh humble

All in all...
