Profile Summary: Kostyam21

Meet Kostyam21, a relentless chess enthusiast known for turning modest beginnings into solid victories on the daily battlefield of pawns and knights. Starting with a humble initial rating around 824 in 2018, Kostyam21 has steadily climbed the ranks, hitting a peak rating of 1230 in April 2022. Not a grandmaster yet, but definitely a grand contender in his own right!

Playing mostly on the daily time control, Kostyam21 exhibits impressive endurance with an average game length nearing 62 moves when victorious—because why settle for quick wins when you can play the long game and wear down opponents’ willpower? Endgames are Kostyam21’s jam, engaging in this final dance in two-thirds of all games!

Known to have a comeback rate of nearly 65%, this player is the type who doesn’t give up easily — losing a piece? No problem! Kostyam21 still manages to pull off wins more than half the time. You might say resilience is programmed directly into their chess engine.

The opening secrets remain a mystery to most, but the stats don't lie: with a respectable 61% win rate in over 190 games, it’s clear Kostyam21 knows how to start strong and keep the momentum going. That 11-game winning streak? Legendary in their circle. However, watch out for the longest losing streak of 7 games — even the best sometimes need a moment to rethink their strategy... or take a snack break.

When it comes to daily battles against familiar foes, pastuh is the main rival, facing off 159 times with Kostyam21 winning nearly 67% of those encounters. Talk about a rivalry that keeps the pieces moving and hearts racing!

Optimal performance appears late in the night, with a perfect 100% win rate at 22:00. Maybe the stars are aligning or caffeine kicks in, but whatever the reason, don’t challenge Kostyam21 that hour if you value your king.

Recent Highlights:

  • Latest stunning victory by checkmate on September 2, 2022, showcasing sharp tactical vision and a killer instinct. Checkmate achieved after a fierce battle against adanus1 in a Center Game Accepted – Paulsen Attack variation.
  • Despite a few setbacks, including a tough checkmate loss on September 20, 2022, Kostyam21’s eagerness to learn and adapt ensures that these occasional defeats only fuel future triumphs.

In sum, Kostyam21 is your neighborhood scrappy chess warrior—always digging in, always plotting, and yes, sometimes resigning early with a grin (early resignation rate of 7% keeps things spicy). With strong tactical awareness and a penchant for endgames, this player is as comfortable defending as they are laying the trap — probably with a snack in hand, ready for the next move.

So, if you bump into Kostyam21 online, bring your best game, your toughest mindset, and maybe a coffee. Because this player doesn’t just play chess—they live it.
