Player Profile: kotkars

Meet kotkars, a relentless rapid chess warrior whose journey through the 64 squares is as colorful and unpredictable as a piece dance in a tornado. Their peak rapid rating was a respectable 996 in mid-2023, a signal that the queen occasionally bows to kotkars’ tactical flair. Though the rating dipped in 2025 down to 327, this player’s tenacity and love for complicated battles shine through their extensive game library, with over 700 rapid games logged in just a few months.

Wins and losses almost have a love-hate relationship here: over 300 victories to nearly 340 defeats, about 50 draws sprinkled in. But numbers don't tell the whole story—with a comeback rate of 63.58%, kotkars fights on even after losing pieces, displaying true resilience (and maybe the spirit of a phoenix rising from the chessboard ashes).

If kotkars were a chess opening, they'd be the King's Pawn Opening — playing it 234 times with nearly a 49% win rate, boldly charging ahead. Other favorites include the Bishop’s Opening and the Englund Gambit, revealing a taste for both classic and cheeky gambits alike. But beware: the French Defense tends to be a thorn in their side, reflecting the occasional struggle against stubborn defenses.

When does kotkars shine the brightest? Midnight! Their best time of day to play is 00:00, with a perfect 100% win rate (albeit from limited data). The mysterious hours might just fuel their strategic genius—or their caffeine buzz.

Patience is their secret weapon — the average rapid game victory lasts around 48 moves, a sign they're in no rush to deliver checkmate, preferring grueling positional struggles. Although they sometimes wave the white flag early, their early resignation rate is a modest 2.94%, so they rarely throw in the towel without at least a feisty fight.

Psychologically speaking, a tilt factor of 8 hints that losing a few in a row can ruffle their feathers, but don’t underestimate their mental toughness given the many comeback wins. Plus, their rated games show a nearly 45% higher win rate over casual ones, proving kotkars really brings the heat when stakes are high.

Recent games reveal a flair for dramatic finishes, with last victories including wins on time and checkmates unleashed after clever tactical dance moves. Losses too have come by checkmate or resignation, showing that katkars’ matches are never dull — always thrilling chess theater.

Against opponents, kotkars has notable nemeses like swswaldus and rompe_t0t0 where victory proved elusive, but boasts perfect historic records against a wide range of challengers who probably still double-check their opening moves when seeing kotkars’ name.

All in all, kotkars is the kind of player who might lose some battles but will never be bored, embracing every pitch on the chessboard with a warrior’s heart and a strategist’s mind — sometimes with a bit of midnight madness thrown in.
