Player Profile: Ksthandi

Meet Ksthandi, a chess contender who’s seen the battlefield of the 64 squares with both glory and humility. Clocking in with a peak blitz rating of 410 and an even more impressive rapid pinnacle of 562, this player dances between lightning-fast blitz bouts and the steadier pace of rapid games like a seasoned gladiator with a penchant for pawns.

Not one to shy away from variety, Ksthandi enjoys shaking hands with an eclectic range of openings. While the King’s Pawn Opening serves as a trusty steed in blitz (with a tough win rate hovering near 47%), in rapid games they truly shine with sharper lines such as the King’s Knight Variation and the Vienna Game, boasting win rates touching 60%. Opponents beware — when Ksthandi pulls out the Leonardis or dives into a Vienna, the game is anything but predictable.

Yet, like all heroes, there’s room to grow. Sometimes the Caro-Kann Defense and Scandinavian defense see Ksthandi struggle to find their groove, with win rates dipping into the 20% range in blitz. But hey, every knight was once a pawn! The journey is ongoing, and so are the battles.

Style & Psychology

A true strategist, Ksthandi tends to engage deeply in the endgame—64% of their games reach this critical stage, with wins coming from patiently grinding down foes over an average of 55 moves. Expect resilience; a comeback rate of over 68% means when down a piece, they’re not down for long. But beware the tilt: a tilt factor of 9 suggests every loss can sting a little more than usual. Luckily, their best time to strike is around 2 PM, when the tactical neurons are firing hottest.

Recent Performance Highlights

  • Current win-loss balance stands at a solid but hard-earned: 114 wins vs. 121 losses in blitz and 172 wins vs. 189 losses in rapid.
  • Longest winning streak: 9 games, proving they can ride the wave when the stars align.
  • Most recent win was a clever mastery in the Bishop's Opening, wrapping up with a resignation from their opponent.
  • Recent losses? Well, every grandmaster has them! Even the best stumble before making their great comeback.

Notable Opponent Record

Ksthandi’s foes sometimes find themselves on the wrong end of the board – consecutive wins against players like thekingduck30, sela69000, and eclaylton (all 100% defeat rates). Although some players like xdreams23 and whitemullaxx have cracked their defense from time to time, it’s clear that playing Ksthandi is never a walk in the park.

Fun Fact

Our hero has a surprisingly low early resignation rate of only 3.87%, indicating a penchant for fighting to the bitter end — whether it’s a brilliant checkmate or a heroic time scramble, Ksthandi rarely surrenders the battlefield prematurely!

In summary: Ksthandi is a determined and versatile player who battles with spirit, variety, and a touch of flair. Expect anything from rapid-fire skirmishes to marathon endgames filled with tactical wizardry — plus the occasional tilt-induced groan.
