Profile: kubko29
Meet kubko29, a Rapid chess enthusiast whose journey in 2025 has been as thrilling as a roller-coaster ride through the chessboard!
Rating and Performance
Starting off the year with a striking peak Rapid rating of 622 in March, kubko29 has shown resilience and grit despite a roller-coaster of highs and lows. Their Rapid rating dipped to the low hundreds but then impressively stabilized around 278 by June, showing a comeback worthy of a suspense novel.
While daily games remain their enigmatic Achilles' heel (a solitary game with a loss at rating 646), kubko29’s rapid battles reveal a fierce competitor with almost equal wins and losses – 298 wins to 293 losses and a respectable 104 draws. Not just a grinder, kubko29 tends to end games decisively, boasting a fondness for resignations when victory is clear, winning 209 games by resignation and 67 by checkmate.
Playing Style & Tactical Flair
With an Early Resignation Rate of just 9.86%, kubko29 prefers to fight until the endgame, engaging in long, strategic battles averaging 54 moves per win. Their games stretch on, no quick draws here! Interestingly, the player’s black pieces perform slightly better than white, winning 43.06% of the time compared to 42.57% with white.
Tactical awareness is kubko29’s secret weapon, clocking an impressive 61.41% comeback rate. They turn tough situations around more than half the time, though losing a piece puts them at a 33.39% chance to still win – fighting spirit, indeed! However, avoid one-sided losses if you dare challenge kubko29; those come in with a modest 12.24% rate.
Opening Choices
King’s Pawn Opening is their trusty steed, with over 210 games and a solid ~43% win rate. The Leonardis Variation spices things up with close to 46% wins, while the French Defense Normal Variation is their personal highlight boasting a near-flawless 58.82% win rate. Scandinavian Defense also stands out with a formidable win percentage of 53.85%, clearly a favored battleground.
Psychological Profile
kubko29’s best time to play is around 4 PM, where their win rates soar past 56%. Beware late night matches, Sundays, and Thursdays, where their win rates drop below 42%. A tilt factor of 6 means kubko29 keeps cool under pressure better than most—but nobody’s perfect!
Recent Battles
Kubko29’s recent games include some dramatic finishes: a checkmate victory against ZenXmissclick and wins over opponents like lecobot_prime and DobrijZmej. However, they’ve also tasted defeat, notably losing to kalen100507 in a well-fought duel.
Fun Fact
Despite the swings in ratings and fierce battles, kubko29 answers every challenge with a grin (or maybe a groan) and a keen eye on the tactical prize. A player who’s equal parts strategist, fighter, and chessboard magician—kubko29’s story is still unfolding, one knight move at a time.
