Profile: kursadkad
Meet kursadkad, a chess enthusiast whose rating journey reads like a rollercoaster with plenty of thrill and suspense! From the humble beginnings in 2023 with Rapid ratings hovering around the 500 mark, to hitting a personal best Rapid rating of 602 in May 2025, kursadkad is steadily climbing the ladder — proving perseverance beats just about everything (except maybe a sneaky Queen fork).
Playing Style & Strengths
- Known for a willingness to fight till the end, kursadkad exhibits a robust comeback rate of nearly 69%. Never one to give up easily, even after losing material, this player keeps the battle alive longer than a sitcom rerun.
- Loves long and deep games with an average of about 54 moves per win, embracing the tension of the endgame where true warriors are made.
- White pieces yield almost a 50% win rate, while Black holds its ground with a solid mid-40s win percentage — a sign of a well-rounded player comfortable playing both sides of the board.
- Though early resignations occur occasionally (13% of games), sometimes even kursadkad knows when it’s time to say “checkmate” to their own hopes... but hey, who doesn’t?
Favorite Openings
When it comes to launching an attack or defending tenaciously, kursadkad prefers classic, tested paths with a twist:
- Queens Pawn Opening Zukertort Chigorin Variation boasts an impressive winning rate over 80% in Rapid games — a secret weapon indeed.
- The Four Knights Game Italian Variation is a trusted friend, converting more than half the games into wins.
- Sometimes kursadkad ventures into the Philidor Defense with a 75% win rate, showing off savvy defensive skills.
Stats Snapshot
- Total Rapid games played: 270+ with a W/L/D record approximately 129/109/32.
- Blitz battles are frequent and fierce, with over 130 games logged in early 2025, hovering around a 50% success rate.
- Daily chess results reflect some ups and downs, but the peak rating of 741 (October 2024) hints at potential just waiting to be fully unleashed.
- Bullet ratings show a bit more volatility but include a peak at 510 in January 2025 — fast fingers meet cold calculation.
Recent Highlights
The latest victories often come by resignation, a polite way opponents concede that messing with kursadkad is no fun — like in the breathtaking win against "Oogaaboggaa" on June 4, 2025, where strategic pressure and patience paid off handsomely.
Of course, not every battle ends in triumph. The recent checkmate loss to "sakti000009" reminds us even the mightiest can be toppled. But with a longest winning streak of 10 games on record, fluorescence of hope shines bright.
Fun Facts
- Best time to play: 3 AM — apparently the witching hour is when chess brains really fire up.
- Tilt factor: a modest 7, proving that even in defeat, kursadkad keeps cool... most of the time.
- Win rates are strongest on Tuesdays and during the 13th hour of the day — superstition or skill? You decide!
In summary, kursadkad is the kind of player who combines stubborn resilience, a knack for classic openings, and the endurance to outlast opponents long into the endgame. Whether you're facing them at the board or cheering from the sidelines, you can bet on an entertaining and unpredictable chess experience.
