Overview

oKPSo is an energetic online chess player who thrives when the clocks are flashing. A Blitz-first competitor with a taste for gambits and solid defenses, oKPSo mixes tactical improvisation with marathon endgame fights — often in the same game. This short bio highlights style, favorite openings, rivalries and a tidy sample game for playback.

Playing Style

Fast instincts, durable technique. oKPSo loves the adrenaline of short time controls but rarely gives up early — endgames come more often than instant resignations.

  • Preferred time control: Blitz (the sweet spot for quick decisions and creative blunders).
  • Comeback specialist: fights back often after setbacks; high comeback rate and respectable win-rate when down material.
  • Endgame-oriented: many wins are earned in long, technical finishes (avg moves per win is high).
  • Psychology: tilt factor ~11 — grumpy after mistakes, but bounces back with stubborn tactics.

Openings & Repertoire

oKPSo displays a clear preference for sturdy defenses as Black and open, tactical systems as White. The Caro-Kann is a recurring theme, while the Amar Gambit and Scotch/Scandinavian lines spice up the quick games.

  • Go-to defenses: Caro-Kann Defense shows up across formats.
  • Gambit calling card: Amar Gambit — particularly lethal in Bullet and surprise Blitz lines.
  • Common attacking choices: Scotch Game and Scandinavian for sharp open play.
  • Pro tip: in Rapid play oKPSo’s openings often translate into higher efficiency (see rapid peak).

Career Highlights

oKPSo has logged notable peaks and memorable streaks across formats.

  • Rapid peak is a standout moment — check the rapid peak stat: 1911 (2023-03-13).
  • Blitz surged in 2021 during a rapid improvement phase — see the Blitz trend:

    .
  • Longest winning streak: 18 games — a run that probably involved equal parts brilliance and lucky forks.
  • Preferred battlefield: Blitz — where instinct and speed meet strategy.

Records & Rivals

Frequent rematches have produced classic rivalries and a stack of head-to-head stories.

  • Most-played opponent: akankanwadi — 110 games, a tight record (57–50–3).
  • Other regulars: zladez, leovaglio, oddmetermusic, raslanms.
  • Best hours: late morning and certain prime-time windows show higher win rates — great for scheduling your revenge match.

Streaks, Trends & Psychology

Numbers reveal patterns: oKPSo is resilient, sometimes streaky, and often at their best when the clock is tight.

  • Longest losing streak: 11 games — recoveries typically follow.
  • Current losing streak: 1 — time to warm up and flip it.
  • Tactical resilience: solid win-rate after losing material; keeps fighting.
  • Game length: decisive games tend to be long for Blitz players — patience pays off.

Overview — quick wins & patterns

Nice session — you showed sharp tactical awareness in your win vs lonigoscacchifightclub and played energetic blitz chess. A few recurring themes appear in your recent games: good piece activity and tactical finishing, but also risky kingside weaknesses and endgame handling problems. Below are concrete, prioritized suggestions you can use immediately in blitz.

Replay your tactical finish (highlight)

Here’s the win where you finished with a neat mating net — review it to reinforce the pattern of using knights + queen against a castled king:

Game viewer (play through to the final mate):

What you did well

  • Spotting tactical motifs quickly — you converted tactical sequences into mate in the LonigoScacchiFightClub game (knight sacrifices + queen infiltration).
  • Aggressive piece activity — you use active piece play (knights and queen) to create threats and force your opponent into mistakes.
  • Opening familiarity — you regularly reach playable middlegames in lines like Queen’s Gambit-type structures and handle central tension well.

Areas to improve (highest impact first)

  • King safety and pawn pushes on the kingside — several losses/mates stemmed from advancing kingside pawns (g-pawn, h-pawn) or creating holes around your king. In blitz, avoid too many pawn moves that weaken squares before your pieces are ready to defend. See king safety and back rank.
  • Watch for forced tactical shots after trades — in a couple of games opponents exploited checks and discovered checks that led to mate. Before each move, quickly scan: are there checks, captures, or threats? A 3-second safety check saves games.
  • Endgame technique / pawn races — in the long loss you allowed connected passed pawns to promote. Practice basic king + pawn vs king and queen vs rook scenarios so you can steer promotions or trade into favorable endgames. See endgame.
  • Time management in critical moments — blitz rewards a small time investment on critical positions. If you have 10–20 seconds, spend 4–6 to verify forcing lines (checks, captures, threats) rather than blitzing a move that loses tactically.
  • Premoves and auto-push risks — avoid premoves in complex positions where the opponent can interpose a tactic or sacrifice; premoves cost you material in mating patterns.

Concrete training plan (one-week blitz-friendly)

  • Daily 10–15 minute tactic session focused on mating nets, knight forks, and discovered checks. Start with 5–10 puzzles and review every mistake.
  • 3 quick endgame drills (10 minutes total): king + pawn promotion races, basic rook endgames, and queen vs rook defense patterns.
  • One slow game per week (10+0 or 15|10) to practise safety and time allocation — spend an extra 30–60 seconds in sharp moments and practice the “checks-captures-threats” scan before moving.
  • Review 2 lost games each week: identify the one moment where the evaluation swung (tactical miss, pawn push, or time blunder). Add a short note to remember it.

Practical blitz checklist (use at the board)

  • Before you move, fast scan (3 things): opponent’s checks, captures, and threats.
  • If you push a kingside pawn (g/h/f), ask: does it create a new weak square near my king?
  • Before exchanges ask: does this simplify into an endgame where the opponent’s pawn structure / passed pawns favor them?
  • If you see a knight on f3/ f5 / h4 near your king — check for forks and mating nets.
  • Create one “luft” (escape square) when you castle long or when heavy pieces are traded off the board to prevent back-rank traps.

Short-term goals (next 30 days)

  • Raise your win conversion in sharp positions by +5%: track positions where you are +1 or better and make sure they don’t slip to tactical blindsides.
  • Reduce time-flagged tactical losses: spend 30% more time on moves where checks/captures exist.
  • Practice the top 10 tactical motifs that caused you trouble (knight forks, discovered check, back-rank mate, queen infiltration).

Games to review first

  • Win vs lonigoscacchifightclub — you converted a tactical sequence. Replay the game and mark the moments where you spotted the tactic.
  • Loss vs reddyboyz28 — long game where passed pawns promoted. Identify the moment you could have prevented pawn advances or forced a favourable trade.
  • Loss vs blood-bath-313 and iplaychessatwork21 — quick mating patterns; review king safety and avoid weakening pawn pushes early in the middlegame.

Final encouragement

Your Strength Adjusted Win Rate (about 51%) shows you’re competing at a solid level — sharpening a few tactical and endgame habits will give you quick rating gains in blitz. Do the short tactic + endgame drills for a week and you should see smaller drops in the 1–3 month rating trend and fewer tactical finishes against you.

If you want, I can:

  • Generate a 7-day tactic set focused on the patterns you missed.
  • Annotate one of the loss games showing exact moments to improve.
