Andreas Kleopa (aka Pakis02)

Meet Andreas Kleopa, a chess enthusiast whose online journey is a delightful blend of gritty determination, tactical flair, and a dash of comedic timing. Known in the chess world as Pakis02, Andreas has fought valiantly across all time controls — from the lightning-fast bullet to the marathon pace of daily chess.

Rating Rollercoaster

Andreas peaked at a blitz rating of 1107 back in October 2022 and impressively cracked the 1200 mark in rapid chess by early 2023. Bullet? A modest but respectable 879. Daily chess brought a steady 800 at his peak — which means he can out-think opponents both in a snap and over a leisurely cup of coffee.

Playing Style & Streaks

Known for an endgame frequency of 45.7%, Andreas loves the climactic battles where pawns become queens and every move is loaded with tension. His average winning games last about 46 moves — long enough to brew some tea and question all life choices. His longest winning streak? An impressive 11 games. But beware: his longest losing streak stretched 10 games, proving even chess heroes have their off days.

Tactical Tenacity

With a comeback rate of nearly 67%, Andreas shows he won’t give up even when pieces are lost, though he admits victory after losing material only happens about 39% of the time. In true warrior spirit, he resigns early just under 7% of the time, possibly to avoid a deep existential crisis on the board.
