About pkjangra341

Once upon a chessboard, there emerged a player known as pkjangra341, a Rapid aficionado who has danced with the complexities of queens and pawns since at least 2023. With a peak Rapid rating of 1080 achieved in early 2023, pkjangra341’s journey through the ranks has been anything but a smooth gliding of the knight; more like a spirited rollercoaster ride decorated with brilliant wins and unavoidable setbacks.

Playing Style & Personality

This player’s style blends patience with tactical tenacity. Not one to resign early (only about 10% of the time), pkjangra341 loves a good endgame, seen by a frequent finish beyond the opponent’s hopes, averaging about 53 moves per win. With a comeback rate of nearly 76%, this player has the grit to claw back from losing material — which is impressive because the psychological tilt factor is a modest 7. The best time to catch pkjangra341 at their sharpest? Around 4 AM, apparently, when most mere mortals are dreaming of castles and bishops.

Tactical Awareness

When behind a piece, pkjangra341 doesn’t throw in the towel right away, boasting a 38.5% win rate after a loss of material. This fighter has faced the wrath of chess gods often, but shows equal parts resilience and stubbornness — 13.9% of losses being one-sided disasters (hey, they’re human!). They’ve endured a 7-game losing streak before, and risen to match it with a 7-game winning streak. Clearly, balance is key.

Opening Preferences

Queening the Queens Pawn Opening (Win rate ~54%) and embracing the mysterious allure of the Englund Gambit (a blistering 72.7% win rate!) are favorite ventures. Other openings like the Alekhines Defense and the Scandinavian Defense have also featured prominently, showing this player’s willingness to experiment and keep opponents guessing.

Notable Rivalries & Friends

Despite fierce battles, a few friends stand out. Matches against itsaizen1 have been frequent, with a challenging 26% win rate, while opponents like orxan677 seem to have been handled perfectly, with a 100% win record. Some opponents simply can’t crack the pkjangra code!

Recent Highlights

On June 3, 2025, pkjangra341 delivered a checkmate performance against abraham1700 in a classic Queens Pawn Opening, proving the power of patience and precise calculation. Yet, the very next day brought a heartbreaker, losing by checkmate to 1-pra in a fierce contest showing just how brutally swift chess reversals can be.

Statistics That Paint The Full Picture

  • Rapid total games: 362 (156 wins, 177 losses, 29 draws)
  • Peak Blitz rating: 420 (early 2024)
  • Peak Bullet rating: 346 (end of 2024)
  • Preferred time control: Rapid
  • Longest Winning Streak: 7 games

Whether they are masterminding a comeback, experimenting with gambits, or grinding out a tough endgame, pkjangra341 reminds us all: Chess is more than just numbers — it’s about resilience, surprises, and yes, occasionally losing spectacularly and still coming back for more.
