QkelleQ

Chess Player Profile: QkelleQ

Meet QkelleQ, a rapid-fire tactician who dances between the ranks of excitement and unpredictability on the chessboard. With a peak rapid rating of 780 in mid-2023 and a blistering blitz peak at 894 in early 2025, QkelleQ is no stranger to the rollercoaster ride of competitive chess.

The Winning Strategy (Usually)

Specializing mostly in Rapid games, QkelleQ boasts a respectable overall record of 34 wins, 29 losses, and 3 draws in rapid play, balanced by a slightly more cautious blitz approach. Their secret weapon? The Queen's Pawn Opening, Chigorin Variation, delivering a solid win rate of 66.67% across 12 games. But watch out if they play the regular Queen's Pawn Opening – only a humble 12.5% win rate there, suggesting a bit of creative chaos or maybe just a fondness for throwing curveballs.

Playing Style

QkelleQ loves the long haul. The average winning game has about 49 moves, and even losses don’t come easy, averaging nearly 63 moves. When it comes to the endgame, they’re in familiar territory roughly 54% of the time, proving patience is a virtue. Early resignations are rare – only about 3% of games end that way – so you better be ready for a battle of wits.

Psychological Warfare & Comebacks

Known for a tenacious spirit, QkelleQ turns fights around when down material with a remarkable 45.31% win rate after losing a piece and an impressive 72.5% comeback rate overall. Their tilt factor is minimal (5), meaning you won't catch them sulking – just quietly plotting their next clever tactic.

Favorite Moments

The peak rating highlight was a rapid 780 around July 2023, but arguably the most dazzling moments come from their blitz games, striking a peak near 900 rating shortly before spring 2025.

Day & Hour: Prime Time for QkelleQ

Saturday and Friday are golden days, with win rates hovering above 60%. Best time of day? Noon sharp, with a perfect 100% win rate at 12:00. Morning or afternoon, it seems chess clocks tick in their favor, while late-night antics are less kind.

Fun Fact

If QkelleQ were a chess piece, they’d probably be a knight – unpredictable, tricky, and ready to deliver a sudden checkmate when least expected. Alternatively, their games might just give you the feeling of playing a high-speed dance-off, complete with unexpected twists and dramatic finishes.
