qkid2024: The National Master Who Climbed From 969
qkid2024 is a National Master with a trajectory that looks like a speedrun. In July 2024, the Blitz rating sat at 969. By April 2026, it had soared to 2850 (2026-04-08), a rise that took just under two years and a truly staggering number of games.
The data tells a story of relentless volume. October 2024 alone brought 240 Blitz games with 166 wins. November followed with 706 games. qkid2024 did not just get better, this player outworked everyone at the board.
A Blitz Machine With a Bullet Habit
While qkid2024 holds strong Rapid and Bullet ratings, peaking at 2561 and 2808 respectively, the preferred home is Blitz. The Blitz board is where the magic happens, and the numbers are enormous: more than 8,200 Blitz games, over 4,100 wins, and a peak of 2850.
- Blitz wins: 4,133
- Rapid wins: 271
- Bullet wins: 1,423
- Longest winning streak: 18 games
- Longest losing streak: 10 games
The response to that 10 game losing streak says a lot. qkid2024 bounced back with an 18 game tear and a comeback rate near 92 percent.
Openings: e4, the Scandinavian, and a Taste for the Weird
qkid2024 almost always opens with 1.e4. From there, the repertoire is deep and practical. The Scandinavian Defense appears more than 1,100 times across all time controls, making it a signature response to 1.e4 as Black. As White, qkid2024 scores consistently in the Four Knights Game and the Caro-Kann Defense, and handles the Sicilian Defense with a Closed setup that wins over 55 percent of the time in Blitz.
There is also a love for the obscure. The Amazon Attack: Siberian Attack, the Dory Defense, and the Blackburne Shilling Gambit all show up in the database. This is a player who enjoys the fight, no matter what name the opening has.
A typical Four Knights battle might look something like this:

The student became the National Master, and the climb is probably not finished.
