Kaiyu Ning (Username: Qnmeng)
Kaiyu Ning, proudly bearing the title of Woman International Master awarded by FIDE, is a chess force to be reckoned with. Known online as Qnmeng, they blend tactical wizardry with a hint of flair — often leaving opponents either in awe or scratching their heads.
With a peak Blitz rating soaring at an impressive 2827 achieved in September 2023, Kaiyu can blitz through complex positions faster than most can say "checkmate." Their Rapid peak hit 2471 back in August 2020, proving that slow and steady is definitely not their style — though steady, indeed, they are.
Rapid, Blitz, or Bullet — Kaiyu has tasted victory and occasional defeat across all time controls:
- Rapid: 34 wins, 22 losses, 7 draws
- Blitz: 54 wins, 47 losses, 7 draws
- Bullet: 8 wins, 6 losses, 3 draws
Their playing style is a mix of patience and precision, taking an average of over 80 moves to seal a win, brutalizing endgames with an impressive 88.3% frequency in decisive finishes. It's evident that Kaiyu likes to make the most out of every pawn and knight — probably plotting world domination one rook at a time.
When it comes to psychological resilience, Kaiyu shines with an astonishing 89.58% comeback rate and a 49.71% win rate even after losing a piece. Never underestimate this player’s fighting spirit—it’s as tenacious as a knight hopping from square to square with a vendetta!
Favorite times to play? Early mornings around 7 AM and Thursdays seem to boost their brilliance, boasting a winning rate of 81.25% on that day—clearly the day gods favor queens and bishops.
The opening repertoire is well-guarded (a "top secret" they probably won’t spill), but a stellar win rate of around 54% in Rapid games hints at the potency of their opening strategies.
Recent Triumph Highlights
In a thrilling Blitz game on September 19, 2023, Kaiyu (as White) dominated against the formidable "Mr_ruthless," orchestrating a magnificent sequence leading to victory by time control — a true testament to their speed and sharpness. The game featured the Benoni Defense where Kaiyu's strategic pawn pushes and tactical vision overwhelmed the opponent.
Kaiyu’s resilience sometimes faces challenges, too. A tough loss against "only_strong_moves" on the same day serves as reminder that even the best have off-days. But rest assured, with a tilt factor of just 8, Kaiyu bounces back quicker than a pawn transforms into a queen.
In summary, Kaiyu Ning is the chess player who brings the heat, the wit, and the staying power. Whether it’s bullet speed or marathon endgames, their chessboard antics are as thrilling as a well-timed queen sacrifice — and just as unforgettable.
Note to opponents: Try not to blink during Kaiyu's games; you might miss the moment when everything falls apart for you!
