Beqa Kakoishvili

Beqa Kakoishvili (aka qvemexa100)

Beqa Kakoishvili, known in chess circles as qvemexa100, is a dedicated rapid chess enthusiast who has been quietly climbing the ranks since 2012. Starting with a modest rapid rating of around 1366, Beqa has persevered through wins and losses, steadily improving to a peak rapid rating of 2139 as of April 2025 — a milestone reached with a mixture of sharp tactics and “strategic” moments only a true chess adventurer can appreciate.

His journey through blitz and bullet chess shows some fun experiments in speed chess, with blitz peaking near 1570 in early days, and a somewhat modest bullet peak of 1181. Daily chess? A niche battlefield where Beqa scored a perfect 1200 rating once before apparently deciding that slow and steady was fun but not quite thrilling enough.

Playing Style & Personality

Beqa’s chess style is marked by endurance and resilience—the data suggests a high endgame frequency (~84%) and an impressive comeback rate of 80.7%, proving that giving up is simply not in his vocabulary (except for that occasional early resignation that happens about 0.6% of the time, who’s counting?). His typical games might last around 77 moves when victorious, a sure sign of patient, grinding play that would make grandmasters proud—or at least quietly nod in approval.

Not one to give up easily, he wins almost 50% of his games after losing material and keeps his tilt factor low at 8, even when a blunder threatens his castle. Best time to challenge Beqa? Apparently early in the morning around 6:00 AM, when his brain is fresh and his pawns ready to march.

Openings and Strategic Preferences

Beqa’s opening repertoire includes a variety of lines but tends to favor the classics in rapid play, showing mastery in what’s humorously labeled the "Top Secret" opening (perhaps the king’s Indian or Sicilian variants), boasting a steady 50% win rate across over 5,000 games. Also notable is the consistent success in sharp defenses like the King's Indian Orthodox Variation and the Sicilian Defense—openings made for players who like to keep their opponents guessing.

Notable Performance & Recent Battles

With over 5,500 rapid games, 36 Blitz, and a handful of bullet matches, Beqa holds a respectable overall record highlighted by 2,763 rapid wins against 2,463 losses—a grin-inducing proof that every lost game just fueled more determination.

One recent rapid triumph was a neat win by resignation on June 2, 2025, against TheOldStar. Beqa’s game showed typical resilience and patience, finishing off with a Kings Indian structure and a timely breakthrough on the queenside. Not all battles ended in victory, however; the same day saw a tough loss by resignation against ruelpampliega, a reminder that even warriors must sometimes bow.

Fun Fact

When not knight-hopping on the board, Beqa might be chuckling at the fact that his most played opponent, hossamgamry, shares exactly 10 games with him—because everyone needs a favorite sparring partner to keep things spicy!

In sum, Beqa Kakoishvili is the kind of chess player who embodies grit, tactical creativity, and the stubborn joy of the game. His steady climb in the rapid rankings is a testament to his love for the 64 squares and the drama they can produce. Watch out for the next move from qvemexa100—it might just be the trickiest one yet!
