Profile Summary: Santosh_Kampli

Meet Santosh_Kampli, a chess warrior known for courage, resilience, and a dash of unpredictability on the 64 squares. With a peak rapid rating of 834 (reached in November 2023) and a daily chess peak rating of 864, Santosh demonstrates flashes of brilliance peppered with the humility of an underdog.

Chess Journey & Style

Santosh thrives mostly in rapid games, having battled through hundreds of matches with a nearly 45% win rate in that format. Not exactly the reigning king of Blitz, but definitely a contender who refuses to quit easily—thanks to a nifty 63% comeback rate after falling behind!

True to the classic motto of "sometimes you win, sometimes you learn," Santosh resigns early in nearly 24% of games to save precious time for future battles (or maybe just to grab a snack). His average wins last a strategic 46 moves, while losses tend to conclude sharper and quicker around 34 moves. Whether wielding the white pieces or the black, Santosh maintains a modest but respectable win rate (46% with White and 42% with Black), showing he’s equally comfortable attacking or defending.

Tough Times & Triumphs

Chess is a rollercoaster, and Santosh knows that well. His longest winning streak is a spirited 7 games, but his longest losing streak is a humbling 9 games. The current form might be rough, facing a 5-game losing streak, but hey, that's just fuel for the comeback!

He’s not just about solid fundamentals — mappings of his opponents reveal some favorites like amaansheikh121, against whom he has an 80% win rate. On the flip side, certain rivals like ojila100 and mustaphahai have proven to be particularly thorny challenges (0% win rate there!). His resilience shines most in late-game battles, with an endgame frequency of 31%, proving he’s in it for the long haul.

Memorable Games & Fun Facts

One memorable recent game saw Santosh triumph by resignation after a tense skirmish in the Four Knights Game — a classic opening reflecting his love for traditional chess theories with a modern twist. His best time to play? Apparently, 7 PM, when the stars align (and maybe the coffee kicks in) for optimal brilliance.

Santosh's psychology on the board is as intriguing as his moves; a low tilt factor of 9 means he rarely lets losses get under his skin (well, except maybe during those 5 recent losses in a row). Plus, his knack for picking timely resignations is rivaled only by his knack for making comebacks.

In Conclusion

Santosh_Kampli’s chess story is a vibrant mix of persistence, learning, and moments of pure tactical joy. Whether facing the clock, a tough Nova opponent, or the whims of fate, he’s a player who embodies the spirit of the game — play hard, laugh often, and never stop moving those pawns!
