Selim Korkmaz: The Chessboard’s Biologist of Battle
Born to hatch cunning plans and scuttle across the 64 squares, Selim Korkmaz – also known by the username selimoplay – has evolved into a rapid chess contender with a rating that’s been steadily climbing from a modest 1061 in 2022 to a sharp 1485 as of 2025. Like a true chess cell dividing with each game, Selim has logged thousands of rapid games, accumulating 853 wins, 797 losses, and 121 draws in 2025 alone. Talk about a queen's gambit of grit!
His playstyle could be described as both patient and persistent, with an impressive Comeback Rate of 88.18% and a perfect 100% Win Rate After Losing a Piece. Clearly, Selim doesn’t just shed pawns—they regenerate stronger and strike back with the vigor of a tactical amoeba.
In the realm of openings, Selim's strategies remain a "Top Secret," with a win rate hovering around 47.7% in both rapid and blitz formats. Perhaps it’s a genetic mutation of cleverness—or simply a secret formula knitted tightly among his chess nucleotides.
With an Average Moves Per Win at 80.5, Selim’s games often resemble a slow, calculated mitosis rather than a quick apoptosis. Early resignation is rare, occurring only about 6.44% of the time, indicating his tenacity and willingness to metabolize complex board positions until victory or defeat is inevitable.
Interestingly, his peak performances seem to occur late in the day, boasting an almost 60% win rate at 8 AM and a robust showing late at night around 23:00 hours—perhaps mimicking the circadian rhythms of a natural chess predator.
Selim has faced a diverse ecosystem of opponents, with mixed success—dominating some with 100% wins, while paling to others. His longest winning streak stretches to 11 games, showing that when his instincts kick in, his foes may as well be facing a well-adapted predator at the peak of its prowess.
All in all, whether it's rapid, blitz, or the rare foray into bullet chess, Selim Korkmaz embodies the evolutionary spirit of the chessboard: adapting, thriving, and always plotting the next mating... err, mating-net of moves. One could say his chess career is nothing short of a biological masterpiece—an ongoing experiment in resilience, wit, and perhaps just a few cheeky cell-mates on the side.
