Meet TaeKwondoKing
GM TaeKwondoKing is a FIDE Grandmaster whose online chess style lands somewhere between a sprint, a street fight, and a magic show. The username suggests taekwondo, the rating suggests a serious title, and the game count suggests a person who has never met a queue they could not join. TaeKwondoKing's preferred time control is Blitz, where the King can test all those Grandmaster reflexes without waiting around for the end of the world.
Over the years the stats have piled up like trophies in a dojo. A bullet peak of 2999 (2025-11-02) and a blitz peak of 2928 (2025-11-15) show that this Grandmaster is allergic to slow games. Even Rapid, when it happens, is treated like a dramatic movie that eventually gets a sequel.
Twenty-Nine Wins of Fury
The longest winning streak recorded for TaeKwondoKing is 29 games. That is not a hot streak; it is a hostile takeover. The longest losing streak is 12, which the Grandmaster probably prefers to call a "reset." What matters more is the comeback rate, which sits at 83.81 percent. Even after losing a piece, the King still wins over 53 percent of the time. Lose a piece? No problem. The King simply changes the plan and keeps kicking. This stubborn resilience shows up in a white win rate of 59.06 percent and a black win rate of 53.08 percent.
The road from 2014 onward has had spikes, dips, and at least one roller coaster that should have been reported to the authorities. The Blitz journey is best absorbed through the magic of a chart, because numbers alone would be too much for the human brain.
Repertoire: A Buffet of First Moves
TaeKwondoKing is equally comfortable opening with b3, Nf3, e4, or c4, often in the same evening. The Nimzo-Larsen Attack appears constantly, and the King is happy to play it from either side of the board, because rules are merely suggestions. Against 1.e4, the Sicilian Defense is a regular companion, and the King punishes it with a win rate above 67 percent in Blitz. The Modern Defense also makes frequent appearances, inviting opponents to attack before revealing that the whole setup was a trap.
The openings data is basically a museum of flexible chess. The English Opening, the Caro-Kann Defense, and the French Defense all show up, but the results speak a clear language: TaeKwondoKing wins with almost everything. For a visual summary of the damage, look no further.
Familiar Faces: The Circle of Online Rivals
No online fighter is complete without a reliable supporting cast. TaeKwondoKing has played well over 200 games against Nicholas Rosenthal, Safal Bora, and Joseph Levine. Against roseychess the King holds a slim edge. Against want2lose, the story is sadly different; the King keeps showing up, and want2lose keeps winning enough to make it personal. PracticeMakesOK is the perfect confidence booster, because the King has won more than twice as many games as they have lost against that particular opponent. Lucas Liascovich also remains on the list of regular sparring partners, proof that even Grandmasters need people they can blame.
These repeated battles create a strange combination of rivalry and friendship. In the online chess world, seeing the same username in the lobby is like seeing an old classmate at the gym: you nod, you fight, and then you do it again tomorrow with three seconds left on the clock.
Power Hours and Weird Habits
The numbers suggest that TaeKwondoKing is most dangerous at 10:00 AM, with a win rate close to 60 percent in that hour. That is probably after breakfast and before anyone can ask them to do something boring. For a player who loves Blitz, the games are surprisingly long. Wins often last more than 78 moves, and losses are even longer, which means the King rarely lets anyone escape without a full workout.
TaeKwondoKing reaches the endgame in nearly 88 percent of games, and the queen is the most common checking piece by a mile. There have been more than 31,000 queen checks in recorded data, which is basically a royal army firing in every direction. With a tilt factor of 12 and a longest losing streak of 12, the King swings between unstoppable and suddenly humble. It is not a flaw; it is performance art.
