Title: Grandmaster (FIDE)

TaeKwondoKing is a chess virtuoso who has kicked their way into the rarefied air of Grandmaster status. Known for an aggressive bullet style that often leaves opponents breathless (and occasionally bewildered), TaeKwondoKing combines tactical wizardry with blazing speed. Their chess journey is nothing short of epic — starting from a modest bullet rating of 1362 in 2014 and rocketing to a peak of 2987 in 2025, they've practically turned the 64 squares into their personal dojo.

Playing Style & Strengths

  • Bullet Beast: With over 20,000 bullet games played, boasting a win rate close to 56%, TaeKwondoKing dominates the rapid-fire format like a true king of the board.
  • Opening Arsenal: Prefers secretive and versatile openings—Top Secret (no spoilers!), Sicilian Defense variations, French Defense with King's Indian Attack, and the Modern Defense, showing deep knowledge and flexibility.
  • Comeback King: An impressive 83.87% comeback rate shows that TaeKwondoKing rarely throws in the towel, even after setbacks. Resilience is the middle name (if only it were their username).
  • Endurance: Not just a sprinter, but a marathoner too. Averaging over 78 moves per win and 89 per loss, TaeKwondoKing plays long fights with equal tenacity.

Career Highlights

Rising swiftly through the ranks since 2014, TaeKwondoKing has overwhelmed opponents with a unique blend of precise tactics and psychological tenacity. Their peak bullet rating of 2987 in April 2025 is proof that no clock management ninja compares. Blitz and rapid formats also show excellent performance — peaking nearly 2900 in blitz and breaking 2550 in rapid, respectively.

Known for their terrifying opening preparation, TaeKwondoKing’s “Top Secret” opening category is shrouded in mystery, but we do know they wield the English Opening Fianchetto Ultra Symmetrical Line like a sharp katana, slicing through opponents with a phenomenal 78% win rate.

Notable Games

Recent victories include an impressive win using the Caro-Kann Defense Accelerated Panov Attack against GP9isback23, where TaeKwondoKing outmaneuvered their opponent until time throttled the competition. Another highlight: a dazzling checkmate against BotezSistersFan77—because nothing says "king of the board" like ending the game in under an hour with flair.

Of course, every chess legend has their tough days. TaeKwondoKing faced setbacks against tough foes like ODreamchess and DrSupreme_Squadron, reminding us that even Grandmasters sometimes need a momentary break from the throne.

Personality & Fun Facts

When not blitzing through the opponent’s defenses faster than a Taekwondo kick, TaeKwondoKing enjoys mixing artful strategy with a dash of humor — because chess is as much about the journey (and occasional sneaky sacrifice) as the destination.

With a tilt factor of just 12, this Grandmaster keeps composure even when the heat is on—unlike some knights who simply “flip the board” after a bad move.

Fun Stats:

  • Longest Winning Streak: 29 games (nearly a perfect spree!)
  • Current streak: Riding with 1 win at a time, keeping opponents guessing
  • Favorite Time to Play: The early morning brain's best chess hour is around 9 AM — no coffee required!

TaeKwondoKing’s legacy continues to grow, one precise move and clever feint at a time. Whether you’re a casual fan or a fellow competitor, it’s clear this Grandmaster doesn’t just play chess—they conquer it with style and a ninja’s grace.

Disclaimer: All opponents beware. TaeKwondoKing’s next move might just be a surprise roundhouse kick to your king!
