Yiping Lou (unkiyto) - International Master
Yiping Lou, better known online as unkiyto, is an International Master who dances through the chessboard with remarkable wit and skill. Since bursting onto the scene in 2016, they have blitzed through thousands of games, showcasing a remarkable ability to both win and recover from tough spots — boasting a comeback rate north of 90%! Whether in bullet or blitz, Yiping's quick thinking and tactical sharpness make opponents wonder if they're playing a grandmaster or a magician.
From humble beginnings with a Blitz rating of 1389 in 2016, Yiping's rating soared to an impressive peak of 2890 in 2021, proving that dedication and perhaps a lucky rabbit’s foot go a long way in chess. Blitz is their battlefield of choice, where they command a solid 57% win rate with their mysterious "Top Secret" opening strategies — clearly, the secret's out for anyone daring enough to challenge them! Bullet games also see their lightning-fast brain in action, averaging an intense 2663 rating with nearly 58% wins.
Yiping’s style? Expect long, winding games peppered with meticulous endgames—over 81% of their wins culminate deep into the battle, as they patiently outmaneuver opponents. They rarely give up early (only about 1% early resignations), showing the heart of a true fighter. Plus, their psychological resilience is no joke: with a tilt factor of 8, they've mastered the Zen art of bouncing back and keeping calm under pressure. (Well, most of the time.)
Fun fact: Yiping's average winning streak once hit an astounding 23 games! When on fire, this player is a tempest on the board. Opponents beware — facing unkiyto means you might be staring down a blitz or bullet storm with very little margin for error.
Off the clock, Yiping keeps it mystery-wrapped, but on the clock, their track record against specific rivals speaks volumes. For instance, they have a flawless 100% win rate against many opponents like tanitoluwaaps116 and iddd99, but sometimes the chess gods remind them not everyone bows easily — with 0% wins against a few others here and there.
Whether it's storming through bullet time controls or patiently navigating rapid and daily games, Yiping Lou continues to enchant fans and confound foes, proving that chess isn't just a game — it's a grand adventure, sometimes hilariously unpredictable, always deeply strategic, and forever thrilling.
