With nearly 1,596 wins and over 1,670 losses in rapid games alone, Kapil walks the fine line between fierce competitor and eternal struggler. His longest winning streak was a spirited 14 games, only to be followed by a humbling 18-game losing streak — proof that even the best have their “what was I thinking?” moments.
Kapil’s favorite opening? The Scandinavian Defense and the King's Pawn Opening frequently make appearances, with a moderate but fierce win rate hovering near 50%. He isn’t one to shy away from spice in the form of the Van 't Kruijs Opening or the French Defense. In fact, his tactical awareness is highlighted by a remarkable 69.24% comeback rate — Kapil may be down, but he’s definitely not out.
