용재 김 - The Rapid Riley of Chess

Meet 용재 김, also known by the username yaoong, a thrill-seeker in the world of rapid chess who rides the rollercoaster of wins and losses with equal enthusiasm. Known for a peak rapid rating of 691 as of April 2025, 용재 김 is certainly not your average club player—unless your club is running a circus, because this player’s stats reveal quite the dramatic flair!

In a rapid chess career tallying 501 games, 용재 김 holds nearly an even split with 243 wins and 242 losses, sprinkled with just a few draws to keep things spicy. This fierce battler never shies away from a fight—even with a longest losing streak of 10, 용재 김's comeback rate is a dazzling 58.44%, proving that when the chips are down, the true spirit emerges.

Known for an early resignation rate of 13% (ouch, that’s chess brutal honesty!), 용재 김 prefers to keep the games long enough to average roughly 50 moves per win, showing an endurance worthy of a marathoner... or maybe it's more of a chess-long-jump, given the seesaws of fortune.

Opening Gambits & Favorite Battles

A lover of variety, 용재 김 dives boldly into many openings: the "Top Secret" line (which might just involve secret cheeses or mystery meatballs), the classic King's Pawn Opening with a respectable win rate over 50%, and an impressive 77.78% win rate with the Scandinavian Defense Closed. This player certainly knows how to confuse their opponents and keep the battlefield unpredictable.

Playing Style & Psychological Quirks

With a preference for playing white pieces, winning over 52% of those games, and a respectable 44.8% win rate as black, 용재 김 balances aggression with cunning defense. Interestingly, their best chess-playing moment is at the mystical hour of 4 AM—apparently, that’s when the stars align, or maybe it's just when the midnight snack brain kicks in.

But beware the tilt! With a modest tilt factor of 10, losing a few games might just temporarily rain on this player’s parade, yet it never lasts long because the comeback spirit soars high.

War Stories from the Board

Recent wins show crafty maneuvering and strategic resignation victories—notably against players like okishan and suhbean, where sharp tactics forced opponents to wave the white flag. Losses haven’t been too kind lately, including tough checkmates by Youssef6628 and ErenXray, demonstrating that even masters encounter the infamous “king-oops” moments.

One thing’s for sure: if you’re looking for a chess player who embodies the unpredictable spirit and relentless fight of rapid chess, 용재 김’s your contender. Office pool champion? Maybe not yet. Local legend? Absolutely.

Checkmate is not the end, it’s just the beginning of the next game!
