He plays at an estimated 752 ELO, the level of an improving beginner who can spot a simple one-move tactic but still misplaces pieces when the position grows crowded. Decades among the cocoa trees have given him a patient temperament at the board, though that patience has not yet translated into opening knowledge or deep calculation. The other farmers in his village have started asking him for games after the weighing is done, and he obliges with the same unhurried care he brings to a harvest. Expect a calm, friendly opponent who takes his time, looks for obvious captures, and occasionally hands back material when the position becomes complicated.","65","nguess","Côte d'Ivoire","ci","e4ebe2fbbc50a0c1e4192b39ee666d89050f13fde678a7561e44da75a1f9ad39","2026-07-06",752,"json",[15,18,21],{"question":16,"answer":17},"What rating is Kouassi?","Kouassi plays at an estimated 752 ELO, which places him in the improving beginner range.
