Profile Summary: No Thing (aka akashezon)
No Thing, also known by the username akashezon, is a chess enthusiast whose journey reads like an epic saga of ups, downs, and occasional surprise victories. With a peak rapid rating of 697 achieved in March 2023, No Thing’s chess exploits prove that persistence often trumps sheer talent (or at least wins a fair share of games!).
Playing Style & Strengths
Known for an early resignation rate of just 5.5%, No Thing clearly knows when to fight and when to save energy for the next battle. An impressive 60% comeback rate after a setback shows resilience, though the journey sometimes ends with longer losses—an average of 57 moves per loss points to epic fights that test both nerves and coffee supplies.
No Thing favors classic and sometimes cheeky openings like the Englund Gambit, boasting a perfect 100% win rate there in rapid games—because who says gambits can't be glorious? The King's Pawn Opening is also a staple, with nearly half the games ending as wins, showing a solid grasp of fundamental chess principles.
Ratings & Statistics
- Rapid: Peak 697 (March 2023), with over 140 games combining wins, losses, and draws.
- Bullet: Reached a top rating of 564, though occasionally blitz speed seems faster than finger reflexes.
- Blitz: Max of 495, showing solid skills in fast-paced play.
- Daily: A perfect and emphatic 800 rating from a recent game (go No Thing!)
Memorable Moments
With a longest winning streak of 7 games and equally lengthy losing streaks, No Thing’s chess career embodies the beautiful rollercoaster of the game. Fans of dramatic flair will appreciate the recent victory against “armaaaaaaaaaaan” featuring a Ruy Lopez Berlin Defense where No Thing won by resignation, proving that patience and strategy do pay off!
Chess Quirks
Playing best around 9 AM and showing a tilt factor of 7 (because who doesn’t get a little miffed when the knight jumps unexpectedly?), No Thing mixes tactical awareness with the wisdom of knowing when to fold ’em. A 48% win rate as White and a slightly humbler 37% as Black reveals a fondness for starting off on the front foot.
Opponents beware: No Thing has a 100% win record against a handful of rivals, so either luck or clever preparation is clearly involved. On the flip side, some nemeses keep the meetings tough, making each match an exciting event.
In Conclusion
Whether it’s blitz, bullet, rapid, or daily chess, No Thing brings a unique blend of persistence, clever gambits, and humorous humility to the board. A profile that suggests the motto: “Chess isn’t just about winning, it’s about turning every loss into a lesson and every game into a story.”
