Pratama - The Relentless Chess Adventurer

Known online as ampratama, Pratama is a chess player who turns pawns into stories and knights into legends (well, most of the time).

Rating Rollercoaster

Starting modestly back in 2019 with a Daily rating of around 858, Pratama embarked on a journey that saw dramatic spikes and the occasional plateau. Their peak Daily rating hit an impressive 1728 in September 2021, showcasing the heights achievable with dedication (and some stubbornness). Their Rapid games shine brightest, with a peak rating soaring to 1853 in late 2024—because who doesn’t love agony mixed with adrenaline?

Opening Repertoire: The Love-Hate Saga

Pratama’s chess openings resemble an adventurous menu: favorite dishes like the Queens Pawn Opening Zukertort Chigorin Variation served with a delicious 87% win rate, contrast sharply with the infamous Top Secret opening (which, spoiler alert, yields a humble 4.76% win rate). Clearly, some gambits are embraced like a warm hug, while others are more like that new spicy sauce you weren’t ready for.

Playing Style & Personality

Pratama has a notorious early resignation rate of about 7.3%—sometimes the battle is not worth the hassle, but the comeback rate of nearly 77% proves that giving up early isn’t the end of the story for this resilient tactician. With an average of 57 moves per win and almost 65 moves per loss, their games are marathons more than sprints, a testament to their enduring fighting spirit.

They embrace endgames with zeal (67% of games reach that stage) and tactically thrive, especially when the going gets tough after losing a piece (winning almost half those fights!). Between 21 consecutive wins at their best and a humbling 47-game losing streak at times, Pratama’s chess journey is nothing short of a dramatic series worthy of its own Netflix season.

Recent Triumphs & Trials

In one recent thrilling encounter, Pratama outmaneuvered their opponent in a Caro-Kann Defense Exchange Variation, winning by resignation—a classic tale of outsmarting and outlasting. Not every day’s a victory, though; losses on time have been part of the package, proving that even the best can forget to set the clock (or get caught in the excitement).

Fun Facts and Quirks

• Best playing hours? Somewhere between 10 PM and midnight, when the brain is turbocharged and the pawns whisper secrets.
• Loves to surprise opponents with occasionally unexpected openings—“Top Secret” might as well be called “Top Mystery.”
• Known to play both aggressively and pragmatically, toggling between gambit and defense like a true chess chameleon.

With a blend of tactical grit, occasional mischief, and a streak of resilience, Pratama’s chess story is still unfolding. The chessboard is his stage, and every game, a new adventure.
