AndriPriza - The Tenacious Tactician of the 64 Squares
Once upon a checkered board, there arose a chess player known simply by the username AndriPriza. With a peak Blitz rating of 646 and a Rapid rating climbing to an impressive 613 early in 2023, AndriPriza has been waging tactical battles and enduring thrilling challenges across all time controls. Not one to shy away from the grind, this player’s journey is sprinkled with peaks, valleys, and plenty of “Oops, I blundered!” moments.
Known for a resilient comeback rate of about 73%, AndriPriza doesn’t just surrender at the first sign of trouble — oh no! With a strong penchant for turning losses around and embracing the chaos of the middle and endgame (over 52% of wins come after long struggles), our hero thrives where most brains start to give up. A strategic lover of the Four Knights Game Italian Variation and a tactical fan of the Scandinavian Defense Mieses Kotrc Variation (which has a flawless 100% win rate in Bullet games!), Andri mixes classical openings with sharp counter-punches.
While AndriPriza may have faced a fair share of setbacks — including an unlucky streak of twelve consecutive losses at one point — there’s a light-hearted spirit behind every defeat. With an "early resignation" rate under 5%, this player usually fights to the last pawn, making resignations less surrender and more a strategic choice.
Favorite battles are fought under time pressure, with rapid and blitz games revealing a dynamic style: patient with White (almost 46% win rate) and tougher with Black (36%), always eager to test opponents till the final checkmate. Interestingly, Andri’s top performances often come during the early morning hours, particularly around 8 AM — perhaps fueled by coffee and pure willpower.
