Andrzej Krzywda - Candidate Master Extraordinaire
Known by the username andrzej, Andrzej Krzywda is not your average chess player. Awarded the prestigious title of Candidate Master by FIDE, Andrzej’s journey through the 64 squares reads like a gripping chess novel with a few thrilling plot twists and some dazzling strategic fireworks.
Rating Highlights & Style
Andrzej’s peak Blitz rating soared to an impressive 2551 as recently as March 2024, a testament to a lightning-fast calculating mind that thrives under pressure (and occasional caffeine boosts). Daily chess seems to be a comfort zone too, boasting a top rating of 2610 back in 2012, and never shying away from the classics. A seasoned tactician with an 85.5% comeback rate, Andrzej is the kind of player who’ll laugh in the face of lost pieces and turn the tides back with surprising endgame wizardry.
Playing with white pieces yields a slightly better success rate (53.64% wins), possibly because Andrzej enjoys having the first strike privilege, while with black pieces, almost 50% wins prove the resilience and skill under the opponent’s watchful gaze. Whether sprinting through Blitz or strategizing in Daily games, Andrzej strikes a fine balance between cunning openings and ruthless endgames — averaging around 74 moves to victory.
Opening Repertoire
While many players cling to one opening like a security blanket, Andrzej boldly tests defensive waters and top-secret gambits alike. A specialist in the “Top Secret” opening (which may or may not be a cleverly disguised ruse), Andrzej has played thousands of games with nearly equal wins and losses, proving mastery by consistency rather than mystery alone.
Notable openings include the Sicilian Defense Kan Maroczy Bind, Modern Defense Standard Line, and the Petrovs Defense Nimzowitsch Attack, demonstrating a versatile approach influenced by dynamic and classical chess traditions. For the adventurous, Andrzej even tries the Reti Opening Sicilian Invitation – with a perfect win record so far (100% success rate—because sometimes brilliance just strikes).
Victories (and Defeats) with Flair
On May 27, 2025, Andrzej secured a notable Blitz triumph over "brother-bear," showcasing impeccable positional understanding and calm nerves to clinch victory by resignation after a rich middlegame battle. The final snapshot? A beautifully executed endgame where a subtle combination left the opponent no option but to concede.
Of course, even the sharpest minds fall occasionally—as evidenced by recent losses against opponents like Nicki2013 and NLLO777. Yet, true chess warriors learn and thrive from setbacks, and Andrzej’s remarkable Low tilt factor of 7 indicates this player keeps calm and carries on with an admirable spirit.
