Profile of Anikna: The Relentless Chess Warrior

Meet Anikna, a chess player whose journey is a rollercoaster of strategic battles, tactical surprises, and epic comebacks. With a peak rapid rating soaring to an impressive 1530 earlier this year, Anikna has demonstrated a sharp mind and an unyielding spirit on the board.

Known for a rather curious opening repertoire—mostly classified under "Unknown Opening" and the mysteriously named "Top Secret"—Anikna prefers keeping opponents guessing. This enigmatic approach translates into decent win rates hovering around 48-50% in blitz, bullet, and rapid formats. They probably specialize in surprising their adversaries with moves none of us have seen before!

Speaking of formats, Anikna doesn’t shy away from any time control. Whether it's the adrenaline-pumping 1-minute bullet games or the more contemplative rapid matches, their versatility shines through. Their highest ratings reflect this: Blitz peak rating: 1315, Bullet peak rating: 1177, and Rapid peak rating: 1530 - truly a battlefield all-rounder!

Style & Strategies

With an endgame frequency exceeding 65%, Anikna loves a good fight till the very end, often dragging opponents through lengthy, intense battles averaging over 67 moves per win. But beware: if Anikna picks up a piece from the losing side, the comeback rate is a whopping 82.65%. In other words, don’t count them out just yet—there’s always hope and a surprising twist.

Early resignation is rare (6.78%), proving stamina and determination are top traits. However, a 12-point tilt factor hints that sometimes frustration sneaks in—they're human after all! Luckily, their best time to puzzle opponents is around 7 PM, so if you're scheduling a match, keep that in mind.

Record and Rivalries

Anikna has waged wars in over 3800 blitz games, barely separated by wins and losses (~1833 wins vs. 1793 losses), plus a respectable number of draws. The bullet realm stats reveal around 395 wins against 358 losses, and rapid battles are almost a coin toss with 1623 wins to 1534 losses.

Interestingly, they’ve faced some opponents repeatedly, including majid255825 (28 games) and anmolsingh1422 (18 games). For some mysterious reason, rival majid255825 has a tougher time winning, as Anikna's record implies a low win rate (28.57%) against them—a chess enigma within an enigma!

Memorable Moments

Recently, Anikna delivered a spectacular checkmate that would make even Magnus blink twice. The final move? A queen-to-h8 mate after a dramatic pawn promotion and precise coordination of rooks and bishops. If chess were a movie, that game would be the climax with fireworks and a standing ovation.
