Playing Style & Notable Traits

Archemix’s games are a blend of endurance and tactical flair. With almost 47% of games reaching endgames, he’s not one to shy away from long battles or complex endings. His comeback rate of 72% proves he’s got the guts to turn a losing position around — a true fighter!

Fun fact: Artur admits an early resignation rate near 7%, suggesting he knows when to cut his losses and start plotting vengeance in the next encounter. Average moves per win hover around 54—plenty of chess stories unfolding before victory.

Opening Battlefield

When it comes to openings, Archemix has his favorites that suit his aggressive yet calculated style:

• Bishop's Opening – A solid go-to with nearly 60% win rate, proving bishops are his best friends.
• King's Pawn Opening – The classic route where he battles fiercely and wins slightly more than he loses.
• Caro-Kann Defense – Showing versatility, Archemix enjoys this solid defense, often surprising opponents with sharp tactical play.

Rivalries and Memorable Matches

Facing heavyweights, Archemix has battled foes like mauengas and oscarvargasarce with mixed results, but shines against kristinemae123 and lametafora, boasting 100% win records. A certain stubborn streak is visible, fighting uneven battles and always aiming for that winning checkmate finish.

Latest Adventures on the Board

One of Artur's freshest victorious campaigns unfolded in a blitz game with the Caro-Kann Defense (Advance Variation) where he skillfully maneuvered to an enchanting victory by resignation against KristineMae123. With a dramatic pawn promotion and persistent queen pressure, he bewildered his opponent and declared chess victory with style.

On the flipside, even masters stumble. His recent loss was to mauengas, in a fierce Vienna Game where a checkmate ended the drama — reminding us all that humility is part of the game, no matter the rating.

Psychology & Timing

Known for a modest "tilt factor" of 8, Artur keeps his cool fairly well, though he admits the early morning hours around 2 AM are his prime time for breakthroughs—perhaps chess dreams fuel his best moves! His win rates spike impressively during late nights and early dawn, proving that while the world sleeps, Archemix is scheming.
