Profile Summary: arctiky

Meet arctiky, a chess enthusiast whose journey through the 64 squares resembles a rollercoaster ride—with plenty of thrilling ups, strategic downs, and the occasional loop-de-loop. Rising to a peak Rapid rating of 1480 back in 2021, arctiky has since ventured boldly into the mysterious depths of chess ratings, proving that every master once stumbled on the pawns.

A Rapid specialist with over 350 games played, arctiky is known for embracing the Scandinavian Defense with a fearless grin—boasting an undefeated record against it in 43 encounters with a respectable 44% win rate. Not one to shy away from variety, Center Game and Nimzowitsch Defense Kennedy Linksspringer Variation also spice up this player's opening repertoire. If openings were ice cream, arctiky wouldn’t settle for just vanilla; it’s more like an unpredictable flavor shop.

While the Blitz and Bullet ratings might raise an eyebrow at first—with maximum Blitz rating just over 1045 and Bullet around 997—these numbers only hint at the daring speed-play adventures arctiky undertakes. It’s clear this player prefers to think a tick longer, savoring the battle instead of rushing through.

Highlights in play style include a solid comeback rate of 57.55%, proving arctiky refuses to throw in the towel early. Indeed, the legendary resilience is showcased by a 100% win record after losing a piece—making every blunder a potential plot twist.

Arctiky’s games often last just over 50 moves regardless of result—evidence of thorough battles that don’t end with cheap tricks. Fun fact: winning with White is just a bit easier (39%) than with Black (36%), suggesting a tenacious defender no matter the color of the pieces.

An intriguing psychological footnote is the “Tilt Factor” at 12%. So yes, there might be a few moments of keyboard-mashing frustration, but hey, what’s chess without a little drama? The player’s best days to strike victory runs are Thursdays and Saturdays, when the win rate soars near a cheery 58%. Clearly, weekends bring out the chess beast.
