Catur Adi Sagita (Arek_pacitan)

FIDE Master and a formidable presence on the online chess battlefield, Catur Adi Sagita has been turning pawns into legends since 2016 and likely long before that in real life.

With a peak blitz rating soaring to an impressive 2818 in December 2023, Catur’s lightning-fast instincts and tactical prowess have made them a feared opponent in fast-paced games. Whether it's blitz or bullet, their win rates and persistence tell the story of a dedicated mind always hungry for victory.

Not content with just blitz mastery, Catur has respectable achievements in bullet chess as well, peaking at a cool 2654. They’ve also dabbled in daily and rapid games, showing versatility across all time controls—even if the daily rating never quite reached the dizzy heights of blitz.

Style of Play

Known for their strategic patience and a knack for endgames, Catur’s games often extend to 80+ moves on average before victory or defeat is claimed. Endgames account for over 83% of their matches, proving that they’re not afraid of the grind and can outlast many opponents.

Ever the optimist, their comeback rate of over 90% shows that losing a piece isn’t the end of the road—Catur often bounces back like a chessboard ninja, turning near defeat into sweet triumph. And, perhaps impressively, they tend to avoid early resignations, making sure to fight until the very last move.

Quirks & Trivia

• Despite their peak rating, they’re not immune to the occasional losing streak (the longest being 12 games), but with a longest winning streak of 14, you wouldn't bet against them bouncing right back.
• Catur’s most trusted opening “Top Secret” accounts for thousands of games — perhaps a well-guarded mystery that opponents dread facing.
• Looks like their favorite hour to play (and win) is around 1 PM, just when the world is getting serious but before the afternoon slump sets in.
• Fair warning to opponents: Their win rate on Fridays is a spicy 52.67%, perfect for kicking off the weekend with a checkmate.

In a recent clash on May 30, 2025, under the username Arek_pacitan, Catur executed a dazzling victory in the Ruy Lopez Opening: Morphy Defense Columbus Variation, winning due to clock pressure. The game was a thrilling display of strategic positioning and timely aggression.

Though losses are part of every chess player's journey, Catur's resilience is clear. Matches against equally hungry opponents like mind1mover and bach12345_lfay have tested their mettle, but each loss only hones the master’s approach.
