Arka: The Chess Virtuoso with a Secret Opening

Known in the chess world (and probably in a few local cafes) as arka1271, Arka is a rapid chess player who definitely prefers secrets—especially when it comes to openings. Sporting a peak rapid rating of 1544 in 2025, Arka has spent hundreds of games proving that a "Top Secret" opening is not just mysterious jargon but a real competitive edge.

Since 2024, Arka has played over 400 rapid games with a respectable win-loss record (237 wins to 194 losses) and an almost stealthy draw count—because who draws when you can keep the suspense going? In blitz, the journey is a bit more... rollercoaster-ish, with highs around 1067 but settling at 596 in 2025. It's clear Arka enjoys a challenge, especially when the clock ticks faster than a caffeine-fueled squirrel.

Playing Style & Personality

Arka’s chess style is a paradox wrapped in a mystery (and possibly a Danish Gambit). With an impressive endgame frequency of 64.64%, Arka loves the long haul, dragging opponents into the thick of endgames where average moves per win hover around 53. The comeback rate of 74.34% hints at a dogged spirit; losing a piece doesn't mean defeat when you play like a phoenix—rising to a 100% win rate after such a setback!

A tilt factor of just 10 suggests Arka graciously accepts losses, or maybe just plots revenge while pretending to sip tea. The early resignation rate is low—a mere 1.37%—because giving up early is for quitters and bad coffee.

Tournament Performance & Rivals

Whether it's Tuesday morning or Saturday evening, Arka's win rates fluctuate between respectable and impressive (highest win rate at 58.4% on Thursdays and an unbelievable 80% win rate at 8 pm!). Matches against familiar foes like nickrooks show a solid 66.67% success rate, while opponents like ssesimbaryans make things tough but not impossible (75%).

Arka's secret weapons include a diverse opening repertoire in blitz: from the Philidor Defense to the electrifying Danish Gambit, and the flawless 100% win rate with the Pirc Defense Maroczy Defense. Quite the grandmaster in disguise—or at least a closet strategist hiding behind mysterious moves.

Fun Facts

• Longest winning streak: 10 games. That's a serious hot streak—maybe fueled by pizza.
• Current winning streak: 4 games, so the momentum is still alive and kicking.
• Prefers rapid games but doesn’t mind the blitz chaos—though the loss count is a little salty.
• Win rate after losing a piece? 100%. Never count Arka out!

In sum, Arka is the player who might not tell you their next move, but you can bet it’s a calculated secret waiting to unfold. Whether it's a rapid game or a blitz blitzkrieg, arka1271 keeps opponents guessing—and sometimes scratching their heads in awe.
