Arya

Arya-idk: The Tenacious Tactician

Meet Arya-idk, a chess warrior who’s been battling it out on the 64 squares since at least 2020. Starting out with a modest rapid rating of around 574, this persistent player has experienced the rollercoaster of wins and losses typical of every chess journey — with a peak rapid rating of 637 reached back in December 2020. Not bad for someone who’s faced more ups and downs than a knight’s jumps!

Despite a rough start with only a couple of rapid games in 2020, Arya truly ramped up the game volume in 2024 and 2025, playing hundreds of rapid matches while steadily improving their rating toward a solid 466 in June 2025. Blitz and bullet ratings, though admittedly humble (peak blitz at 319 and bullet at 106), show a fearless willingness to dive into faster and fiercer variants — no time to breathe, just pure adrenaline and quick moves.

Playing Style & Personality

With a 68.22% comeback rate, Arya-idk refuses to throw in the towel at the first sign of trouble. Losing a piece doesn’t crush their spirit; they bounce back with a respectable 38.25% win rate even in those grim situations. Arya’s games tend to be lively and long-lasting, averaging about 53 moves per win, suggesting a love for strategic battles rather than quick hacks.

If you spot Arya resigning early, it’s only about 5.5% of the time — not the surrendering kind! Chess is a marathon, occasionally a rollercoaster, and Arya rides every twist with grit. They thrive most when playing as White, boasting a higher win rate of 44.65% compared to Black’s 40.52%. Maybe the extra ego boost of making the first move adds some swagger!

Favorite Openings

Here’s where Arya truly shows personality on the board. “Top Secret” is their main bread and butter with over 700 games played, winning about 42% of them. But they shine brightest with the Bishop’s Opening, where the win rate climbs to a crispy 65%. Those who face Arya’s Bishop's Opening beware — the Berlin Defense and Boi Variation can be tricky, although some variations haven’t been kind, like the Boi (0% wins) and Van ‘t Kruijs Openings (also 0%), showing Arya isn’t afraid to experiment and sometimes eat humble pie.

Notable Games & Moments

Arya’s recent victories have ended with style—checkmates that would make even the grandmasters nod in approval. Take their quick mate in a Bishop’s Opening game against arthurlittlegenius (rating 425), orchestrating a final queen attack at move 23! Or their precise finish against babapiro5252, showcasing expert endgame technique to deliver checkmate after a tactical dance.

The Numbers Game

• Total rapid wins: 364, losses: 342, draws: 146 — a fierce contender clearly not afraid to mix it up.
• Longest winning streak: 7 games. Longest losing streak: 6 games. A balanced saga of highs and lows.
• Biggest psychological tilt factor is about 6, so a little frustration but nothing that ruins the board temperament.

Playing Preferences & Quirks

Arya tends to perform best around 9 PM (UTC), with a perfect 100% win rate at 21:00 and midnight hours — night owl or just a lover of the nocturnal chess hustle? Weekdays like Tuesdays and Wednesdays also see Arya’s best bursts, hovering near a 49-50% win rate, while the weekend doesn’t slow this warrior much either.

In Summary

Arya-idk is that happily relentless chess adventurer who’s seen the full spectrum of the game’s joys and heartaches. With a mix of solid openings, a stubborn refusal to quit, and endgame patience bordering on Zen master levels, Arya continues to climb the ladder. Expect more clever traps, come-from-behind wins, and, of course, the occasional spectacular checkmate that reminds us all why chess is the game of kings (and queens!).
