Arkadiusz Skawinski (biesiadnik)
FIDE Master Extraordinaire
Meet Arkadiusz Skawinski, known on the chess battlefield as biesiadnik, a FIDE Master who dances through the 64 squares with a blend of precision, endurance, and a splash of flair. With a peak blitz rating soaring to an impressive 2743, Arkadiusz is not just a player but a formidable force in rapid-fire, blitz, and bullet formats.
Since emerging onto the scene in 2016, Arkadiusz has battled through thousands of games—over 8,600 blitz matches alone—demonstrating a nearly 49% win rate against a galaxy of opponents, some of whom were probably considering chess just a hobby before facing him. His playstyle reflects resilience and stamina, boasting a come-back rate of almost 88% and an average game length pushing nearly 79 moves per win, proving that Arkadiusz enjoys a good tussle before claiming victory.
The Tactical Mind
Tactical awareness is Arkadiusz’s secret weapon, not just bouncing back from losing pieces but also confidently handling complex endgames. His eyes seem always sharper after setbacks, with clutch wins even when the going gets tough. Quick to resign when necessary (early resignation rate below 1%), Arkadiusz knows how to save energy for the battles worth fighting.
Not Just Numbers - The Human Side
Chess-playing hours? Arkadiusz has them figured out. His “best time of day to play” is a spirited 7 PM, when his win rate spikes and the pieces seemingly obey his command a little better. But beware opponents trying late-night duels, as his win rate around 11 PM tops 60%, turning the board into a nocturnal battleground.
Opponents beware: Arkadiusz has faced many adversaries multiple times, with fierce rivalries against usernames like chessshop, khatanbaatarbazar, and blackcloudbg. His record suggests he's as comfortable battling familiar foes as taking on fresh challengers.
Memorable Moment: The Latest Victory
One of Arkadiusz's recent masterstrokes was a thrilling win using the Caro-Kann Defense, Two Knights Mindeno Exchange Line – not only executed with polish but also sealed by the opponent’s respectful resignation. His games combine deep strategic play with tactical sharpness, often involving clever exchanges and precise endgame technique.
