Arkadiusz "biesiadnik" Skawinski: A FIDE Master With a Party Soul

Arkadiusz Skawinski holds the FIDE Master title, but his online handle "biesiadnik" tells you the real story: this is a player who shows up for the feast. Whether he is grinding out positional battles or blazing through bullet games, the man known as biesiadnik brings a festive energy to every board.

His Blitz form over the years is a tale of relentless improvement.

At his peak, Arkadiusz reached 2721 (2026-07-02), yet he never lost the hunger that carried him from the lower tables to the top of online lobbies. He is a marathoner, a comeback artist, and one of the most active competitors you will ever meet.

The Opening Buffet

If you sit down against Arkadiusz, be prepared for a steady diet of 1.e4. He has played the French Defense: Advance Variation hundreds of times as White, and he is just as happy to face the Sicilian Defense: Alapin Variation as Black. His love of sharp, principled openings extends to the Ruy Lopez: Closed, where he grinds opponents down with patience and a touch of party magic.

Marathon Man of the Blitz Arena

With more than 8,700 rated Blitz games, Arkadiusz has built a resume of volume that most players can only dream of. He has collected 4,216 wins, 3,793 losses, and 691 draws. The 15-game winning streak in his records shows what happens when the party really gets going.

His favorite time to play is 19:00, and on Sundays his win rate climbs above 54 percent. He also has a remarkable comeback rate of 87.73 percent, meaning he rarely lets an early misstep ruin the evening. Even when things go wrong, he finds a way to turn the music back up.

Rivalries and Familiar Faces

No biography of a frequent online fighter would be complete without mentioning the rivals who share the road. Arkadiusz has an especially cozy rivalry with Florescu Codrut Constantin, whom he has beaten 19 times in 25 games. Against birb_memes he keeps the upper hand with 16 wins and only 5 losses in 28 meetings, while Konstantin Kodinets has returned the favor with 17 wins against him in 33 battles. These repeated clashes give his profile a sense of community, like old friends arguing over the same board until late at night.

His preferred time control may be bullet, where quick hands and faster instincts rule, but his marathon sessions are mostly in Blitz. The man simply likes to play, and the numbers prove it.
