Arif Neymetov - The Chess Adventurer (aka cazpiyanisti)

Meet Arif Neymetov, better known in the chess arenas as cazpiyanisti. A relentless rapid strategist with a peak rating of 1186 achieved on a chilly January day in 2024, Arif is the kind of player who treats every game like a dramatic novel – full of twists, turns, and cliffhangers.

A Journey Through the Ranks

Since 2019, Arif’s rapid rating has seen the highs of triumph and the lows of humble defeats, embarking on epic streaks like an impressive 12-win winning streak. Not one to shy from a challenge, his overall rapid record boasts 59 wins against 22 losses, with a sneaky draw or two thrown in for good measure.

Playing Style and Personality

Arif’s style is balanced, averaging over 50 moves per game and showing a refined endgame presence nearly half the time. His win rate with white is a confident 63%, while black pieces yield a respectable 58%, proving he’s comfortable dancing with both sides of the board.

With a comeback rate just under 60% and more than half of his wins coming after losing a piece, Arif is clearly the kind of player who never throws in the towel without a fight – unless he’s running late, in which case a 15% early resignation rate reminds us he’s human too!

Openings That Spell Trouble for Opponents

Among his favorite openings, the King’s Pawn Opening, Kings Knight Variation shines brightest with a perfect 100% win rate over three games. Not far behind are the Van t Kruijs Opening (75%) and the highly tactical French Defense (around 67%), openings where Arif proves to be a force to be reckoned with.

Wins, Losses, and Quirky Stats

While rapid games are Arif’s bread and butter, blitz and daily games provide amusing contrast: a blitz win-loss record a bit humbler at 3-12, and daily games showing flashes of brilliance with wins at a 3-6 mark. Don't be fooled—he’s still sharpening those fast reflexes.

His most frequent rival? None other than al1manov, a fierce competitor who has faced Arif no less than 42 times, yet Arif emerges victorious nearly three-quarters of the time (73.81% win rate), proving mastery over this opponent’s style.

Highlights From Recent Battles

Arif’s last recorded win was a clever finish by winning on time against khoi25082011 in a Queens Pawn Opening - Horwitz Defense game. Another recent masterpiece came with an elegant checkmate against al1manov, showcasing his tactical prowess and patience.

But even heroes stumble. His last loss was a tough resignation against al1manov after a sharp tactical skirmish. Given Arif’s low tilt factor of 5 (out of 100?), bouncing back is just another part of his chess saga.

A Day in the Life of a Chess Player

Fun fact: Arif tends to shine brightest when the clock strikes 12 noon, boasting a perfect 100% win rate at that hour. Late-night players beware – early afternoon is prime cazpiyanisti time!

In Conclusion

Arif Neymetov is a spirited chess adventurer, mixing solid tactics with a dash of humor and resilience. Whether you’re preparing to face him or simply enjoy his games from afar, one thing is clear: this is a player who values every move, each win, and every unexpected twist on the checkered battlefield.
