About
Chikobek is the kind of player who doesn't just play chess — they wrestle with it. With over 11,000 games under their belt in blitz alone, it's clear that speed is their secret weapon, or at least their preferred mode of time control chaos. Known for a comeback rate north of 85%, this player has the persistence of a chess Terminator, refusing to lay down even when a piece or two goes missing.
Style & Strategy
Playing with a mix of English Openings (especially the Kings English Variation) and the Scandinavian Defense, chikobek’s games are often a whirlwind of strategic tension and tactical fireworks. Their average winning game lasts about 67 moves — because who said blitz chess has to be short? And despite a tilt factor indicating the occasional flair of frustration, their resilience shines through with an impressive 43.67% win rate after losing a piece. Talk about turning lemons into lemonade!
