Profile Summary: cviksa

Meet cviksa, a blitz virtuoso and a true chess gladiator navigating the 64 squares with a unique blend of tactical brilliance and psychological endurance. With a peak blitz rating soaring to 2456 achieved in March 2022, cviksa has journeyed impressively from humble beginnings at a 1627 rating in early 2015 to consistently maintaining a rating above 2300 ever since 2022. This player doesn't just play chess; they practically run a masterclass — with over 18,000 blitz games under their belt, racking up an impressive 10184 wins, 8731 losses, and a fair share of draws.

Known for a patient, strategic style, cviksa averages about 70 moves per win and nearly 76 moves per loss, proving their determination in battles that test endurance as much as skill. Their endgame prowess shines through with an endgame frequency above 81%, turning endgame phases into performance masterpieces. Whether it's calmly resigning early when the odds are bleak (a modest 0.31% early resign rate) or staging remarkable comebacks with an 82.61% comeback rate, cviksa adapts and thrives.

Opening repertoire? Only the finest. From the Sicilian Defense's Taimanov Bastrikov Variation, expertly wielded in over 1,000 games, boasting a solid 50.79% win rate, to the crafty Alapin Sicilian Defense, where a scorching 54.93% win rate keeps opponents guessing. The Caro-Kann Breyer Variation and Queen’s Gambit Declined are also part of the arsenal, lending depth and diversity to every blitz encounter.

Timing is everything, and cviksa’s best time to play is around 6PM, firing on all cylinders when the day transitions into evening. Unlike many mortals, they seem largely tilt-proof with a tilt factor of only 9 (translation: hardly bothered by any blunder-induced angst).

As for rivalry tales, cviksa dances a complex tango with opponents like knyaz13 and caplekhine, showcasing both fierce competition and learning curves — after all, even grandmasters have their nemeses. But careful: against some adversaries, the win rate hits flaming highs (100% versus several players), while others might sniff out a sneaky surprise.

And if you’re wondering about their most recent battlefield exploits? Games full of sharp Sicilian skirmishes, positional finesse, and tactical flair, including a recent victory by resignation after a series of crafty maneuvers proving cviksa’s domination in blitz warfare.

Overall, cviksa embodies the spirit of blitz chess—fast, clever, and always seeking the next victorious twist. Whether you’re looking for a tenacious competitor, an opening aficionado, or someone who can outlast opponents in marathon endgames, this player is a force to reckon with... and yes, also a pinch fun, because who else enjoys a 13-win streak and still plays plenty of long endgames?
