Meet Nick aka eunoia_nck

Nick, known online as eunoia_nck, is a cunning chess warrior with a flair for all time controls. With a peak Rapid rating soaring up to 857 and a Blitz zenith at a respectable 711, Nick doesn't just play chess — he orchestrates miniature dramas across the board.

Whether it’s blitzing out 700+ games or carefully maneuvering in Rapid matches, Nick’s win rate hovers around the 50% mark, showing he's no pushover but also keeps the drama alive with many nail-biting finishes. His specialty? The Center Game and the spectacular Scotch Game Scotch Gambit where he boasts a win rate above 70%, proving he thrives in strategic chaos.

Beware if you meet him on the board between 2 AM and 3 AM — that’s when Nick’s tactical radar is at its finest, rocking an impressive 72% win rate in those wee hours. He’s known for his psychological endurance too, boasting a comeback rate of nearly 75% and a notorious tilt factor of 18, which means he feels the heat but bounces back like a champ.

A self-described “early resignation enthusiast” (resigning early about 12% of the time, because hey, even grandmasters have their off days), Nick mixes durability with flair — expecting games to last an average of nearly 50 moves whether winning or losing.

His opening repertoire is a delightful buffet, ranging from the classical King’s Pawn Opening to the whimsical Englund Gambit, and don’t be fooled by his modest 28.57% win rate on the Van ’t Kruijs Opening — Nick clearly loves a challenge that keeps everyone guessing.

Notable Moments

• Recent Triumph: A swift victory against adzam91 in a Scotch Game, winning on time after a tenacious tactical battle.
• Last Defeat: Relinquished to jhsrk by resignation — because even the best have their kryptonite.

Off the board, Nick’s dominance isn’t limited to chess; it extends to a massive entourage of opponents where he boasts a perfect win rate (100%) against many, including the likes of gclaramunt and adzam91. On the flip side, some rivals like jhsrk have managed to crack his armor — keeping the rivalry spicy!

When not engrossed in intricate positions, Nick enjoys playing in the “liminal hours” of the day, proving that champions are really just nocturnal strategists in disguise.

In short, Nick is a strategic funster who loves a good gambit, respects the middlegame grind, and knows how to keep his opponents both entertained and educated. Watch out, his rook might just have a story to tell — and it’s likely to end with checkmate.
