NIKT TAKI

NIKT TAKI (aka HetmanANONIM)

Meet NIKT TAKI, a chess gladiator whose journey from humble blitz beginnings to soaring grandmaster-level battles is nothing short of epic. Starting out with a modest blitz rating of 968 in early 2018, NIKT rapidly advanced through the ranks, smashing past 2500 by early 2025 — a meteoric climb that makes rook promotions look like child’s play.

Known online as HetmanANONIM, this player’s game is a curious cocktail of calculated strategy and bold daring. From the Sicilian Defense to Giuoco Piano, NIKT commands an arsenal of openings, each wielded with a win rate that would make chess engines tip their circuits. The Sicilian Four Knights Variation, a favorite weapon, boasts a robust 51.42% win rate in blitz — quite a feat when even pawns tremble in fear.

Games with NIKT are often marathons; their average moves per win hover around 67, proving that patience, persistence, and a knack for clutch endgames (they play endgames 70% of the time!) are in their DNA. When trailing behind, don’t count them out — they have a staggering 79.82% comeback rate, turning setbacks into heroic revivals worthy of Shakespearean drama.

NIKT’s psychological profile reveals the classic warrior spirit: a tilt factor of 11 hints at occasional fiery responses to defeat but a clear preference to battle fiercely between the quiet hours and dawn — the 1 a.m. best-time-to-play statistic is no joke! Blitz, rapid, bullet — they’ve conquered all at some point, even managing a bullet peak rating north of 2440.

Off the board? Expect a mix of humor and intensity. On it? Prepare for a chess virtuoso who’s comfortable delivering checkmate with style — like in their most recent victory featuring a subtle Rh8# finish, where patience met precision and brought opponents to their knees.

Opponents beware: with over 3300 blitz wins, a myriad of well-studied openings, and a resilient fighting spirit, NIKT TAKI is not just playing chess — they’re rewriting the playbook one cunning move at a time.
